Radda [10]3 years ago
4 0

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>.

What does the atomic weight of an element represent
Marrrta [24]

The nuclei of atoms also contain neutrons, which help hold the nucleus together. ... The total weight of an atom is called the atomic weight. It is approximately equal to the number of protons and neutrons, with a little extra added by the electrons.


The mass of a given atom, measured on a scale in which the hydrogen atom has the weight of one. Because most of the mass in an atom is in the nucleus, and each proton and neutron has an atomic weight near one, the atomic weight is very nearly equal to the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Water can be formed in the following reaction:
andreev551 [17]

Answer is: 10 moles of water will be produced.

Balanced chemical reaction of formation of water:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.

n(H₂) = 10 mol; amount of hydrogen gas.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(H₂) : n(H₂O) = 2 : 2 (1 : 1).

n(H₂O) = n(H₂).

n(H₂O) = 10 mol; amount of water.
