The atomic number of Li is 3
Electron configuration of Li : 1s² 2s¹
The atomic number of Na is 11
Electron configuration of Na : 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹
Thus there is one electron in the valence shell of Li (2s¹) and that of Na (3s¹). However, the valence electron in Na is in a shell that is farther away from the nucleus compared to that of Li. As a result, the Na valence electron will be held less tightly by the nucleus i.e. it will experience a reduced nuclear attraction and can be removed easily than the Li 2s electron.
Answer:
The value of dissociation constant of the monoprotic acid is
.
Explanation:
The pH of the solution = 2.46
![pH=-\log[H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%5BH%5E%2B%5D)
![2.46=-\log[H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2.46%3D-%5Clog%5BH%5E%2B%5D)
![[H^+]=0.003467 M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D0.003467%20M)

Initially
0.0144 0 0
At equilibrium
(0.0144-x) x x
The expression if an dissociation constant is given by :
![K_a=\frac{[A^-][H^+]}{[HA]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_a%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5E-%5D%5BH%5E%2B%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D)

![x=[H^+]=0.003467 M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D0.003467%20M)


The value of dissociation constant of the monoprotic acid is
.
Answer: X is a Solid; Y is a Gas
Explanation:
There are three (3) states of matter. They are: Solid, Liquid and Gases.
Substance X and Y, belong to the states of matter.
A Solid is a substance that retains its SIZE and SHAPE without need of a container (as opposed to a liquid or gas).
Thus, it will most likely be concluded that: substance X is a Solid; while Y is a Gas
<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Atomic mass of an atom is defined as the sum of number of neutrons and number of protons that are present in an atom. It is represented as 'A'.
Atomic number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
We are given:
Number of protons = 6
Number of neutrons = 6
Number of electrons = 6
Atomic mass = 6 + 6 = 12
Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
