The answer is F-1since it is gaining therefore you can take this as electron affinity.

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an atom or element gains an electron then the atom acquires a negative charge whereas when an atom or element loses an electron then it acquires a positive charge.

for example, atomic number of fluorine is 9 and when it gains one electron then fluorine atom acquires a negative charge. Hence, neutral atom of fluorine changes into F^{-1} ion.

Thus, we can conclude that F^{-1} ion is formed when an atom of fluorine (F) gains one electron.

Neon is an inert gas and has the atomic number of 10. Which of the following correctly depicts its electron configuration? 1s22d
weeeeeb [17]
I think the answer is 1s²2s²2p⁶.  Since neon has an atomic number of 10, we know that it needs to have 10 electrons and since it is in the second row it cannot have any d electrons which makes the first option incorrect.  The second option is incorrect because the 2s⁴ can't exist since s orbitals can only hold 2 electrons.  The fourth option cannot be right because it again neon cannot have d electrons due to it being in the second row.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

The Kelvin temperature required for 0.0470 mol of helium gas to fill a balloon to 1.20 L under 0.878 atm is
4vir4ik [10]
From the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, we can rearrange the equation to solve for T given the other parameters.

T = PV/nR

where P = 0.878 atm, V = 1.20 L, n = 0.0470 moles, and R = 0.082057 L•atm/mol•K. Plugging in our values, we obtain the temperature in Kelvin:

T = (0.878 atm)(1.20 L)/(0.0470 mol)(0.082057 L•atm/mol•K)
T = 273 K

So, the second answer choice would be correct.

How many grams of NaOH are<br> needed to make 400. mL of<br> 1.50 M solution?
juin [17]

Answer:

24g of NaOH are required

Explanation:

Molarity, M, is an unit of concentration widely used in chemistry defined as the ratio between moles of solute (In this case, NaOH), and volume of solution in liters.

We can find the moles of NaOH and its mass with the volume and desired concentration as follows:

<em>Moles NaOH:</em>

400.0mL = 0.400L * (1.50mol / L) = 0.600 moles NaOH

<em>Mass NaOH -Molar mass: 40.0g/mol-:</em>

0.600 moles * (40.0g / mol) =

<h3>24g of NaOH are required</h3>
