Why does electronegativity decrease from right to left within a period?

Chemistry

1 answer:

Firlakuza [10]2 years ago

4 0

Explanation:

so, as you move down a group on the periodic table, the electronegativity of an element decreases because the increased number of energy levels puts the outer electrons very far away from the pull of the nucleus. electronegativity increases as you move from left to right across a period on the periodic table.

A chemist prepares a solution of copper(II) sulfate CuSO4 by measuring out 31.μmol of copper(II) sulfate into a 150.mL volumetri

baherus [9]

Answer:

The concentration of the copper (II) sulfate solution is 2.06 * 10^2 μmol/L or 2.06 * 10^2 μM

Explanation:

The concentration of a solution is the amount of solute dissolved in a given volume of solution. In this case, the concentration of the copper(II) sulfate solution in micromoles per liter (symbol ) is the number of micromoles of copper(II) sulfate dissolved in each liter of solution. To calculate the micromoles of copper(II) sulfate dissolved in each liter of solution you must divide the total micromoles of solute by the number of liters of solution.

Here's that idea written as a formula: c= n/V

where c stands for concentration, n stands for the total micromoles of copper (II) sulfate and V stands for the total volume of the solution.

You're not given the volume of the solution in liters, but rather in milliliters. You can convert milliliters to liters with a unit ratio: V= 150. mL * 10^-3 L/ 1 mL = 0.150 L

Next, plug in μmol and liters into the formula to divide the total micromoles of solute by the number of liters of solution: c= 31 μmol/0.150 L = 206.66 μmol/L

Convert this number into scientific notation: 2.06 * 10^2 μmol/L or 2.06 * 10^2 μM

Why do atoms share electrons in covalent bonds??

ra1l [238]

Atoms in covalent bonds do combine so as to be stable. As covalent bond consist non metals e.g O2 in this example each atom has vacance of 2 orbitals/ electrons so shairing electrons result their stability

Would you expect the wavelength of maximum absorbance for [Cu(NH3)4]2+ to be greater than or less than the wavelength of maximum

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Less

Explanation:

Since [Cu(NH3)4]2+ and [Cu(H2O)6]2+ are Octahedral Complexes the transitions between d-levels explain the majority of the absorbances seen in those chemical compounds. The difference in energy between d-levels is known as ΔOh (ligand-field splitting parameter) and it depends on several factors:

The nature of the ligand: A spectrochemical series is a list of ligands ordered on ligand strength. With a higher strength the ΔOh will be higher and thus it requires a higher energy light to make the transition.

The oxidation state of the metal: Higher oxidation states will strength the ΔOh because of the higher electrostatic attraction between the metal and the ligand

A partial spectrochemical series listing of ligands from small Δ to large Δ:

I− < Br− < S2− < Cl− < N3− < F−< NCO− < OH− < C2O42− < H2O < CH3CN < NH3 < NO2− < PPh3 < CN− < CO

Then NH3 makes the ΔOh higher and it requires a higher energy light to make the transition, which means a shorter wavelength.

What is the electron configuration for<br> 08<br> 16

Elis [28]

The electron configuration for Oxygen : [He] 2s²2p⁴

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Writing electron configurations starts from the lowest to the highest sub-shell energy level. There are 4 sub-shells in the shell of an atom, namely s, p, d, and f. The maximum number of electrons for each sub-shell is

• s: 2 electrons

• p: 6 electrons

• d: 10 electrons and

• f: 14 electrons

Charging electrons in the sub-shell uses the following sequence:

The element is Oxgen, with symbol O, and :

the atomic number=8=number of electron

the atomic mass=16

The electron configuration based on the number of electrons(for Oxygen=8), so the configuration :

$\tt _8^{16}O:1s^22s^22p^4$ or we can write with noble gas [He] 2s²2p⁴
