The element of group 1 hour reactive but those of group 18 are inert, why?

Chemistry

Answer:

The noble gases (Group 18) are located in the far right of the periodic table and were previously referred to as the "inert gases" due to the fact that their filled valence shells (octets) make them extremely nonreactive.

Aluminum is manufactured using electrolysis. Carbon electrodes are used. Describe the nature of the electrolyte.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The traditional electrolyte for aluminium electrolysis is based on molten cryolite (Na3AlF6), acting as solvent for the raw material, alumina (Al2O3).Metals are found in ores combined with other elements. Electrolysis can be used to extract a more reactive metal from the ore.

Aluminum can and is used as both anodes and cathodes in electrochemical cells, but there are some peculiarities to using it as an anode in aqueous solutions. As you note, aluminum forms a passivating oxide layer quite readily, even by exposure to atmosphere. In an aqueous solution, if the potential is high enough, OH− and O2− are generated at the anode, which can then react with the aluminum to produce aluminum oxide. Al^3+ can also be generated directly. The electric field will draw the anions through the growing aluminum oxide layer towards the aluminum surface and the Al^3+ towards the solution, making the oxide layer grow both away from the electrode surface and into the surface of the electrode. In this way, coatings thicker than the normal passivation in air can be produced. However, aluminum oxide is a good electrical insulator, thus if a dense non-porous layer is grown, it will become impossible to pass current through it and growth will stop, leaving a relatively thin oxide layer (this is how the dielectric layers in electrolytic capacitors are made). This is the normal behaviour in aqueous solutions at near-neutral pH (5–7).

However, if a thick aluminum oxide layer is desired (e.g. to produce coatings on aluminum parts for dying or durability), maintaining porosity is necessary to avoid completely blocking access to the surface. One technique that is commonly used is using a low pH solution, which tends to redissolve some of the oxide and neutralize some of the formed OH−, leaving pores in the oxide layer through which the ions can travel and continue to react. These pores also give a good structure to retain dyes or lubricants, but generally need to be sealed after to protect against corrosion.

antimony has two naturally occuring isotopes, sb121sb121 and sb123sb123 . sb121sb121 has an atomic mass of 120.9038 u120.9038 u

Luda [366]

Considering the definition of atomic mass, isotopes and atomic mass of an element, sb121 has a percent natural abundance of 0.5726 or 57.26% and sb123 has a percent natural abundance of 0.4284 or 42.84%.

<h3>Definition of atomic mass</h3>

The atomic mass is obtained by adding the number of protons and neutrons in a given nucleus of a chemical element.

<h3>Definition of isotope</h3>

Isotopes are the chemical elements in which atomic numbers are the same, but the number of neutrons is different.

<h3>Definition of atomic mass</h3>

The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average mass of its natural isotopes.

This is, the atomic masses of elements are usually calculated as the weighted average of the masses of the different isotopes of each element, considering the relative abundance of each of them.

<h3>Percent natural abundance of each isotope</h3>

In this case, antimony has two naturally occuring isotopes, sb121 and sb123. You know:

sb121 has an atomic mass of 120.9038 u.
sb121 has a percent natural abundance of x.
sb123 has an atomic mass of 122.9042 u.
sb123 has a percent natural abundance of 1 -x (or, what is the same, the abundance is 100% - x%, since both isotopes form 100% of the element.)
Antimony has an average atomic mass of 121.7601 u

The average mass of antimony is expressed as:

121.7601 u= 120.9038 u x + 122.9042 u× (1 -x)

Solving:

121.7601 u= 120.9038 u x + 122.9042 u - 122.9042 u x

121.7601 u - 122.9042 u= 120.9038 u x - 122.9042 u x

(-1.1441 u)= (-2.0014) x

(-1.1441 u)÷ (-2.0014)= x

So, 1 -x= 1- 0.5716 → <u><em>1-x= 0.4284 or 42.84%</em></u>

Finally, sb121 has a percent natural abundance of 0.5726 or 57.26% and sb123 has a percent natural abundance of 0.4284 or 42.84%.

Given two objects in space, the object with the ____ mass will orbit the object with the ____ mass.

Furkat [3]

Answer:

A. Smaller, Larger

Explanation:

Every object that has mass obeys the Law of Universal Gravitation. Everything attracts everything else. The same gravity that keeps us down on the ground keeps planets in orbit. However, in space, the smaller object will feel the pull of the larger one much more strongly, which is why it will begin to orbit it
