Which statement is NOT TRUE about elements in group 16?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Airida [17]3 years ago
4 0
The most suitable answer is C becuase they would gain two elctrons to atain that stable OCTET thus becoming a anion with a charge of -2 and by virtue oxidation states of -2.  There is however an exception with oxygen in two cases. But I still remain that the best answer would be C

Question 1 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
Nookie1986 [14]

The scientific models are used because they allow scientists to make predictions and make it easier for scientists to avoid using data. option A and C is correct.

<h3>What are scientific models?</h3>

The scientific models are those which is given by scientists to allow them to make prediction about anything particular on which they are working or making research for it some examples are plum pudding model for an atom and bohr's model of an atom etc.

The biggest advantage is that scientists do not have to check the given data which are written into books they can perform their experiment and can conclude the data by performing experiment.

Therefore, scientific models are used because they allow scientists to make predictions and make it easier for scientists to avoid using data. option A and C is correct.

Which two particles are always found in equal number in neutral atoms
AysviL [449]

Answer:

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral.

I hope it helps.

Have a great day.

Can someone please help with chemistry? Lead has a density of 10.5 g/cm^3. What is the diameter of a lead ball that has a mass o
adelina 88 [10]
Density = Mass / Volume

10.5 = 500 / x

10.5x = 500

x = 50 cm^3 (1 sig fig) volume of the sphere

Volume of a sphere = 4/3 pi r^2

pi = 3.14 r = radius

50 = 4/3 pi r^3

50•3/4 = pi r^3

37.5 = pi r^3

37.5/pi = r^3

11.9 = r^3

cube root(11.9) = r

2.3 = r

Diameter = 2•radius

Diameter = 2 • 2.3

Diameter = 5 cm (1 sig fig) diameter

Use the information below to explain why the atomic radius decreases down a group.
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Detail is given below

Explanation:

Atomic radii trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

In A we can see that there is one positive charge and force of attraction is 2.30×10⁻⁸ N and distance is 0.10 nm

In B we can see that negative charge is further away from nucleus because of greater distance thus force of attraction will be less. 0.58×10⁻⁸ N

In C this distance further increases and force also goes in decreasing 0.26×10⁻⁸ N.
