Mumz [18]3 years ago

Answer:

soft, low melting , a poor electrical conductor

Explanation:

In a solid crystal of NH3; there exist a covalent bonding in between the Nitrogen and the hydrogen atoms. Thus the NH3 solid crystal is soft due as a result of covalent bonding. Covalent bonds are formed between two or more atoms having zero or very small electronegativity difference.

However in a covalent bond, a low temperature of heat is sufficient in melting  solid crystals of NH3.

SImilarly,in NH3 , the crystal structures , the crystal lattice of NH3 are fixed . Hence , the remain a poor conductor of electricity as they partially dissociate into ions in water.

Thus; A solid crystal of NH3 is soft,have a  low melting and a poor electrical conductor.

The VSEPR model was developed before any xenon compounds had been prepared. Thus, these compounds provided an excellent test of
Natalka [10]

The maximum amount of XeF4 that could be produced is 0.5 moles.

XeF4 = Xe (g) 2 F2 (g) (g)

Xe and F2 have a mole ratio of 1:2. Because of this, the reaction would be limited by F2 when there is 1 mole of Xe and 1 mole of F2.

<h3>What is mole ratio?</h3>

The mole ratio is the ratio of any two compounds' mole amounts that are present in a balanced chemical reaction.

A comparison of the ratios of the molecules required to accomplish the reaction is given by the balancing chemical equation.

A mole ratio is a conversion factor used in chemical reactions to link the mole quantities of any two compounds. A conversion factor's numbers are derived from the balanced chemical equation's coefficients.

Rank the following elements by effective nuclear charge, Zeff, for a valence electron. F LI Be B N
Stels [109]

Answer:

Rank in increasing order of effective nuclear charge:

  • Li < Be < B < N < F

Explanation:

This explains the meaning of effective nuclear charge, Zeff, how to determine it, and the calculations for a valence electron of each of the five given elements: F, Li, Be, B, and N.

<u>1) Effective nuclear charge definitions</u>

  • While the total positive charge of the atom nucleus (Z) is equal to the number of protons, the electrons farther away from the nucleus experience an effective nuclear charge (Zeff) less than the total nuclear charge, due to the fact that electrons in between the nucleus and the outer electrons partially cancel the atraction from the nucleus.

  • Such effect on on a valence electron is estimated as the atomic number less the number of electrons closer to the nucleus than the electron whose effective nuclear charge is being determined: Zeff = Z - S.

<u><em>2) Z eff for a F valence electron:</em></u>

  • F's atomic number: Z = 9
  • Total number of electrons: 9 (same numer of protons)
  • Period: 17 (search in the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons:  7 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 9 - 7 = 2
  • Zeff = Z - S = 9 - 2 = 7

<u><em>3) Z eff for a Li valence eletron:</em></u>

  • Li's atomic number: Z = 3
  • Total number of electrons: 3 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 1 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 1 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 3 - 1 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 3 - 2 = 1.

<em>4) Z eff for a Be valence eletron:</em>

  • Be's atomic number: Z = 4
  • Total number of electrons: 4 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 2 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 2 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 4 - 2 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 4 - 2 = 2

<u><em>5) Z eff for a B valence eletron:</em></u>

  • B's atomic number: Z = 5
  • Total number of electrons: 5 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 13 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 3 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 5 - 3 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 5 - 2 = 3

<u><em>6) Z eff for a N valence eletron:</em></u>

  • N's atomic number: Z = 7
  • Total number of electrons: 7 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 15 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 5 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 7 - 5 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 7 - 2 = 5

<u><em>7) Summary (order):</em></u>

  Atom          Zeff for a valence electron

  • F                   7
  • Li                   1
  • Be                 2
  • B                   3
  • N                   5

  • <u>Conclusion</u>: the order is Li < Be < B < N < F

Which statements correctly describe the decay rates of radioactive isotopes?
storchak [24]

Answer: b} The exact time when an individual atom will decay can be accurately predicted.

c} After each half-life, the amount of radioactive material is reduced by half.

Explanation:

All radioactive decay  follows first order kinetics.

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = time taken for decay process

a = initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process

Expression for calculating half life, which is the time taken by the half of the reactants to decompose is:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}
