What is responsible for the larger size of an anion in comparison with the atom from which it is form?

Chemistry
1 answer:
GarryVolchara [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

electron-electron repulsion

Explanation:

When electrons add into valence shell of neutral elements, the element assumes a negative oxidation state. With this, the number of electrons having (-) charges will be larger than the number of protons having positive (+) charges. As a result, the extra electrons repel one another (i.e., like charges repel) and a larger radius is the result.  

In contrast, when cations are formed, electrons are removed from the valence level (oxidation) producing an element having a greater number of protons than electrons. The larger number of protons will function to attract the electron cloud with a greater force that results in a contraction of atomic radius and a smaller spherical volume than the neutral unionized element.    

To visualize, see attached chart that shows atomic and ionic radii before and after ionization of the elements.

What is the ph of a 0.0055 m ha (weak acid) solution that is 8.2% ionized?
Trava [24]
Answer is: pH value of weak is 3.35.
Chemical reaction (dissociation): HA(aq) → H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).
c(HA) = 0.0055 M.
α = 8.2% ÷ 100% = 0.082.
[H⁺] = c(HA) · α.
[H⁺] = 0.0055 M · 0.082.
[H⁺] = 0.000451 M.
pH = -log[H⁺].
pH = -log(0.000451 M).
pH = 3.35.
pH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity <span>an aqueous solution.</span>

What information is needed to determine the energy of an electron in a many-electron atom? a) n. b) l. c) ml. d)ms
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The correct answer is b.

Explanation:

The quantum number n specifies the energetic level of the orbital, the first level being the one with the least energy. As n increases, the probability of finding the electron near the nucleus decreases and the orbital energy increases.

In the case of atoms with more than one electron, the quantum number l also determines the sublevel of energy in which an orbital is found, within a certain energy level. The value of l is designated by the letters s, p, d, and f.

Have a nice day!

If, in a peptide chain, there were 85 amino acids each joined by peptide bonds, how many n-terminus groups would be present?
Crank
If, in a peptide chain, there were 85 amino acids each joined by peptide bonds, there would only be 1 N-terminus group that would be present. The N-terminus group is always the start of the chain of a amino acid chain or a protein or a polypeptide. It refers to the free amine group present that is located at the end part of the chain. So, that no matter how many amino acids in a chain there would always be only one N-terminus group.
