Which atom has the smallest valence p atomic orbital carbon nitrogen sulfur?

1 answer:

7 0

Looking for the atom which has the smallest valence p atomic orbital among the choices (carbon, nitrogen, sulfur) requires one to look at a periodic table with electron configurations. The answer is carbon. It's p orbital only has 2 electrons. (Full configuration of carbon: 1s2 2s2 2p2) (Nitrogen has 2p3 while sulfur has 2p4.)

Answer: Halogens tend to attract electrons when bonding (Option C)

Explanation: Halogens being non metals have greater electronegativities hence, attract electrons and making the statement disputed. Nobel gases are highly stable; this explains why they are nonreactive. They do not form chemical bonds because they only have a little tendency to either gain or lose an electron; on the other hand, halogens are reactive because they only need one additional electron to complete their octet.

In principle, the equilibrium in the dehydration of an alcohol could be shifted to the right be removal of water. Why is this ta

Trava [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In this case, we have to remember that if we want to remove water from the reaction vessel we have to heat the vessel. So, we can convert the liquid water into gas water and we can remove it from the vessel. In this case, the products of dehydration for both molecules are (E)-4-methylpent-2-ene and cyclohexene with boiling points of 59.2 ºC and 89 ºC respectively. The boiling point of water is 100 ºC, therefore if we heat the vessel the products and water would leave the system, and the products would be lost.

Which of the following is a chemical change?

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Silver tarnishing as the silver metal reacts with sulphur is a chemical change.

Explanation:

Tarnishing is the process of chemical change occurring on the surface of objects leading to corrosion or other defects on the surface. The remaining options like dilution, eroding is a physical change where the concentration of salt and rock particles will be decreased, respectively.

Similarly for soil drying also the concentration of water will be decreased leading to a physical change from wetty or dry soil.

But the last option which indicates tarnishing of silver metal on reaction with sulphur is a chemical process as the surface of silver metal will be reacting to sulphur and leads to lose of electrons which leads to corrosion of the surface or tarnishing of silver.
