How did knowing the number of valence electrons in one

Chemistry

lana66690 [7]2 years ago

Answer:

All elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons. This made it possible to compare the valence of the alien elements to the valence of elements from our periodic table, and match the alien elements to the correct group. For example, our group 14 elements all have 4 valence electrons, so the alien element with 4 valence electrons had to be part of group 14 also.

Explanation:

Knowing the number of valence electrons in one of the alien elements helps in identifying it because the number of valence electrons can help categorize the alien element. Similar elements have the same valence electrons and knowing the category of the element can help further analyze the element.

Calculate the percent ionic, the percent covalent, and the bond length (in picometers) of a chemical bond between phosphorus and
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

4 percent ionic, 96 percent covalent, 222 pm

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Phosphorus:

Atomic radius = 109 pm

Covalent radius = 106 pm

Ionic radius = 212 pm

Electronegativity of phosphorus = 2.19  

Selenium:

Atomic radius = 122 pm

Covalent radius = 116 pm

Ionic radius = 198 pm

Electronegativity of selenium= 2.55  

The percentage ionic character of the chemical bond between phosphorus and selenium is given by the relation;

Using Pauling's alternative electronegativity difference method, we have;

\% \, Ionic \ Character = \left [18\times (\bigtriangleup E.N.)^{1.4}  \right ] \%

Where:

Δ E.N. = Change in electronegativity = 2.55 - 2.19 = 0.36

Therefore;

\% \, Ionic \ Character = \left [18\times (0.36)^{1.4}  \right ] \% = 4.3 \%

Hence the percentage ionic character = 4.3% ≈ 4%

the percentage covalent character = (100 - 4.3)% = 95.7% ≈ 96%

The bond length for the covalent bond is found adding the covalent radii of both atoms as follows;

The bond length for the covalent bond = 106 pm + 116 pm = 222 pm.

The correct option is therefore, 4 percent ionic, 96 percent covalent, 222 pm.
