Why is it more difficult to remove an

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tom [10]3 years ago
3 0
In general, the further away an electron is from the nucleus, the easier it is for it to be expelled. In other words, ionization energy is a function of atomic radius; the larger the radius, the smaller the amount of energy required to remove the electron from the outer most orbital. For example, it would be far easier to take electrons away from the larger element of Ca (Calcium) than it would be from one where the electrons are held tighter to the nucleus, like Cl (Chlorine). Hope this helped a little not the exact answer though :)

Which pair of atoms has the highest electronegativity difference?
zavuch27 [327]
The best way to accurately determine the pair with the highest electronegativity difference is by using their corresponding electronegativity values. For the each of the choices, the difference is:

A. H-S = 2.5 - 2.1 = 0.4
B. H-Cl = 3 - 2.1 = 0.9
C. N-H = 3 - 2.1 = 0.9
D. O-H = 3.5 - 2.1 = 1.4
E. C-H = 2.5 - 2.1 = 0.4

As show, D. has the highest difference. Without looking at their values, you can also determine the pair with the highest difference by taking note of the trend of electronegativity on the periodic table. Electronegativity increases as you go right a group and up a period. This makes oxygen the most electronegative element among the other elements paired with hydrogen.

Despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided, you should be
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

G<0, spontanteous

H<0, from equation

S>0, gas to solid

Explanation:

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. Despite its name, silica gel is a solid. It is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of SiO2. Water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, so it acts as a desiccant. Despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided, you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. Predict the signs of ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS.

G<0, spontanteous

H<0, from equation

S>0, gas to solid

Is the following a redox reaction? Explain.<br> NH₃(aq) + HCl(aq) → NH₄Cl(aq)
jeyben [28]

The process is not a redox reaction.

The reaction between ammonia (NH_{3} )and hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce ammonium chloride (NH_{4} Cl) has modified the oxidation number of no atom in the reactants. As a base, ammonia interacts easily with hydrochloric acid to produce ammonium chloride salt. A neutralization reaction between an acid and a base is what the described process is, and it is NOT a redox reaction.

A reaction is referred to as a redox reaction if two or more reactants belonging to a single reaction exchange one or more electrons, i.e., one reactant releases one or more additional electrons while the other obtains one or additional electrons. The reacted substance that releases electrons is oxidized and becomes a reducing substance. A reduced oxidizing agent is the reactant that accepts electrons.

Why are the noble gases (group 18) inert?
dalvyx [7]

The noble gases are relatively unreactive because they have a stable octet of valence electrons.

Thus, they do not tend to undergo reactions in which they will gain or lose valence electrons,

However, <em>only He, Ne, and Ar are inert</em>. Kr and Xe combine with other highly reactive elements to form stable compounds.
