Explain surface tension and capillary action

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]3 years ago
4 0

Adhesion of water to the surface of a material will cause an upward force on the liquid. The surface tension acts to hold the surface intact. Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the surface material is stronger than the cohesive forces between the water molecules.

Table salt is a refined salt containing about 97 to 99% sodium Chloride iodized salt containing potassium iodide is widely avail
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. It is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion. Both atoms are bonded together electrostatic attraction occur between anion and cations.

Sodium atom have one valance electron by losing this one valance electron sodium atom get the complete octet. Chlorine atom has seven valance electrons and needed to lose seven valance electrons or to get one electron and thus complete the octet. It is very easy for chlorine atom to get one electrons instead of losing all seven electron. Thus when it react with sodium it gain the valance electron of sodium and form ionic compound.

That's why only one atom of  sodium combine with one atom chlorine.

Identify the blocks and groups of elements in the periodic table​
djyliett [7]

Explanation:

The periodic table is a table that arranges elements based on their atomic numbers into groups and periods.

The groups are the vertical arrangement of elements. All elements in a group share similar chemical properties because they have the same number of elements in their valence shell. The periodic table groups are:

               Group                             Other names

              1A or 1                               Alkali metals

              IIA or 2                              Alkaline earth metals

             IIIA or 3                            Boron family

             VIA or 6                             Chalcogens

            VIIA or 17                            Halogens

             O-18                                  Inert elements

             IIIB-IIB                              Transition elements

There are 18 vertical columns divided into 8 tall groups or main groups which are 1A to O. The short groups or subgroups are from numerals 1B to VIII.

The periodic table can be divided into four blocks based on the type of sublevels their valence electrons occupy.

  • Group IA and IIA constitute the s-block
  • Group IIIA to O constitute the p-block
  • The transition elements makes up the d-block
  • The lanthanides and actinides makes up the f-block
