Answer:

2s2 2p5

Rb < Sr< Sn< Te<I

Explanation:

Electron affinity is the ability of an atom to accept electrons to form negative ions.

Electron affinity is a periodic trend that decreases down the group but increases across the period.

This accounts for the trends observed in the answer. The atom having the electronic configuration, 2s2 2p5 must be a halogen and it exhibits the highest value of electron affinity.

Also, since electron affinity increases across the period, the electron affinities of the elements increases. Therefore, the arrangement of atoms as shown in the answer depends on increasing electron affinity.

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre electrones internos y electrones externos? *
Fudgin [204]

Answer & Explanation:

Los electrones externos se encuentran más lejos del núcleo. El número de electrones en la capa más externa (electrones de valencia) de un átomo en particular determina su reactividad (tendencia) a formar enlaces químicos con otros átomos.

Los electrones internos son los más cercanos al núcleo. Protegen los electrones de valencia del núcleo, reduciendo la carga nuclear efectiva.

Dana is trying to determine if an unknown sample is a pure substance or not. The sample has a cloudy white color, and it seems e
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Dana filtered the sample and larger granules of the sample were left behind.

Explanation:

If a substance is pure, it will have a uniform composition throughout. It will not separate into particles of various sizes.

One of the characteristics of pure substances is that they are homogeneous. A mixture is definitely made up of particles of various sizes.

Since the particles was filtered and larger granules were left behind, the sample has been separated by a physical method (filtration). Only a mixture can be separated by physical methods. It is not a pure substance.

Consider the reaction that occurs when copper is added to nitric acid. Upper C u (s) plus 4 upper H upper N upper O subscript 3
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Cu

Explanation:

In the given reaction of the addition of copper to nitric acid,

Cu(s) + 4HNO3(aq) -> Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(l)

Cu or copper would be characterized as the reducing agent in this reaction. It is the chemical substance that is losing electrons and being oxidized due to this reduction/loss in this redox reaction as it is the metal that loses electrons by reacting with the non-metals.

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

57.48%

Explanation:

Calculate the mass of 1 mole of malachite:

MM Cu = 63.55

MM O = 16.00

MM H = 1.01

MM C = 12.01

(Cu_{2}(OH)_{2}CO_{3})

A mole of malachite has:

2 moles of Cu

5 moles of O

2 moles of H

1 mole of C

MW Malachite = 2*MM(CU) + 5*MM(O) + 2*MM(H) + 1 *MM(C)

MW Malachite = 2*63.55 + 5*16.00 + 2*1.01 + 1*12.01

MW Malachite = 221.13

Mass of Cu in a mole of Malachite = 2*MM(CU) = 127.1

Now divide the mass of Cu by the mass of Malachite

%Cu = \frac{127.1}{221.13} =0.5748=57.48%

When we react a weak acid with a strong base of equal amounts and concentration, the component of the reaction that will have th
andriy [413]

Answer:

d. the conjugate base of the weak acid

Explanation:

The strong base (BOH) is completely dissociated in water:

BOH → B⁺ + OH⁻

The resulting conjugate acid (OH⁻) is a weak acid, so it remains in solution as OH⁻ ions.

By other hand, the weak acid (HA) is only slightly dissociated in water:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

The resulting conjugate base (A⁻) is a weak base. Thus, it reacts with H⁺ ions from water to form HA, increasing the concentration of OH⁻ ions in the solution.

Therefore, the resulting solution will have a pH > 7 (basic).
