Answer:
Phosphorus trichloride, PCl₃ undergoes change in bonding and molecular force of attraction, causing it to be liquid at room temperature.
Explanation:
Unlike other chlorides of Period 3 elements, Phosphorus trichloride, PCl₃ changes the structure of its molecular bonding from ionic to covalent bonds as it transitions to fluids (liquids or gases). The PCl₃ molecule also has the weak Van der Waals dispersion and dipole-dipole attraction, making it a fuming liquid at room temperature, with no electrical conductivity.
Answer:
238,485 Joules
Explanation:
The amount of energy required is a summation of heat of fusion, capacity and vaporization.
Q = mLf + mC∆T + mLv = m(Lf + C∆T + Lv)
m (mass of water) = 75 g
Lf (specific latent heat of fusion of water) = 336 J/g
C (specific heat capacity of water) = 4.2 J/g°C
∆T = T2 - T1 = 119 - (-20) = 119+20 = 139°C
Lv (specific latent heat of vaporization of water) = 2,260 J/g
Q = 75(336 + 4.2×139 + 2260) = 75(336 + 583.8 + 2260) = 75(3179.8) = 238,485 J
Answer:
- They are highly reactive metals
- They have low electro negativity
- They have low ionization energy
- They don't exist alone in nature
- They have low densities
Explanation:
Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.
Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.
Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.
Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.
Due to this reason, they also have low densities.
