How might you explain the difference between the pH values of the 0.01 M HCl (pH = 1.1) and the 0.01 M HC2H3O2 (pH = 3.6)?

Answer: HCI dissociates more

Hope this helps :)

The difference is due to the degree of dissociation of the substances. HCl dissociates completely into ions when added to water, while this is not the case for HC₂H₃O₂; therefore, HCl has a lower pH.

How is the orbital configuration of neutral atoms related to the atoms chemical properties

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chemical properties of atoms relies solely on the number of electrons they contain, more particularly, the valence or outermost electrons in the orbit round the nucleus of an atom.

A neutral atom is one that has not gained or lost electron or even shared electrons with any other atom.

On close examination of how electrons are distributed in the orbits of an atom, we can know if an atom will gain or lose electrons in a reaction. This is very important in determining the chemical properties of an atom.

Lewis structure for nitrogen triiodide, NI(3)

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Lewis structure for nitrogen triiodide, $NI_3$ is given in the attachment.

Explanation:

Given:

The given compound is Nitrogen triiodide. In which 1 atom of Nitrogen combines with 3 atoms of Iodine. Both Nitrogen and Iodine are non-metals,So they form covalent bond by sharing of electrons.

The electron configuration of Nitrogen and Iodine is given below;

$N(7) = 1s^2,2s^22p^3\\I(53) = 1s^2,2s^22p^6,3s^23p^63d^{10},4s^24p^64d^{10},5s^25p^5$
