How does the size of the atoms relate to how reactive it is?

Chemistry

Nata [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The larger an atom is, the more reactive it will be.

It helps to think about the size of an atom with the location of the electrons and nucleus in mind. You know that protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged, therefore there is a level of attraction between these two oppositely charged subatomic particles. This attraction helps stabilize the atom.

Now, in a larger atom, with more electrons are those electrons (specifically the valence electrons) going to be closer or further from the nucleus than in a smaller atom?

They will of course be further from the nucleus and therefore further from the positively charged nucleus. This makes it easier for the valence electrons to leave the atom and form an ionic bond or to interact with another atom to form a covalent bond.

If electrons can leave more easily, then the atom is more likely to react.

During action potential, positively charged ________ ions move inside the cell.
Tems11 [23]

During action potential, positively charged  sodium ions move inside the cell.

So option D is correct one.

The sodium ion moves inside the cell during a action potential. The stage of action potential is called depolarization . This open voltage gated sodium channel.

Action potentials ( those electrical impulse that send signals around body )  is nothing but more than temporary shift ( from negative to positive ) in the neuron's membrane potential caused by ions suddenly flowing in and out of the neuron.

It consists of phases:

  • Depolarization
  • overshoot
  • repolarization

An active potential propagates along the cell membrane of an axon until  it reaches the terminal button.

What pressure will be produced when 2.0 moles of N2 gas is heated to 68oC in a container that holds 1.25 of gas?
Stella [2.4K]

The pressure of the nitrogen gas produced is determined as 44.77 atm.

<h3>What is the pressure of the Nitrogen gas?</h3>

The pressure of the nitrogen gas is determined from ideal gas equation, as shown below;

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

where;

  • n is number of moles = 2 moles
  • R is ideal gas constant = 0.08205 L.atm/mol.K
  • T is temperature = 68⁰C = 68 + 273 = 341 K
  • V is volume = 1.25 L

P = (2 x 0.08205 x 341)/(1.25)

P = 44.77 atm.

Is pre ap chemistry hard in high school?
UkoKoshka [18]

If you don't practice enough it's obviously going to be hard but if you practice enough it's going to be a piece of cake so don't think if it's going to be hard or not just think it's going to be worth the try at the very end

15.0 g of cream at 10.0 ℃ are added to an insulated cup containing 150.0 g of coffee at 78.6 °C. Calculate the equilibrium tempe
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The equilibrium temperature of the coffee is 72.4 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of cream = 15.0 grams

Temperature of the cream = 10.0°C

Mass of the coffee = 150.0 grams

Temperature of the coffee = 78.6 °C

C = respective specific heat of the substances( same as water) = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the equilibrium temperature

m(cream)*C*(T2-T1) = -m(coffee)*c*(T2-T1)

15.0 g* 4.184 J/g°C *(T2 - 10.0°C) = -150.0g *4.184 J/g°C*(T2-78.6°C)

62.76T2 - 627.6 = -627.6T2 + 49329.36

690.36T2 = 49956.96

T2 = 72.4 °C

The equilibrium temperature of the coffee is 72.4 °C
