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.

Give the o.N. Of each of the elements magnesium and oxygen in the reactants and in the products 2Mg + O2=2MgO
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

2Mg^0 + O_2^0\rightarrow2Mg^{2+}O^{2-}

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the rules for the oxidation states in chemical reactions, it is possible to realize that lone elements have 0 and since magnesium is in group 2A, it forms the cation Mg⁺² as it loses electrons and oxygen is in group 6A so it forms the anion O⁻²; therefore resulting oxidation numbers are:

2Mg^0 + O_2^0\rightarrow2Mg^{2+}O^{2-}

Best regards!

In the equation:
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

B) 16 g

Explanation:

  • 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

First we <u>convert 4 moles of O₂ into moles of H₂</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction</em>:

  • 4 mol O₂ * \frac{2molH_2}{1molO_2} = 8 mol H₂

Finally we <u>convert 8 moles of H₂ into grams</u>, using <em>its molar mass</em>:

  • 8 mol H₂ * 2 g/mol = 16 g

Thus, the correct answer is option B).

Consider the reaction.
Alex_Xolod [135]

Note the signs of equilibrium:-

  • Reaction don't procede forward or backward
  • Concentration of products and reactants remains same .

So

if

Concentration of A is 2M then concentration of B should be same .

So equilibrium constant K is 1

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail K=\dfrac{[Products]^a}{[Reactants]^b}

So

  • [B]=[A]^2
  • [B]=2^2
  • [B]=4M
