Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is accepted by a neutral atom forming a negative ion. Chlorine has the higher electron affinity because it readily accepts an electron to become more stable. On the other hand, sodium have to give up an electron to complete its valence shell.
Y : CCP : 4 atoms
X : tetrahedral voids would be 1/3 × 8 = 8/3
so formula would be Y12X8 or Y3X2 !!
Answer:
They all belong to the p block in the periodic table
Explanation:
Let us examine the electronic configuration of each element;
Oxygen - [He] 2s2 2p4
Silicon - [Ne] 3s2 3p2
Selenium - [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p4
A common thread that joins all the elements listed above is that they all belong to the p-block in the periodic table. They could be collectively referred to as p-block elements.
Between 90 and 95 degrees Farenheit
Answer:
As you go down a group on the periodic table, you get more electron shells and therefore a larger atomic radius.
