Why is it more difficult to remove an

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 :)

The element carbon exists in several different forms. Pure carbon can be found in the form of diamonds, coal, and the graphite i

UNO [17]

Answer:

B) All carbon atoms have 6 neutrons.

Explanation:

The false statement from the given choices is that all carbon atoms have 6 neutrons.

There is a phenomenon called isotopy in chemistry.

Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to the differences in the number of neutrons in their various nuclei.

These atoms of elements are called isotopes.
Carbon atoms generally have proton number of 6 which is the same as the atomic number.
As with all atoms, the mass number or atomic mass equals the number of protons and neutrons.

For the isotopes of carbon, their number of neutrons differs.

For example:

¹²₆C ¹³₆C ¹⁴₆C

The number of neutrons differs in the above isotopes.

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number;

¹²₆C , number of neutrons = 12 - 6 = 6

¹³₆C, number of neutrons = 13 - 6 = 7

¹⁴₆C, number of neutrons = 14 - 6 = 8

Therefore, based on the concept of isotopy, all carbon atoms do not have 6 neutrons.

Tin (II) fluoride, formerly found in many kinds of toothpaste, is formed in this reaction: Sn (s) + 2HF (g) ——> SnF2 (s) + H2

Readme [11.4K]

1.34 L of HF

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

Sn (s) + 2 HF (g) → SnF₂ (s) + H₂ (g)

First we calculate the number of moles of SnF₂:

number of moles = mass / molecular weight

number of moles of SnF₂ = 5 / 157 = 0.03 moles

From the chemical reaction we see that 1 mole of SnF₂ are produced from 2 moles of SnF₂. This will mean that 0.03 moles of SnF₂ are produced from 0.06 moles of HF.

Now at standard temperature and pressure (STP) we can use the following formula to calculate the volume of HF:

number of moles = volume / 22.4 (L/mole)

volume of HF = number of moles × 22.4

volume of HF = 0.06 × 22.4 = 1.34 L
