A negative ion is (larger/smaller) than its parent atom. Why?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kay [80]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

When an atom attracts extra electrons it becomes a negative ion. The negative ion is larger than the original atom. The positive nucleus remains the same, with the same attractive force. However, this attractive force is now pulling on more electrons and therefore has less effect.

Or

Positive ions are formed by removing one or more electrons from the outermost region of the atom. The opposite is true of negative ions. When electrons are added to form an anion, the increased electron-electron repulsions cause the electrons to spread out more in space. Thus, anions are larger than their parent atoms.

Gwar [14]

Answer:

4 1/2

Explanation:

Use a ratio to find your answer

 4          6

-----  =  -------

 3           x

Cross multiply to solve for x.

4x = 18

x = 18/4

x = 4 2/4  which is the same as 4 1/2

Given following electron configurations, 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d9 and 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s14d10.
marusya05 [52]

Explanations:- Part 1: We could count the total number of electrons by looking at the electron configurations. Both of these electrons configurations have 47 electrons. If we look at the periodic table then 47 is the atomic number of silver. So, the name of the element is silver and its represented as Ag.

Part 2: As per the rule, Completely filled and half filled orbitals are more stable. First electron configuration has 9 electrons in 4d and we know that d is more stable if it has 5 electrons(half filled) or it has 10 electrons(full filled).

For stability reasons, one of the electron from 5s goes to 4d and for this reason the second electron configuration is found most often in nature for silver.

Few other examples are Cr and Cu.

What is the limiting reactant if 12 moles of p4 react with 15 moles of o2?.
brilliants [131]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

To determine limiting reactant divide mole quantities of reactants by the respective coefficient in the balanced equation. The smaller value is the limiting reactant.

    P₄      +     5O₂       => 2P₂O₅

12/1 = 12      15/5 = 3

O₂ is the limiting reactant. P₄ will be in excess when rxn stops.

The combustion reaction described in part (b) occurred in a closed room containing 5.56 10g of air
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Combustion reaction is given below,

C₂H₅OH(l) + 3O₂(g) ⇒ 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)

Provided that such a combustion has a normal enthalpy,

ΔH°rxn = -1270 kJ/mol

That would be 1 mol reacting to release of ethanol,

⇒ -1270 kJ of heat

Now,

0.383 Ethanol mol responds to release or unlock,

(c) Determine the final temperature of the air in the room after the combustion.

Given that :

specific heat c = 1.005 J/(g. °C)

m = 5.56 ×10⁴ g

Using the relation:

q = mcΔT

- 486.34 =  5.56 ×10⁴  × 1.005 × ΔT

ΔT= (486.34 × 1000 )/5.56×10⁴  × 1.005

ΔT= 836.88 °C

ΔT= T₂ - T₁

T₂ =  ΔT +  T₁

T₂ = 836.88 °C + 21.7°C

T₂ = 858.58 °C

Therefore, the final temperature of the air in the room after combustion is 858.58 °C
