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).

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The elements in Group I of the periodic table are called alkali metals. They are called alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali solutions. These metals are very reactive; hence they have to be stored under oil to protect them from corrosion by air and waterwaterwater

Use the information below to explain why the atomic radius decreases down a group.
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Detail is given below

Explanation:

Atomic radii trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

In A we can see that there is one positive charge and force of attraction is 2.30×10⁻⁸ N and distance is 0.10 nm

In B we can see that negative charge is further away from nucleus because of greater distance thus force of attraction will be less. 0.58×10⁻⁸ N

In C this distance further increases and force also goes in decreasing 0.26×10⁻⁸ N.
