Answer:

5

Explanation:

Let us look at the values very closely. It is easy to see that the first to the fifth ionization energies of the element are closely related to each other. Recall that the ionization energy increases as the the number of electrons removed from the outermost shell of the atom increases. Hence E1<E2<E3......... The first five ionization energies suggest the removal of valence shell electrons.

However, the sixth and seventh ionization energies shows a jump, the ionization energy suddenly increases by a very high magnitude. This can not suggest the removal of a valence shell electron but the removal of inner or core electrons. Hence the answer.

For the following chemical equation.
kotegsom [21]

Sr is the limiting reactant.

Given the reaction equation;

2Sr + O2 (g) → 2SrO

2 moles of Sr reacts with 1 mole of O2

2 moles Sr will react with x mole of O2

x = 2 ×1/2

x = 1 mole of O2

Since we have more O2 than required, it is the reactant in excess, hence Sr is the limiting reactant.

Which of the following are strongly hydrogen bonded in the liquid phase? A) nitrilesB) esters C) secondary amides D) acid chlori
-Dominant- [34]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Chemical formula of a secondary amide is R'-CONH-R, where R and R' can be same of different alkyl or aryl groups. Here, the hydrogen atom of amide is attached to more electronegative oxygen atom of the C=O group.

Therefore, the hydrogen atom will be more strongly held by the electronegative oxygen atom. As a result, there will be  strongly hydrogen bonded in the liquid phase of secondary amide.

Whereas chemical formula of nitriles is RCN, ester is RCOOR' and acid chlorides are RCOCl. As no hydrogen bonding occurs in any of these compounds because hydrogen atom is not being attached to an electronegative atom.

Thus, we can conclude that secondary amides are strongly hydrogen bonded in the liquid phase.

How do CFC’s illustrate that technical advances can be a “double-edged” sword?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

CFC’s illustrate that technical advances can be a “double-edged” sword as CFC's were made for the advantages but soon or later it came as a disadvantage for environment.

CFC's was discovered with many advantages such as they are stable, non-corrosive, and replacement of harmful ammonia used in refrigerators  and air conditioning systems. But soon it is also discovered that CFC's are destroying  the upper atmosphere layer called ozone, which is a very big disadvantage for us. CFCs are major contributor  to global warming after carbon dioxide.

Hence, it proves that CFC’s shows how technological advancement can be “double-edged” sword.
