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>.

Consider the process in which HClO3 is converted to HClO2. The oxidation state of oxygen remains −2, and the oxidation state of
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Option 1, Cl is reduced and gains electrons

Explanation:

HClO₃  → HClO₂

In HClO₃, chlorine acts with +5 in the oxidation state

In HClO₂,, chlorine acts with +3 in the oxidation state.

The state has been reducted, so the Cl has been reduced. As it was reduced, it means that has won e⁻, in this case 2

Cl⁻⁵  → Cl⁻³  +  2e⁻

Im doing a science project and need examples and non-examples of an Atom. some examples of an atom is neon, hydrogen, argon, etc
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Anything not on the periodic table is an element non example! ... So, for a substance to be an element, all of its atoms must have the same number of protons. Examples of elements include hydrogen, lithium, nickel, and radium.

Describe how experimental evidence led each of the following scientists: Dalton, Rutherford, Thompson, Chadwick and Bohr, to dev
nasty-shy [4]
Dalton Found out there was a small, hard indestructible sphere that is the smalles part of an element.He created his own Atomic Theory:
-All Matter is made up of small particles called atoms.
-Atoms cannot be created, destroyed, or divided into smaller particles.
-All atoms of the same element are identical in mass and size. The atoms of one element are different in mass and size from the atoms of other elements.
<span>-Compounds are created when atoms of different elements link together in definite proportions.
</span><span>Rutherford had found the positively charged nucleus in the middle of every atom using his Gold Foil Experiment. While doing this experiment, he expected these particles to just pass right through the foil but they bounced right back. He also proposed there were negatively charged electrons revolving around the nucleus.
</span><span>Thompson found negative electrons and inferred atoms also contain negative particles. He inferred there was a lump of positively charged material, with negative electrons throughout. He used the Raisins Bun Model to explain. 
</span>Chadwick <span>proved that it consisted of a neutral particle with about the same mass as a proton "Neutron"  is the name given to the particle</span>
Bohr 
believed Rutherford's prediction was correct, but it wasn't complete. Bohr proposed electrons could only move between energy levels, rather then being able to move everywhere.
