How does a scientist know where on the periodic table to put a newly discovered element?

Chemistry
1 answer:
deff fn [24]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Periodic table has vertical columns and horizontals rows.

Periods:  The horizontal rows are named as periods in a periodic table.In a period elements with same numbers of principle quantum number ('n') or total number of shells (energy levels) are present. For example : Sodium comes in third period which means that sodium has three shells in total.

Groups: The vertical columns are named as group in a periodic table. In a group elements with same number electrons in their outermost shell are present. For example: In group one all the elements Li, Na, K etc have same number of valence electrons in their outermost shell.

So, in order to place a newly discovered element in a periodic table scientist must have the information regarding the number of valence electrons and total number of shells present in an atom of that element. One can easily look for valence number of electrons and total number of shells from the atomic number of that particular element.

By the knowledge of valence electrons and total number of shells the scientist will able to decide the group number and period number for newly discovered element.

A prion is an infectious self-reproducing protein structure. true or false
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

True is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • The statement that a prion is an infectious, self-reproducing protein structure is true.
  • prion is an infectious particle and they do not have genetic material.
  • Prion present in the brain region that results in deadly neurodegenerative illnesses in humans and animals.
  • Prions are the self-producing proteinaceous infectious capable of transferring infection in the absence of the nucleic acids.
  • prions enter in the brain by an infection and they emerge from the variation in the gene that encodes the protein and once the prions present in the brain multiply by causing the benign proteins to refold into an abnormal form.

Muriatic acid, an industrial grade of concentrated HCl, is used to clean masonry and cement. Its concentration is 11.7 M.
harkovskaia [24]

The volume of Muriatic acid needed is 199ml.

<h3>What is concentration?</h3>
  • Concentration in chemistry is calculated by dividing a constituent's abundance by the mixture's total volume.
  • Mass concentration, molar concentration, number concentration, and volume concentration are four different categories of mathematical description.  
  • Any type of chemical mixture can be referred to by the term "concentration," however solutes and solvents in solutions are most usually mentioned.
  • There are different types of molar (quantity) concentration, including normal concentration and osmotic concentration.
<h3>How is concentration determined?</h3>
  • Subtract the solute's mass from the total volume of the solution. Using m as the solute's mass and V as the total volume of the solution, write out the equation C = m/V.
  • To get the concentration of your solution, divide the mass and volume figures you discovered and plug them in.
