Does beryllium (Be) or Sodium (Na) have the same electron arrangement as Magnesium (Mg)? Why?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Finger [1]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Na has the most similar configuration.

Explanation:

Na electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹ or [Ne] 3s₁

Mg electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s² or [Ne] 3s²

Be electron configuration: 1s²2s² or [He] 2s²

This is because Na and Mg are right next to each other in the same period (horizontal).

How does the kinetic-molecular theory explain the following properties of liquids:
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

"Kinetic energy of the gas is more as compared to that of the liquids. But when compare it to the solid, kinetic energy of liquid is more."

Explanation:

a) Relatively high density : This happens as a result of the tight or packed or can be say close arrangement of the particles.

b) Ability to diffuse : As we know that in gases the constant and the random motion of the particles of the liquid leads to diffusion. But it is very slow as compared to the gases and also porque liquid particles are close together.

c) Ability to evaporate:This happens as a result of the molecules of the liquid having different kinetic energies with particles having higher than that of the average energies that move faster.

Explain your thoughts on whether or not using solely IR is a good method to make positive IDs of chemicals.
Fed [463]

Answer:

No, IR should not soely be used to identify molecules

Explanation:

IR is a method that identifies the functional groups in a molecule by deducing the frequency of stretching and vibration of bonds. Each peculiar type of bond has a frequency for the vibration of each bond represented on the IR spectrum.

However, one method is never enough to identify a compound. A combination of methods must always be used to clear up ambiguities arising from overlapping IR frequencies. Also,  interpretation of the nuanced peaks of the fingerprint region in IR spectra is quite challenging and only gives a fair idea of the functional groups present in the compound.

Therefore other methods such as NMR, UV-VISIBLE etc should also be involved in the identification of compounds.
