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>.

If an area has high air pressure and low humidity, what type of weather will it most likely have?

Aloha~! My name is Zalgo and I am here to help you out today. Those sort of conditions could be fore-boding/foreshadowing/warning that there will soon be a storm or that it will rain quite a lot. In the case of it being a storm, you should be a small room where there are no windows and nothing that is small that will fly towards you that could kill you.

I hope that this helps! :D

Which of the following is a value of biodiversity?
Sever21 [200]
Biodiversity has a fundamental value to humans because we are so dependent on it for our cultural, economic, and environmental well-being. Some argue that it is our moral responsibility to preserve the Earth’s incredible diversity for the next generation. Others simply like knowing that nature’s great diversity exists and that the opportunity to utilize it later, if need be, is secure. Scientists value biodiversity because it offers clues about natural systems that we are still trying to understand. Arguably, the greatest value to humans, however, comes from the ?ecosystem services? it provides.

Biodiversity forms the backbone of viable ecosystems on which we depend on for basic necessities, security, and health. By breaking down plant and animal matter, for example, insects and other invertebrates make nutrients available to plants and are integral to the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Other species pollinate crops, an essential service for farmers. Healthy ecosystems can mitigate or prevent flooding, erosion, and other natural disasters. These ecosystem services also play a hand in the functioning of our climate and in both air and water quality.

A rigid tank contains 1.40 moles of an ideal gas. Determine the number of moles of gas that must be withdrawn from the tank to l
sergey [27]

Answer : The final number of moles of gas that withdrawn from the tank to lower the pressure of the gas must be, 0.301 mol.

Explanation :

As we know that:

PV=nRT

At constant volume and temperature of gas, the pressure will be directly proportional to the number of moles of gas.

The relation between  pressure and number of moles of gas will be:

\frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 24.5 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 5.30 atm

n_1 = initial number of moles of gas = 1.40 moles

n_2 = final number of moles of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

\frac{24.5atm}{5.30atm}=\frac{1.40mol}{n_2}

n_2=0.301mol

Therefore, the final number of moles of gas that withdrawn from the tank to lower the pressure of the gas must be, 0.301 mol.
