Electron affinity is defined as the change in energy (in kJ/mole) of a neutral atom (in the gaseous phase) when an electron is added to the atom to form a negative ion. In other words, the neutral atom's likelihood of gaining an electron.

Electron Affinity of Lithium is 59.6 kJ/mol.

Electron Affinity of Caesium is 45.5 kJ/mol.

Electron Affinity of Lithium is 59.6 kJ/mol. Electronegativity of Lithium is 0.98. ... Electron affinities are more difficult to measure than ionization energies. An atom of Lithium in the gas phase, for example, gives off energy when it gains an electron to form an ion of Lithium.

Trends

The ionization energy of the elements within a period generally increases from left to right. This is due to valence shell stability.

The ionization energy of the elements within a group generally decreases from top to bottom. This is due to electron shielding.

The noble gases possess very high ionisation energies because of their full valence shells as indicated in the graph. Note that helium has the highest ionization energy of all the elements.

Lewis dot diagram for the Cs1+ ion

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

$Cs^+$

Explanation:

Cesium Lewis dot structure would look like this:

·Cs, because it only has one valence electron. But, since it has a plus, that means we lost an electron. So, we have to get rid of the dot and you have:

$Cs^+$

0.023 M solution of perchloric acid

kogti [31]

The original question is to find the pH and the pOH of 0.023 M of perchloric acid.

Answer:
pH = 1.638
pOH = 12.362

Explanation:
1- getting the pH:
pH can be calculated using the following rule:
pH = -log[H+]
Since the given solution is an acid, this means that [H+] is the same as the concentration of the solution.
This means that:
[H+] = 0.023
Substitute in the above equation to get the pH as follows:
pH = -log[0.023]
pH = 1.638

2- getting the pOH:
We know that:
pH + pOH = 14
We have calculated that pH = 1.638.
Substitute in the above equation to get the pOH as follows:
pOH + 1.638 = 14
pOH = 14 - 1.638
pOH = 12.362

Hope this helps :)

The p-value of a statistical test depends on all of the following, except:

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The correct option is e.

Explanation:

p-value is the probability value for a given statistical model, the probability that, when the null hypothesis is true.

For two two samples the formula of test statistics is

$t=\frac{(\overline{x}_1-\overline{x}_2)-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}}}$
