Why there is a dip in electronegativity for the elements Mn and Zn?

Chemistry
1 answer:
dmitriy555 [2]3 years ago
7 0
Among the transition metal elements, Manganese and Zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. The reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. Both Manganese and Zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. Although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. Hence,  the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened.

A gas has a volume of 10.0 liters at 373K and a pressure of 5.0atm, what volume will the gas occupy at STP?
zhannawk [14.2K]
Use ideal gas law PV=nRT
Convert 5.00 atm to kPa since units must be relative to gas constant (r).
To do this multiply 5 by 101.03 (1 atm=101.3kPa)
Now plug in (506.5kPa)(10.0L)=n(8.31 L•atm/mol•K)(373K)
Solve for n (moles) to get approximately 1.634 mol. Now use dimensional analysis (1.634mol/1)(22.4L/1mol) = 36.6L
