Explain the following phenomena. why Fluorine has lower electron affinity than chlorine​

Chemistry

Radda [10]3 years ago

Electron affinity for fluorine is than chlorine most likely , due to the electron repulsion that occur between the electron where n= 2 . the elements in the second period have such small electron clouds that electron repulsion is greater than that of the rest of the family.

Answer:

Fluorine ,through higher than chlorine in the periodic table,has a very small atomic size.This makes the fluoride anion so formed unstable(Highley reactive) due to very high charge/mass/ratio. ...As a result,fluorine has an electron affinity less than that of <u>Chlorine</u>.

2. Chromium+oxygen - chromium(III) oxide <br>balanced​
sesenic [268]

Answer:

4Cr + 3O2 —> 2Cr2O3

Explanation:

Information from the question include:

Chromium + oxygen -> chromium(III) oxide

From the word equation given above, the equation can be written as follow:

Cr + O2 —> Cr2O3

The equation can be balance by doing the following:

There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of Cr2O3 and 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

Cr + 3O2 —> 2Cr2O3

Now, we have 4 atoms of Cr on the right side and 1 atom on the left. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of Cr as shown below:

4Cr + 3O2 —> 2Cr2O3

Now the equation is balanced

Calculate the wavelength for the transition from n = 4 to n = 2, and state the name given to the spectroscopic series to which t
finlep [7]

Answer:

The wavelength for the transition from n = 4 to n = 2 is<u> 486nm</u> and the name  name given to the spectroscopic series belongs to <u>The Balmer series.</u>

Explanation

lets calculate -

Rydberg equation-   \frac{1}{\pi } =R(\frac{1}{n_1^2} -\frac{1}{n_2^2})

where ,\pi is wavelength , R is Rydberg constant ( 1.097\times10^7), n_1 and n_2are the quantum numbers of the energy levels. (where n_1=2 , n_2=4)

Now putting the given values in the equation,

                \frac{1}{\pi }=1.097\times10^7\times(\frac{1}{2^2} -\frac{1}{4^2} )=2056875m^-^1

    Wavelength \pi =\frac{1}{2056875}

             =4.86\times10^-^7 = 486nm

<u>    Therefore , the wavelength is 486nm and it belongs to The Balmer series.</u>

Organic Chem Rxn Question
NemiM [27]

Answer:

a, g, c

Explanation:

The conversion of the stable cyclopentane into Trans-1, 2dibromocyclopentane will require three step reactions.

The first is to convert the compound into a cyclopentene, through the addition of Bromine water under heat and photons (light). So option A is the first in the order. This will generate 1 bromocyclopentane through halogenation of the alkane. Secondly, a hot and strong base should be added like the NaOEt, EtOH to remove the added bromine and one atom of hydrogen from the resulting 1 bromocyclopentane in the previous reaction. This will yield cyclopentene, thus making the compound more electrophilic. So option g is required. Thirdly, bromine molecules will be added (C) to take up their places at the two electrophilic regions of the compound to produce Trans-1, 2dibromocyclopentane.
