The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Classify each element. Note that another term for main group is representative, another term for semi-metal is metalloid, and the inner transition metals are also called the lanthanide and actinide series.

Hf, Am, In, Ta, As, Se, Rn

<u>Answer:</u>

Hafnium and tantalum are transition elements.

Americium is a inner transition element.

Indium, Selenium and Radon are main group elements.

Arsenic is a metalloid.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Main group elements are the elements which belong to s block and p block. They are also known as representative elements.

S-block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters s-sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is ns^{1-2}

P-block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters p-sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is np^{1-6}

Metalloids are defined as the elements which show intermediate properties between metals and non-metals. There are 7 metalloids in the periodic table. They are: Boron, Silicon, germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium and Polonium.

Transition elements are known as d-block elements. D block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters d sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is [(n-1)d^{1-10}ns^{0-2}]

Inner transition elements are known as (f block) elements. (F block) elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters (f subshell). The general electronic configuration of these elements is [(n-2)f^{1-14}(n-1)d^{0-1}ns^{2}]. They are also known as lanthanide and actinide series.

For the given elements:

  • <u>Option 1:</u> Hf

Hafnium is the 72nd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Xe]4f^{14}5d^26s^2

As, the last electron is entering the d subshell, it is a transition element.

  • <u>Option 2:</u> Am

Americium is the 95th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Rn]5f^{7}6d^07s^2

As, the last electron is entering the (f subshell), it is a inner transition element.

  • <u>Option 3:</u> In

Indium is the 49th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Kr]5s^25p^1

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

  • <u>Option 4:</u> Ta

Tantalum is the 73rd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Xe]4f^{14}5d^56s^2

As, the last electron is entering the d subshell, it is a transition element.

  • <u>Option 5:</u> As

Arsenic is the 33rd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ar]4s^24p^3

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element. It shows an intermediate property of metal and non-metal. Thus, it is a metalloid.

  • <u>Option 6:</u> Se

Selenium is the 34th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ar]4s^24p^4

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

  • <u>Option 7:</u> Rn

Radon is the 86th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}6s^26p^6

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

How many milliliters of nitrogen, N2, would have to be collected at 99.19 kPa and 28oC to have a sample containing 0.015 moles o
Semmy [17]

Answer:

378mL

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Pressure (P) = 99.19 kPa

Temperature (T) = 28°C

Number of mole (n) = 0.015 mole

Volume (V) =...?

Next, we shall convert the pressure and temperature to appropriate units. This is illustrated below:

For Pressure:

101.325 KPa = 1 atm

Therefore, 99.19 kPa = 99.19/101.325 = 0.98 atm

For Temperature:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

T(°C) = 28°C

T(K) = 28°C + 273 = 301K.

Next we shall determine the volume of N2. The volume of N2 can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as shown below:

PV = nRT

Pressure (P) = 0.98 atm

Temperature (T) = 301K

Number of mole (n) = 0.015 mole

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821atm.L/Kmol.

Volume (V) =...?

0.98 x V = 0.015 x 0.0821 x 301

Divide both side by 0.98

V = (0.015 x 0.0821 x 301) /0.98

V = 0.378 L

Finally, we shall convert 0.378 L to millilitres (mL). This is illustrated below:

1L = 1000mL

Therefore, 0.378L = 0.378 x 1000 = 378mL

Therefore, the volume of N2 collected is 378mL
