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

Chemistry

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.

Answer:

NH₄Cl  ------> NH₃  +  HCl

Explanation:

Ammonium Chloride =(NH₄Cl

Ammonia = NH₃

Hydrochloric Acid = HCl

NH₄Cl  ------> NH₃  +  HCl

In decomposition reaction, the reactant is breaking down into smaller parts. In this case, all of the coefficients are 1. The reaction is already balanced.

How can you turn mechanical energy into electrical energy
Ghella [55]

Answer:

In a turbine generator, a moving fluid—water, steam, combustion gases, or air—pushes a series of blades mounted on a rotor shaft. The force of the fluid on the blades spins/rotates the rotor shaft of a generator. The generator, in turn, converts the mechanical (kinetic) energy of the rotor to electrical energy.

Use molecular structure and intermolecular bonding to describe why bromine has a lower boiling point than water
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Bromine mollecules are held together by van der waals forces while a water molecule constitutes both van der waals forces and hydrogen bomnding

Explanation:

This makes the water molecule recquire more heat energy to break the bond thus a higher boiling point while bromine structure requires just litttle heat energy

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: The squirrel's balloon will be 0.86 L

Explanation:

To calculate the new volume, we use the equation given by Boyle's law. This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.

The equation given by this law is:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1\text{ and }V_1 are initial pressure and volume.

P_2\text{ and }V_2 are final pressure and volume.

We are given:

P_1=1.0atm\\V_1=3L\\P_2=3.5atm\\V_2=?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.0\times 3L=3.5\times V_2\\\\V_2=0.86

Thus the squirrel's balloon will be 0.86 L
