Rank the effective nuclear charge Z* experienced by a valence electron in each of these atoms:

Chemistry
1 answer:
LekaFEV [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The atoms are ranked in decreasing order as follows:

Fluorine ---4

Carbon ----3

Boron ------2

Beryllium --1

Explanation:

Effective nuclear charge (Zeff) is defined as the difference between the actual nuclear charge (the atomic number, Z) and the shielding constant (S).

It is calculated by finding the atomic number and electronic configuration, attributing a shielding value to each electron, adding all the shielding values and using the formula:

                 Z eff = Z - S

Effective nuclear charges:

An atom of carbon: 3.25

An atom of fluorine: 5.20

An atom of beryllium: 1.95

An atom of boron: 2.60

In the quantum mechanical model, each allowed ____ has a precisely known energy, but the location of the electron
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Orbital

Explanation:

In Bohr's model, the planet model, it was thought that electrons were orbiting a nucleus just as planets are orbiting the sun. Over time, this model was proved to be inconsistent with the further findings, especially with the fact that electrons exhibited wave properties.

This lead to defining orbitals in terms of quantum mechanics. An orbital is defined as a space in which the probability of finding an electron is 95 %. Each allowed orbital has a precisely known energy, this is why we can calculate the energy needed to promote an electron to a higher orbital, as we know the difference in energies between the orbitals.

What does electric current measure?
9966 [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric current in a wire, where the charge carriers are electrons, is a measure of the quantity of charge passing any point of the wire per unit of time. ... Current is usually denoted by the symbol I. Ohm's law relates the current flowing through a conductor to the voltage V and resistance R; that is, V = IR.
