Answer:

See the images below

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw a dot diagram of an atom, you locate the element in the Periodic Table and figure out how many valence electrons it has. Then you distribute the electrons as dots around the atom,

a. Silicon.

Si is in Group 14, so it has four valence electrons.

b. Xenon

Xenon is in Group 18, so it has eight valence electrons. We group them as four pairs around the xenon atom.

c. Calcium

Calcium is in Group 2, so it has two valence electrons. They are in a single subshell, so we write them as a pair on the calcium atom.

d. Water

Oxygen is in Group 16, so it has six valence electrons. The hydrogen atoms each contribute one electron, so there are eight valence electrons.

Chemists often use a dash to represent a pair of electrons in a bond.

Using the Bohr model, determine the energy in joules of the photon produced when an electron in a Li2+ ion moves from the orbit

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

1.64x10⁻¹⁸ J

Explanation:

By the Bohr model, the electrons surround the nucleus of the atom in shells or levels of energy. Each one has it's energy, and the electron doesn't fall to the nucleus because it can reach another level of energy, and then return to its level.

When the electrons go to another level, it absorbs energy, and then, when return, this energy is released, as a photon (generally as luminous energy). The value of the energy can be calculated by:

E = hc/λ

Where h is the Planck constant (6.626x10⁻³⁴ J.s), c is the light speed (3.00x10⁸ m/s), and λ is the wavelength of the photon.

The wavelength can be calculated by:

1/λ = R*(1/nf² - 1/ni²)

Where R is the Rydberg constant (1.097x10⁷ m⁻¹), nf is the final orbit, and ni the initial orbit. So:

1/λ = 1.097x10⁷ *(1/1² - 1/2²)

1/λ = 8.227x10⁶

λ = 1.215x10⁻⁷ m

So, the energy is:

E = (6.626x10⁻³⁴ * 3.00x10⁸)/(1.215x10⁻⁷)

E = 1.64x10⁻¹⁸ J

At a certain temperature, the solubility of n2 gas in water at 3.08 atm is 72.5 mg of n2 gas/100 g water . calculate the solubil

8090 [49]

According to Henry's law, solubility of solution is directly proportional to partial pressure thus,

$\frac{S_{1}}{P_{1}}=\frac{S_{2}}{P_{2}}$

Solubility at pressure 3.08 atm is 72.5/100, solubility at pressure 8 atm should be calculated.

Putting the values in equation:

$\frac{0.725}{3.08}=\frac{S_{2}}{8}$

On rearranging,

$S_{2}=\frac{0.725\times 8}{3.08}=1.88$

Therefore, solubility will be 1.88 mg of $N_{2}$ gas in 1 g of water or, 188 mg of tex]N_{2}[/tex] gas in 100 g of water.

Draw one representation that shows the intermolecular interactions between NH_3 and water and another that shows the intermolecu

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

NH3 has greater water solubility due to intermoleculate interactions

Explanation:

Hi:

If we represent the structures of NH3 and SbH3 we can see that they are similar to the naked eye, this is because N and Sb belong to the same group of the periodic table (group 15).

However, the electronegativity of N is greater than that of Sb. The NH3 molecule is polar and can form an intermolecular interaction called hydrogen bridge with water.

Sb is less electronegative than N. The SBH3 molecule forms an intermolecular interaction with water called dipole-induced dipole.

The zone with positive charge density of the water molecule (hydrogens) is oriented towards the zone with positive charge density of SBH3 (the pair of electrons not shared)

Stronger intermolecular junctions allow greater solubility of NH3 molecules.

What are octet and duplet rules ?

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

DUPLET RULE: The tendency of an atom to acquire an outer most shell of two electrons is called duplet rule. OCTET RULE: The tendency of an atom to acquire an outermost shell of eight electrons is called the octet rule.
