1. How does the period (row) in which an element is located relate to the number of shells that contain electrons?

1 answer:

4 0

1. The period number tells us about the number of shells in an element(for example Na located in third period has three electron shells)

2. Group number tells us the amount of electrons present in the valence shell thus also tells us about the ionic charges they form

3. They all have a stable electronic configuration with complete valence shells hence they also don't form ions.

Which of these is an isoelectronic series? question 7 options: 1) na+, k+, rb+, cs+ 2) k+, ca2+, ar, s2– 3) na+, mg2+, s2–, cl–

-BARSIC- [3]

An isoelectronic series is where all of the ions listed have the same number of electrons in their atoms. When an atom has net charge of zero or neutral, it has equal number of protons and electrons. Hence, it means that the atomic number = no. of protons = no. of electrons. If these atoms become ions, they gain a net charge of + or -. Positive ions are cations. This means that they readily GIVE UP electrons, whereas negative ions (anions) readily ACCEPT electrons. So, to know which of these are isoelectronic, let's establish first the number of electron in a neutral atom from the periodic table:

Na=11; K=19; Rb=37; Cs = 55; Ca=20; S=16; Mg=12; Li=3; Be=4; B=5; C=6, Ar = 18

A. Na⁺: 11-1 = 10 electrons
K⁺: 19 - 1 = 18 electrons
Rb⁺: 37-1 = 36 electrons

B. K⁺: 19 - 1 = 18 electrons
Ca²⁺: 20 - 2 = 18 electrons
Ar: 18 electrons
S²⁻: 16 +2 = 18 electrons

C. Na⁺: 11-1 = 10 electrons
Mg²⁺: 12 - 2 = 10 electrons
S²⁻: 16 +2 = 18 electrons

D. Li=3 electrons
Be=4 electrons
B=5 electrons
C=6 electrons

The answer is letter B.

Write the balanced standard combustion reaction for the c5h7on3s2

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

4C5H7ON3S2 + 25O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + 4S2

Explanation:

When C5H7ON3S2 under go Combustion, the following are obtained as illustrated below:

C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + N2 + S2

Now, let us balance the equation. This is illustrated below:

C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + N2 + S2

There are 3 atoms of N on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of C5H7ON3S2 and 6 in front of N2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + 6N2 + S2

There are 20 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 20 in front of CO2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> 20CO2 + H2O + 6N2 + S2

There are 28 atoms on H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 14 in front of H2O as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + S2

There are 8 atoms of S on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of S2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + 4S2

Now, there are a total of 54 atoms of O on the right side and 6 atoms on the left side

It can be balance by putting 25 in front of O2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + 25O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + 4S2

Now, we can see that the equation is balanced.
