4. Which of the following statements explains the cause of lanthanide contraction?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

B. PROTONS EXHIBIT STRONGER PULL ON OUTER f ORBITALS

Explanation:

Lanthanide contraction is the greater than normal decrease in the ionic radius of the lanthanide series from atomic number 57 to atomic number 71. This decrease is rather not expected of the ionic radii of these elements and they result in the greater decrease in the subsequent series of the lanthanides from the atomic number 72. The cause of which is as a result of the poor shielding effects of the nuclear charge around the electrons of the f orbitals. So therefore, protons are strongly pulled out of the 4f orbital and as a result of the poor shielding effect which causes the electrons of the 6s orbitals to be drawn more closer to the nucleus and hence resulting in a smaller atomic radii. It is worthy to note that the shielding effects of the inner electrons decreasing from s orbital to the f orbital; that is s > p > d > f. So from the decrease in the shielding effects from s to the f orbitals, lanthanide contraction results from the inability of the orbitals far away from s like the 4f orbiatls to shield the outermost shells of the lanthanide elements. So the cause of lanthanide contraction is the action of the protons which strongly pull the electrons of the f orbitals because of the poor shielding effects due to the distance of this orbital from the nucleus.

Hi um whats a single and double reaction
abruzzese [7]
A single-replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound, generating a new element and a new compound as products.

A double-replacement reaction occurs when parts of two ionic compounds are exchanged, making two new compounds. A characteristic of a double-replacement equation is that there are two compounds as reactants and two different compounds as products.

The key difference between single displacement and double displacement reaction is that, in single displacement reactions, one chemical species replaces a part of another chemical species whereas, in double displacement reactions, exchange of two ionic species between two molecules occur.

Hope this helps you.

1. The picture above shows salt (NaCl).
Gwar [14]

Answer: A Chloride is attracted to the hydrogen atoms in a water molecule.

Explanation: Salt dissociates in water because Chlorine which is an anion gets attracted to the positively charged atoms of Hydrogen in water. This attraction causes Cl to bind with Hydrogen allowing Na to be left behind.
