The first 92 elements of the periodic table are naturally occurring elements.
Explanation:
Elements that belong to same group contains same number of valence electrons. Hence, they tend to show similar chemical properties.
When we move across a period then number of electrons get added to the same shell. As a result, there will be no increase in size of elements.
Also, metals are the elements that belong to group 1, 2 and d-block elements are also known as metals. Metallic character of elements decreases when we move left to right in a periodic table.
As most reactive metals are placed on the left side of periodic table.
Since, size of elements increases on moving down the group. So, an element is able to easily lose its valence electrons because of less force of attraction between its nucleus and valence electrons.
As a result, there will be increase in reactivity of metals on moving down the group.
Thus, we can conclude that given sentences are as follows.
- Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
-
Elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells.
-
Metallic elements become less reactive as you move left to right in a period.
-
Metallic elements become more reactive as you move top to bottom in a group.
As long as the equation in question can be expressed as the sum of the three equations with known enthalpy change, its can be determined with the Hess's Law. The key is to find the appropriate coefficient for each of the given equations.
Let the three equations with given be denoted as (1), (2), (3), and the last equation (4). Let , , and be letters such that . This relationship shall hold for all chemicals involved.
There are three unknowns; it would thus take at least three equations to find their values. Species present on both sides of the equation would cancel out. Thus, let coefficients on the reactant side be positive and those on the product side be negative, such that duplicates would cancel out arithmetically. For instance, shall resemble the number of left on the product side when the second equation is directly added to the third. Similarly
Thus
and
Verify this conclusion against a fourth species involved- for instance. Nitrogen isn't present in the net equation. The sum of its coefficient shall, therefore, be zero.
Apply the Hess's Law based on the coefficients to find the enthalpy change of the last equation.
