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

1 answer:

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.

Order the theories from oldest to most recent.

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The following are the order of point from oldest to most recent

1. Atoms are tiny indivisible particles that make up all mater.

it is Postulate of Dalton's atomic theory. this theory was put forward in 1803

2. Negatively charged electrons are embedded in a mass of positive charge.

In 1897 J.J Thomson discovered that atom consist of tiny negatively charged particles called electrons that are uniformly spread in +vely charged matrix this model called as plum pudding model.

3. Atoms consist of mostly empty space with a dense nucleus of positive charge.

While doing experiment on gold foil Rutherford presented a model in 1909 and stated that atom consist mostly empty space with dense nucleus.

4. Electrons occupy specific energy levels surrounding a positively charged nucleus.

Niels Bohr in 1913 put forward a model to explain atomic orbitals/energy level. This is a postulate of Bohr model.

5. Electrons move about a positively charged nucleus in clouds that are defined by probabilities.

In 1926 Erwin Schrödinger explain the wave function of electrons and its probability.

A sample of hydrogen gas at a pressure of 977 mm Hg and a temperature of 32 °C, occupies a volume of 11.3 liters. If the gas is

IrinaK [193]

Answer : The volume of gas sample will be, 9.93 L

Explanation :

Charles' Law : It states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles of gas.

Mathematically,

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$V_1\text{ and }T_1$ are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.

$V_2\text{ and }T_2$ are the final volume and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

$V_1=11.3L\\T_1=32^oC=(32+273)K=305K\\V_2=?\\T_2=-5^oC=(-5+273)K=268K$

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{11.3L}{305K}=\frac{V_2}{268K}\\\\V_2=9.93L$

Therefore, the volume of gas sample will be, 9.93 L

8. The best way to obtain pure, solid household salt from a solid mixture of household salt and sand is to:

dedylja [7]

The best way to obtain pure, solid household salt from a solid mixture of household salt and sand is to "add water, stir, filter and evaporate the filtrate".

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The salt and sand can be separated on the basis of solubility, as we know the salt is chemically known as sodium chloride, which have good solubility in water. The most general method is the mixture is taken into a flask or beaker and water is added with stirring, where salt get dissolved and sand remain as it is, because NaCl is capable enough to form hydrogen bonding with water, while sand have absence of such property. Then this solution containing insoluble sand is filtered by using filter paper. The sand is received in filter paper while filtrate in beaker is evaporated by boiling it in order to receive salt as residue.
