Which of the following is the electron configuration of an electrically neutral alkaline earth metal

Chemistry
1 answer:
podryga [215]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Option d, 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2

Explanation:

Alkaline earth metals belong to group 2 of the periodic table. Elements belonging to group 2 are beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium and barium and radium.

Alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons and these two electrons are filled in outermost s sub shell.

General electronic configuration of alkaline earth metal: ns^2

In ionized state, number of electrons in s sub shell will not be 2.

Among the given, only 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2, has 2 electrons in s sub shell. So, it an electronic configuration of neutral alkaline earth metal.

Why are intermolecular forces generally much weaker than bonding forces?.
swat32

Explanation:

<em><u>Intermolecular forces:</u></em> These are the attractive or repulsive forces acting between two molecule in interaction.

The attractive forces between molecules are of several types based on the interaction between molecules also known as Vander wall forces.

<em><u>Bonding forces:</u></em> They are also attractive forces acting between two constituents (atom, ion, radicals etc) and stabilizes the constituent particles by loss of energy. The bond between any two species are formed by the overlapping of corresponding orbitals.

Whenever positive overlapping occurs between species, the formation of Bonding molecular orbital (BMO) takes place. and when electron enters into BMO it loses energy. Alternative form of explaining the concept is <em>Individual electron possess more energy than the electrons that paired or Bonded.</em>

Now coming to your question,

All the intermolecular forces are formed by weak attractive forces (vanderwall forces) which includes Ion-dipole forces, Ion-induced-dipole forces, Dipole-dipole forces, Dipole-induced-dipole forces, Hydrogen bonds & London forces.

All these forces are temporary and weak, and formed by the poles generated on molecule due to shift of electron, for e.g. Any molecule having more electron at one pole and less electron at another pole then that molecule start acting as charged body when that charged body comes in contact with opposite pole of another charged body the interaction takes place, since the electrons are dynamic and unsteady it's not possible that the pole will keep acting same as before. hence the intermolecular forces are generally weaker.

On the other side the Bonding electrons, are formed by the various strong overlapping such as between Head to Head overlapping leads to formation of Sigma bond which is the strongest bond takes alot of Energy to break & Lateral overlapping lead to formation of pi bond which is also stronger bond than that of Hydrogen bond.

Answer:

26.0 moles

Explanation:

Given the formula;

PV =nRT

P= pressure of the gas

V = volume of the gas

n = number of moles of the gas

R = gas constant

T = temperature

n = PV/RT

n = 125 * 5/0.082 * (20 + 273)

n = 625/24.026

n = 26.0 moles
