An element with the general electron configuration for its outermost electrons of ns2np1 would be in which element group?

Firdavs [7]

Electron configuration is the electron distribution in the molecular and atomic orbital. An element with configuration ns²np¹ will be in the 3A group. Thus, option B is correct.

<h3>What is electronic configuration?</h3>

The electronic configuration has been the arrangement and distribution of the sub-atomic particle, an electron in the atomic shells.

The electronic configuration given is, ns²np¹. Here, there are three valence electrons in the outermost orbit. As it has been known that the number of the valence electron gives the number of the group.

Therefore, option B. 3A group or 13 group is the correct option.

Suppose you want to determine which type of paper falls the fastest; an unfolded sheet of paper, a sheet of paper folded into fo

AnnZ [28]

For starters, I would get the same height for each paper, such as a counter top. Then, I would make said paper. You would use a timer of course, maybe even something like a speed gun to calculate the speed as said paper falls. You would push each paper off the counter top and calculate the speed for each paper. This is the easiest way to prove your hypothesis.

Use the drop-down menus to complete each sentence.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Explanation:

Elements that belong to same group contains same number of valence electrons. Hence, they tend to show similar chemical properties.

When we move across a period then number of electrons get added to the same shell. As a result, there will be no increase in size of elements.

Also, metals are the elements that belong to group 1, 2 and d-block elements are also known as metals. Metallic character of elements decreases when we move left to right in a periodic table.

As most reactive metals are placed on the left side of periodic table.

Since, size of elements increases on moving down the group. So, an element is able to easily lose its valence electrons because of less force of attraction between its nucleus and valence electrons.

As a result, there will be increase in reactivity of metals on moving down the group.

Thus, we can conclude that given sentences are as follows.

Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.

Elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells.

Metallic elements become less reactive as you move left to right in a period.

Metallic elements become more reactive as you move top to bottom in a group.

Suppose you are working with a NaOH stock solution but you need a solution with a lower concentration for your experiment. Calcu

Monica [59]

Answer: The volume of the 1.224 M NaOH solution needed is 26.16 mL

Explanation:

In order to prepare the dilute NaOH solution, solvent is added to a given amount of the NaOH stock solution up to a final volume of 250.0 mL.

Since only solvent is added, the amount of the solute, NaOH, in the dilute solution is the same as in the volume taken from the stock solution.

Molarity (M) is calculated from the following equation:

M = n ÷ V

where n is the number of moles of the solute in the solution, and V is the volume of the solution.

Accordingly, the number of moles of the solute is given by

n = M x V

Now, let's designate the stock NaOH solution and the dilute solution as (1) and (2), respectively . The number of moles of NaOH in each of these solutions is:

n (1) = M (1) x V (1)

n (2) = M (2) x V (2)

As the amount of NaOH in the dilute solution is the same as in the volume taken from the stock solution,

n (1) = n (2)

and

M (1) x V (1) = M (2) x V (2)

For the stock solution, M (1) = 1.244 M, and V (1) is the volume needed. For the dilute solution, M (2) = 0,1281 M, and V (2) = 250.0 mL.

The volume of the stock solution needed, V (1), is calculated as follows:

V (1) = M (2) x V (2) ÷ M (1)

V (1) = 0.1281 M x 250.0 mL ÷ 1.224 M

V (1) = 26.16 mL

The volume of the 1.224 M NaOH solution needed is 26.16 mL.

What type of chemical bond holds the na+ and cl- ions together in table salt?

fredd [130]

The bond between Na + and Cl- ions is an ionic bond

To achieve stability, atoms with low ionization energy such as Na atoms will release electrons and bind to atoms with high-affinity energy such as Cl atoms

$\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Further~explanation}}}$

Atoms have different stability. Unstable atomic atoms will try to form stable electron configurations like those of noble gases. Where noble gases have the number of outer electrons 2 or 8

The formation of electron configurations such as noble gases can be done by forming shared ions or electron pairs

Atoms with high ionization energy and atoms that are difficult to draw electrons will form bonds with shared electron pairs (electrons can be from one atom or two atoms attached)

In forming ions, atoms will release or attract electrons

Ion bonds occur because atoms that have low ionization energy (easily release electrons) form a + ion, and these electrons are bound by atoms that have large affinity energy (easily pulling electrons)

Generally, ionic bonds occur in metal and nonmetallic elements. Metal elements have low ionization energy and non-metallic elements have a high electron affinity

In Na atoms, to achieve stability, Na will release one electron so that it has an electron configuration like noble gas Ne

Na: 2 8 1

Ne: 2 8

so that it becomes a Na + ion

While the Cl atom will bind one electron, so it has an electron configuration like noble gas Ar

Cl: 2 8 7

Ar: 2 8 8

So that it becomes a Cl- ion

Finally, there will be an attractive attraction between positive ions and negative ions and NaCl is formed

So the bond between Na + and Cl- ions is an ionic bond
