As a Ca atom undergoes oxidation to Ca2+, the number of neutrons in its nucleus

2 answers:

6 0

Oxidation refers to a change in electrons (In this case, loss of electrons). It has no impact on the number of neutrons, or for that matter on any sub-atomic particles in the nucleus. So the number of neutrons (3) remains the same

Answer:

Hence the correct answer is remains the same

Explanation:

As a Ca atom undergoes oxidation to Ca2+,as follows:

Ca --- Ca 2+ + 2e-

In the process of oxidation calcium loss 2 electron only there is no change in the number of protons as well neutrons therefore there is no change in the number of neutrons in its nucleus

Hence the correct answer is remains the same

Oxidation:

Oxidation is a process in which either 1 or all following changes occurs:

1. Gaining of oxygen atoms

2. Loss of electrons

3. Loss of hydrogen atom.

4. Increasing oxidation number.

Reduction:

Reduction is a process in which either 1 or all following changes occurs:

1. Loss of oxygen atoms

2. Gaining of electrons

3. Gaining of hydrogen atom.

4. Decreasing oxidation number.

If I add 475mL of water to 75.0mL of a 0.315M NaOH solution, what will the molarity of the diluted solution be?

pantera1 [17]

Answer is: <span>the molarity of the diluted solution 0,043 M.
</span>V(NaOH) = 75 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L = 0,075 L.
c(NaOH) = 0,315 M = 0,315 mol/L.
n(NaOH) = c(NaOH) · V(NaOH).
n(NaOH) = 0,075 L · 0,315 mol/L.
n(NaOH) = 0,023625 mol.
V(solution) = 0,475 L + 0,75 L.
c(solution) = 0,023625 mol ÷ 0,550 L.
c(solution) = 0,043 mol/L.

Examination of the first few successive ionization energies for a given element usually reveals a large jump between two ionizat

gladu [14]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Ionization energy refers to the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. Metals have lower ionization energy than non metals since ionization energy increases across a period.

One thing that we must have in mind is that it takes much more energy to remove an electron from an inner filled shell than it takes to remove an electron from an outermost incompletely filled shell.

Now let us consider the case of magnesium which has two outermost electrons. Between IE2 and IE3 we have now moved to an inner filled shell(IE3 refers to removal of electrons from the inner second shell) and a lot of energy is required to remove an electron from this inner filled shell, hence the jump.

For aluminium having three outermost electrons, there is a jump between IE3 and IE4 because IE4 deals with electron removal from a second inner filled shell and a lot of energy is involved in the process hence the jump.

Hence a jump occurs each time electrons are removed from an inner filled shell.
