How is an elements outer electron configuration related to its position in the periodic table?

Chemistry

Umnica [9.8K]3 years ago
7 0
Well, if you look at group 1 of the periodic table, you will notice a thrend. All elements in group 1 have 1 valence / outer electron. Then you look at period 2, 3, 4 and so on, you will see that the group number corresponds the number of valence/ outershell electrons. Hence, the group determines the electron(s) on the outershell.

Which of the following species cannot act as a Lewis base?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

NH4+

Explanation:

A Lewis base is a substance with the ability to share or give pairs of electrons.

The NH4 + ammonium ion donates a proton, therefore the ammonium ion is a Lewis acid.

There is an electrolytic cell in which Mn2+ is reduced to Mn and Sn is oxidized to Sn2+.
leonid [27]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Anode;

Sn(s) ------> Sn^2+(aq) + 2e

Cathode;

Mn^2+(aq) + 2e ------> Mn(s)

The minimum voltage required to drive the reaction is the cell voltage. The cell voltage is obtained from;

E°cell= E°cathode - E°anode

E°cell= -1.19 - (-0.14)

E°cell= -1.05 V

Answer these questions based on 234. 04360 as the atomic mass of thorium-234. The masses for the subatomic particles are given.
nikdorinn [45]

The mass defect for the isotope thorium-234 if given mass is 234.04360 amu is 1.85864 amu.

<h3>How do we calculate atomic mass?</h3>

Atomic mass (A) of any atom will be calculated as:

A = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

In the Thorium-234:

Number of protons = 90

Number of neutrons = 144

Mass of one proton = 1.00728 amu

Mass of one neutron = 1.00866 amu

Mass of thorium-234 = 90(1.00728) + 144(1.00866)

Mass of thorium-234 = 90.6552 + 145.24704 = 235.90224 amu

Given mass of thorium-234 = 234.04360 amu

Mass defect = 235.90224 - 234.04360 = 1.85864 amu

Hence required value is 1.85864 amu.

Explain why the electron configuration of 2-3-1 represents an atom in an excited state?
baherus [9]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

If we look at the electron configuration closely, we will discover that the element must have had a ground state electron configuration of 2,4.

This is because, the innermost shell usually holds two electrons while the outer shells hold eight electrons each. The four electrons must be accommodated in the second shell in the ground state configuration of the compound.

However, when the atom is excited, one electron from this shell may move to the third shell to give the excited state configuration 2-3-1 as shown in the question.
