Explain why calcium (Ca) has a greater atomic radius than magnesium (Mg).

Chemistry
1 answer:
g100num [7]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Magnesium nucleus will attract the electrons more toward it and therefore, shrinking the size of the atom. Magnesium atom is smaller than Calcium atom because Calcium has more electron ( 20e− ) which will occupy more energy levels ( n=4 for Calcium versus n=3 for Magnesium)

How many atoms of oxygen are represented in 3Fe(NO3)2?
nexus9112 [7]
There are 18. In each molecule of Fe(NO3)2 there are 6 oxygen atoms because you have 2 nitrate (NO3) components which each contain 3 oxygen atoms. 2 x 3 = 6. Because you have 3 molecules of Fe(NO3)2, you need to multiply 6 by 3, which gives you 18 oxygen atoms.

What is the molar mass of a compound?
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The molar mass of a compound is The mass in grams of 1 mole of the compound (Option A)

Explanation:

Let's take ammonia as an example (NH3)

Mass of N = 14 g

Mass of H = 1 g

Molar mass of ammonia is Mass of N + (Mass of H).3

14 + 3 = 17 g/m

Ammonia is a compound that has 1 mol of N, plus 3 moles of H (see the formula)

The number of atoms in 1 mole of the compound --> This is Avogadro

Some versions of the periodic table show hydrogen at the top of Group 1A(1) and at the top of Group 7A(17). What properties of h
lawyer [7]

Answer:Hydrogen is placed such because it exhibits some similar characteristics of both group1 and group VII elements.

Explanation:

The reason why hydrogen is similar to group 1 metals:

#It has same valence electron and inorder achieve octet state it can lose that electron and forms H+ ion

#It acts as a good reducing agent similar to group1 metals

#It can also halides

Similarity to halogens:

#hydrogen can also gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration. It can combine with other non metals to form molecules with covalent bonding.

#It exists as diatomin molecule,H2

#Have the same electronegativity nature

#its reaction with other metal
