Why is there not a corresponding drop in ionization energies between Bi and Po in the sixth period as N and O?

Chemistry

Stels [109]3 years ago

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to the Journal of Chemical Education, Volume 80, No.8 (2003); "The first ionization energy of bismuth appears to be  anomalous......It has been claimed that spin– orbit coupling by the Russell–Saunders scheme would lower  the ground state of Bi+ ..."

However, the involvement of  d and f orbitals in Bi and Po implies that the outermost orbitals are poorly screened hence the drop between nitrogen and oxygen is not observed between Bi and Po.

The same argument could be extended to explain the reason why  there not a corresponding drop between Ba and Tl is the sixth period even though they are in the same group as Be and B.

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when heptane, C7H16(l) , burns in air.
Pavlova-9 [17]
Start with Unbalanced Equation and balance it, so...
C7H16+O2--->CO2+H2O
There are 7 C atoms on the left-hand side, so we need 7 C atoms on the right-hand side. Add a 7 in front of the CO2...7CO2+H2O on right side now.
We have fixed 16 H atoms on the left-hand side, so we need 16 H atoms on the right-hand side. Add an 8 in front of H2O to make 16 (8x2)...7CO2+8H2O on right side now.
There are 22 O atoms on the right-hand side: 14 from the CO2 and 8 from the H2O. Add an 11 in front of the O2 on the left side to make 22 (11x2).
Every formula now has a fixed coefficient. You should have a balanced equation of...
C7H16+11O2--->7CO2+8H2O

Most atoms have no net charge because they have
Ne4ueva [31]

Atoms have no electric charge because the protons and electrons "cancel out" each others charges. Neutrons have no charge. What is the atomic number of an element? The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus.

Hope this helps have a great day :)
