Explain why vanadium (radius=134 pm) and copper (radius=128 pm) have nearly identical atomic radii, even though the atomic numbe

r of copper is about 25% higher than that of vanadium.
What would you predict about the relative densities of these two metals? Look up the densities in a reference book, periodic table, or on the Web.
Are your predictions correct?

<span>There are few main factors affecting the atomic radii, the outermost electrons and the protons in the nucleus and also the shielding of the internal electrons. I would speculate that the difference in radii is given by the electron clouds since the electrons difference in these two elements is in the d orbital and both has at least 1 electron in the 4s (this 4s electron is the outermost electron in all the transition metals of this period). The atomic radio will be mostly dependent of these 4s electrons than in the d electrons. Besides that, you can see that increasing the atomic number will increase the number of protons in the nucleus decreasing the ratio of the atoms along a period. The Cu is an exception and will accommodate one of the 4s electrons in the p orbital.

</span><span>Regarding the density you can find the density of Cu = 8.96g/cm3 and vanadium = 6.0g/cm3. This also correlates with the idea that if these two atoms have similar volume and one has more mass (more protons;  density is the relationship between m/V), then a bigger mass for a similar volume will result in a bigger density.</span>

What is the ratio of lactic acid (Ka = 1.37x10-4) to lactate in a solution with pH =4.49?
Natasha2012 [34]
When Ka =1.37 x 10^-4 

∴Pka = - ㏒Ka

          = -㏒ 1.37 x 10^-4 
          
           = 3.86

According to H- H equation: 

when PH = PKA + ㏒[conjugate base / weak acid]

when the lactate is the conjugate base and lactic acid is the weak acid 

∴ PH = Pka +㏒[lactate] / [lactic acid]

so, by substitution:


4.49 = 3.86 + ㏒[lactate]/[lactic acid]

∴[lactate]/[lactic acid] = 4.3

∴ [lactic acid] / [lactate] = 1/4.3 
            
                                        = 0.23

Which of the following is an ionic compound?<br> A. N2O B. CO C. HCL D. Na2O
zzz [600]

Answer:

D. Na2O

Because we already know that sodium oxide is a binary ionic compound because it contains one metal cation and one non-metal anion.

For each ionic compound formula, identify the main group to which X belongs: (a) CaX2;
RideAnS [48]

For each ionic compound formula, identify the main group to group 17  (VIIA).

Group17 (VIIA) is the primary group to which X belongs in each ionic combination with the formula CaX2. X is undoubtedly an electron acceptor. It is capable of taking an electron. We determine that X must be in the oxidation state -1 by looking at the chemical formula. The neutral ionic compound's total number of oxidation states is zero. Since calcium has an oxidation state of +2, we must identify the element that contains an anion with an oxidation state of -1. The halogens have a strong propensity to pick up an electron and create an anion. X belongs to group17 (VIIA) as a result.
