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.

Advocard [28]

Answer: a: reactants Na-2 Cl-2

Products: Na-2 Cl-2;

b: reactants P-1 Cl-13 H-6 Products P-1 H-6 Cl-13

c: reactants P-4 H-12 O-16

Products H-12 P-4 O-16

Explanation: since these equations are balanced the atoms on of element on the reactants side will be same as the atoms of the same element of the product side

How many molecules are present in 1 teaspoon of sucrose if its mass is 4.10g? show your work
frozen [14]
4.10 g C12H22O11 * ( 1 mol / 342.2965 g ) * ( 6.022x10^23 / 1 mol ) = <span>7.2107077x10^21 molecules = 7.21x10^21 molecules

Convert grams to moles using the molar mass ( g/mol ).

Use Avogadro's constant ( 6.022x10^23 ) to get the quantity of molecules from the amount of moles.

Revise answer to have the correct number of significant figures ( the smallest amount of digits in any number in the problem is the amount of significant figures your answer should have ).</span>

What happens in this reaction? <br><br> butan-1-amine + CH3I --&gt;
Galina-37 [17]

Here we have to get the product between the reaction of butane-1-amine with methyl iodide (CH₃I).

The  reaction between 1 mole of butan-1-amine and 1 mole of methyl iodide produces Methyl-butamine which is a secondary amine.

However, In presence of 2 moles of methyl iodide the reaction proceed to N, N-di-methylbutamine. The reaction is shown in the figure.

This is one of the effective reaction method to generate secondary and tertiary amine from primary amine.

The primary amine reacts with alkyl iodide to form secondary to tertiary amine. The final product depends upon the quantity of the alkyl iodide present in the reaction.

Which of the following is not a primary function of the products of the pentose phosphate pathway? a. To maintain levels of NADP
zlopas [31]

Answer: The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

As you can see in every step of the pathway, ATP is not generated directly. Although, in the oxidative phase, molecules of NADPH are produced and these can be used for synthesize ATP indirectly; the NADPH molecules are hihgly demanded in tissues that carry out constantly synthesis of fatty acids, such as liver.

Therefore the correct answer is D.
