Answer:

Tin

Explanation:

Tin is the chemical element which has the shortest name. It is a metallic element with the chemical symbol Sn which comes from the latin word stannum.

hope this helps!! :) :) :) (please give me brainliest!!)

What is different between an ionic bond and a covalent bond?

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ionic bonds result from transfer of electrons, whereas covalent bonds are formed by sharing. 2. Ionic bonds are electrostatic in nature, resulting from that attraction of positive and negative ions that result from the electron transfer process; charge separation between covalently bonded atoms is less extreme.

Nitrogen effuses through a pinhole 1.7 times as fast as another gaseous element under the same conditions. Estimate the other el

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

80.92, Krypton

Explanation:

What is effusion?

• It is a process where gas escapes through a pinhole (a very small hole) into a region of low pressure or vacuum

Graham's law of effusion of gas

• states that at a given constant temperature and pressure, the rate of effusion of gases is inversely proportional to the square root of their molar masses

$\boxed{ \frac{Rate_1}{Rate_2} = \sqrt{ \frac{M_2}{M_1} } }$

Calculations

Nitrogen exist as N₂ at room temperature, thus its molar mass is 2(14)= 28.

Let the rate and molar mass of unknown gas be Rate₂ and M₂ respectively.

Since N₂ effuses 1.7 times as fast as the unknown gas,

Rate₁= 1.7(Rate₂)

$\frac{Rate_1}{Rate_2} = 1.7$

$1. 7 = \sqrt{ \frac{M_2}{28} }$

Square both sides:

$2.89 = \frac{M_2}{28}$

Multiply both sides by 28:

2.89(28)= M₂

M₂= 80.92

Identity of gas

The molar mass of 80.92 lies between Bromine and Krypton. However since Bromine exist as Br₂, the value of it's molar mass would be 159.8 instead. Hence, Bromine is eliminated.

If the gas is a diatomic element, the atomic weight is 80.92 ÷2= 40.46. Thus, we are now considering if Argon could be its identity. However, Argon is a noble gas and will not exist as a diatomic element. Argon is therefore eliminated too.

Thus based on the above reasoning, its probable identity is Krypton.

Use this information to determine the number of valence electrons in the atoms. Which of the following correctly compares the st

vlabodo [156]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

The table compares the number of electrons in two unknown neutral atoms.

Comparison of Electrons

Atom Number of Electrons

A 9

D 11

Use this information to determine the number of valence electrons in the atoms. Which of the following correctly compares the stability of the two atoms?

A. Both are unreactive.

B. Both are highly reactive.

C. A is unreactive and D is reactive.

D. A is reactive and D is unreactive.

Answer:

B. Both are highly reactive.

Explanation:

Atomic number of electrons given is 9 and 11, it means that atom A is fluorine (F) and atom D is Sodium (Na).

In order to gain stability 8 electrons are required in outer shell. So atoms either gain or lose electrons in its outer shell to become more reactive.

Sodium has electronic configuration (2,8,1) and easily loses one electron and become (2, 8) which is highly reactive.

Fluorine has electronic configuration (2, 7) and can gain easily an electron and becomes reactive to form (2, 8).

So, both they both attain stability by losing and gaining only one electron.

Hence, they both are highly reactive and the correct option is B.
