Chlorine is a halogen and all halogens and oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen are diatomics
kirza4 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Neon is in group 8/0, which means that it has a full outer shell. Atoms react to get a full outer shell but as neon already has a full outer shell, it doesn't react and stays monatomic.

However, chlorine is in group 7, so it needs 1 more electron to complete its outer shell, two chlorine atom share one electron each with each other so they have full outer shells. This is why chlorine is diatomic.

At 35 C, a sample of gas has a volume of 256 ml and a pressure of 720.torr. What would the volume
Natalija [7]

Answer: Volume would be 196.15 mL if the temperature were changed to 22^{o}C and the pressure to 1.25 atmospheres.

Explanation:

Given: T_{1} = 35^{o}C = (35 + 273) K = 308 K,     V_{1} = 256 mL,    

P_{1} = 720 torr (1 torr = 0.00131579 atm) = 0.947368 atm

T_{1} = 22^{o}C = (22 + 273) K = 295 K,       P_{2} = 1.25 atm  

Formula used to calculate volume is as follows.

\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{1 atm \times 256 mL}{308 K} = \frac{1.25 atm \times V_{2}}{295 K}\\V_{2} = 196.15 mL

Thus, we can conclude that the volume would be 196.15 mL if the temperature were changed to 22^{o}C and the pressure to 1.25 atmospheres.

What could be the fourth quantum number of a 1s^2 electron be?
Bumek [7]

The forth quantum number is Spin quantum number and the value of Spin Quantum Number of 1s² will be +1/2. Therefore, the correct option is (B) option

<h3>What is Spin Quantum Number ?</h3>

It describes the orientation of the electron spin (rotation) in space.

In the given case of 1s² configuration,

since, the Quantum numbers are known as:

  • Principal quantum number (n) which cannot be zero.

       The allowed values of n are therefore 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.

  • Angular quantum number (l) is able to be any integer between 0  

       and n-1.

       Therefore, for example, If n = 1, l will be 0,

                                                If n = 2, l can be either 0 or 1.

  • Magnetic quantum number (m) is able to be any integer between -l and +l.    

       Therefore, for example, If l = 3, m can be either -3 to +3.

  • Spin Quantum Number (ms): Ms = +½ or -½  accounts for the orientation of the spin axis of an electron as it is able to spin in only one of two directions.

Thus, since the fourth quantum number is Ms, spin, we infer that the answer is (B) option ie, Ms = +1/2 because it represents the positive spin on 1s².
