In an ionic compound, the size of the ions affects the internuclear distance (the distance between the centers of adjacent ions)

, which affects lattice energy (a measure of the attractive force holding those ions together). Based on ion sizes, arrange these compounds by their expected lattice energy. Note that many sources define lattice energies as negative values. Please arrange by magnitude and ignore the sign. ∣∣lattice energy∣∣=absolute value of the lattice energy Na2S, K2S Cs2S Li2S

Answer:

Li2S> Na2S> K2S> CsS

Explanation:

The lattice energy of ionic species depends on the relative sizes of ions in the ionic compounds. As the size of ions increases, the lattice energy decreases and vice versa.

When the size of the anions are the same, the lattice energy now depends on the relative sizes of the cations. Therefore, since all the compounds are sulphides and the order of magnitude of ionic sizes is: Li^+ < Na^+ < K^+ < Cs^+.

Therefore, the order of decrease in lattice energy is; Li2S> Na2S> K2S> CsS

What is the formal charge on the hydrogen atom in hbr? use the periodic table as needed?
Westkost [7]
A covalent bond is formed between H and Br
The structure of HBr is as follows
H —Br
Formal charge for atoms are the charges for individual atoms in compounds.
Formal charge can be calculated as follows ;
Formal charge of atom = number of valence electrons -( number of bonds + number of lone pair electrons)
H has 1 valence electron, 1 bond and 0 number of lone pair electrons
Formal charge of H = 1 -1 -0 = 0
H has 0 charge

Paul [167]
Solving this chemistry is a little bit hard because the question didn't give some important detailed. 
So first, there are a couple problems with your question. 
We will just need to know which direction will it proceed to reach equilibrium.
Your expression for Kc (and Qc ) for the reaction should be: 
Kc = [C] / [A] [B]^2 
You have not provided a value for Kc, so a value of Qc tells you absolutely nothing. Qc is only valuable in relation to a numerical value for Kc. If Qc = Kc, then the reaction is at equilibrium. If Q < K, the reaction will form more products to reach equilibrium, and if Q > Kc, the reaction will form more reactants.

Which statement best defines specific heat?
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

D. The amount of heat required to increase the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1 °C.

Explanation:

Specific heat is defined as the amount of heat needed to raise a unit of mass of a compound by one degree on the temperature scale.

The gram is constituted as a unit of mass, and the degree Celsius as a unit of temperature, therefore, the specific heat can be defined as the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1 °C.
