Group the following electron configurations in pairs that would represent similar chemical properties at their atoms;

marishachu [46]

Answer: Pairs are: (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

Explanation:

In a periodic table, elements are arranged in 18 vertical columns known as groups and 7 horizontal rows known as periods.

Elements arranged in a group show similar chemical properties because of the presence of same number of valence electrons.

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.

For the given options:

For a:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

For b:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^3$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

For c:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

For d:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^2$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

For e:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^6$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

For f:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

Electronic configuration of (a) and (d) will form a pair, (b) and (f) will form a pair, (c) and (e) will form a pair and will have similar chemical properties.

Hence, the pairs are: (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

How does the A Hreaction relate to the A He of molecules involved in a reaction?

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

B. ΔHreaction = ΔH°f reactants- ΔH°f products

Explanation:

Using Hess's law, it is possible to sum ΔH of several related reactions to find ΔH of a particular reaction.

Having in mind Hess's law, ΔH°f is defined as the change in enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of substance from its constituent elements (That is, pure elements, mono or diatomics, that have a ΔH° = 0).

For example, in ΔH°f of H₂O, the equation is:

H₂(g) + 1/2O₂(g) → H₂O(g)

The constituent elements with ΔH°f = 0 are H₂(g) and O₂(g).

Now, using Hess's law, you can sum the ΔH°f of substance in a reaction as, for example:

NaOH + HCl → H₂O + NaCl. ΔHr

The ΔH°f for each substance in the reaction is:

NaOH: Na + 1/2H₂ + 1/2O₂ → NaOH (1)

HCl: 1/2H₂ + 1/2Cl₂ → HCl (2)

H₂O: H₂ + 1/2O₂ → H₂O (3)

NaCl: Na + 1/2Cl₂ → NaCl (4)

The algebraic sum of (3) + (4) is -(ΔH°f reactants):

H₂ + 1/2O₂ + Na + 1/2Cl₂ → NaCl + H₂O ΔH°f reactants

This reaction - {(1)+(2)} ΔH°f products

NaOH + HCl → H₂O + NaCl.

ΔHr = ΔH°f reactants- ΔH°f products

In the example, we obtain this relationship that can be expanded for all reactions. Thus, right answer is:

<h3>B. ΔHreaction = ΔH°f reactants- ΔH°f products</h3>
