28. Which statement is INCORRECT regarding radiation?

Chemistry

Answer:

Radiation is energy. It can come from unstable atoms that undergo radioactive decay, or it can be produced by machines. Radiation travels from its source in the form of energy waves or energized particles. There are different forms of radiation and they have different properties and effects.

Non-Ionizing and Ionizing Radiation

There are two kinds of radiation: non-ionizing radiation and ionizing radiation.

Non-ionizing radiation has enough energy to move atoms in a molecule around or cause them to vibrate, but not enough to remove electrons from atoms. Examples of this kind of radiation are radio waves, visible light and microwaves.

Ionizing radiation has so much energy it can knock electrons out of atoms, a process known as ionization. Ionizing radiation can affect the atoms in living things, so it poses a health risk by damaging tissue and DNA in genes. Ionizing radiation comes from x-ray machines, cosmic particles from outer space and radioactive elements. Radioactive elements emit ionizing radiation as their atoms undergo radioactive decay.

Answer:

See below!

Explanation:

A.  The picture of the graph is attached.  You can tell the amount of protons in an element by looking at the periodic table.  The elements are ordered by the number of protons in an element.

B.  Carbon and silicon are at the peaks of the chart.  The peak is the highest point in a graph.

C.  The elements belong to the non-metal group.

D.  The halogens are non-metals, and their vapors are colorless.

The halogens are toxic to humans.

Halogen molecules are made of two atoms; they are diatomic.

Halogens react with non-metals to form crystalline compounds that are salts.

The halogens get less reactive going down the group on the periodic table.

Halogens can bleach vegetable dyes and kill bacteria.

E.  The picture of the table is attached.  To figure which numbers to put where, you need to pay attention to the other numbers.  The halogens follow a trend with each of these properties.  You have to put in the numbers that fit in among the other numbers.

An element with an electronegativity of 0.9 bonds with an element with an electronegativity of 3.1.. Which phase best describes
eduard
Electronegativity is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself. When a chlorine atom covalently bonds to another chlorine atom, the shared electron pair is shared equally. The electron density that comprises the covalent bond is located halfway between the two atoms.

But what happens when the two atoms involved in a bond aren’t the same? The two positively charged nuclei have different attractive forces; they “pull” on the electron pair to different degrees. The end result is that the electron pair is shifted toward one atom.

ATTRACTING ELECTRONS: ELECTRONEGATIVITIES

The larger the value of the electronegativity, the greater the atom’s strength to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The following figure shows the electronegativity values of the various elements below each element symbol on the periodic table. With a few exceptions, the electronegativities increase, from left to right, in a period, and decrease, from top to bottom, in a family.

Electronegativities give information about what will happen to the bonding pair of electrons when two atoms bond. A bond in which the electron pair is equally shared is called a nonpolar covalent bond. You have a nonpolar covalent bond anytime the two atoms involved in the bond are the same or anytime the difference in the electronegativities of the atoms involved in the bond is very small.



Now consider hydrogen chloride (HCl). Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0. The electron pair that is bonding HCl together shifts toward the chlorine atom because it has a larger electronegativity value.

A bond in which the electron pair is shifted toward one atom is called a polar covalent bond. The atom that more strongly attracts the bonding electron pair is slightly more negative, while the other atom is slightly more positive. The larger the difference in the electronegativities, the more negative and positive the atoms become.

Now look at a case in which the two atoms have extremely different electronegativities — sodium chloride (NaCl). Sodium chloride is ionically bonded. An electron has transferred from sodium to chlorine. Sodium has an electronegativity of 1.0, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0.

That’s an electronegativity difference of 2.0 (3.0 – 1.0), making the bond between the two atoms very, very polar. In fact, the electronegativity difference provides another way of predicting the kind of bond that will form between two elements, as indicated in the following table.

How does maximum boiling azeotropic mixture is separated using fractional distillation?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

By heating the mixture to maximum boiling point and then the solution is distilled at a constant temperature without having a change in composition.

Explanation:

An azeotropic mixture is also called a constant boiling mixture and it is a mixture of two or more liquids whose proportions cannot be altered by simple distillation due to the fact that when an azeotropic mixture is boiled, the vapor has the same proportions of constituents as the unboiled mixture.

Now, maximum boiling azeotropic mixture are the solutions with negative deviations that have an intermediate composition  for which the vapor pressure of the solution is minimum and as a result, the boiling point is maximum. At that point, the solution will distill at a constant temperature without having a change in composition.
