Answer:

The exceptions to the periodic trends in ionization energy are the first ionization energy of beryllium is higher than that of boron and the first ionization energy of nitrogen is also higher than that of oxygen.

Explanation:

Taking a close look at the figure of first ionization energies, it clearly shows that the first ionization energy of beryllium is higher than that of boron and the first ionization energy of nitrogen is also higher than that of oxygen.

This is as a result of Hund's rule and electron configuration. For example, the first ionization potential electron of beryllium is obtained from a 2s orbital while that of boron comes from a 2p electron. However, for oxygen and nitrogen, their electrons are obtained from 2p orbitals. While spin is uniform for all 2p electrons of nitrogen, it is different for oxygen.

What is the mass of 8.23 x 10^23 atoms of Ag

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf Approximately \ 147 \ g\ Ag}}$

Explanation:

Convert Atoms to Moles

The first step is to convert atoms to moles. 1 mole of every substance has the same number of particles: 6.022 ×10²³ or Avogadro's Number. The type of particle can be different, in this case it is atoms of silver. Let's create a ratio using this information.

$\frac{6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ Ag}{1 \ mol \ Ag}$

We are trying to find the mass of 8.23 ×10²³ silver atoms, so we multiply by that number.

$8.23 *10^{23} \ atoms \ Ag *\frac{6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ Ag}{1 \ mol \ Ag}$

Flip the ratio so the atoms of silver cancel. The ratio is equivalent, but places the other value with units "atoms Ag" in the denominator.

$8.23 *10^{23} \ atoms \ Ag *\frac{1 \ mol \ Ag}{6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ Ag}$

$8.23 *10^{23} *\frac{1 \ mol \ Ag}{6.022*10^{23} }$

Condense into one fraction.

$\frac{8.23 *10^{23} }{6.022*10^{23} } \ mol \ Ag$

$1.366655596 \ mol \ Ag$

Convert Moles to Grams

The next step is to convert the moles to grams. This uses the molar mass, which is equivalent to the atomic mass on the Periodic Table, but the units are grams per mole.
