Which element would have the lowest electronegativity? (1 point)

The element which would have the lowest electronegativity is: an element with a small number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius.

Atomic radii can be defined as a measure of the size (distance) of the atom of a chemical element such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen etc, typically from the nucleus to the valence electrons. The atomic radius of a chemical element decreases across the periodic table, typically from alkali metals (group one elements such as hydrogen, lithium and sodium) to noble gases (group eight elements such as argon, helium and neon). Also, the atomic radius of a chemical element increases down each group of the periodic table, typically from top to bottom (column).

Generally, atoms with relatively large atomic radii tend to have a low electronegativity, ionization energy and a low electron affinity.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Thus, number of valence electrons is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements such as electronegativity.  

Electronegativity can be defined as the ability or tendency of the atom of an chemical element to attract any shared pair of electrons.

In conclusion, a chemical element that has small number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius would have the lowest electronegativity.

An equal number of moles of KI (potassium iodide) and MgI2 (magnesium iodide) are dissolved in equal volumes of water.
SOVA2 [1]
<span>  As we know that MgI2 (magnesium iodide) when dissociated it gives more ions than  the KI so it has more boiling point as its boiling point is high it means that it boils more so it has low vapor pressure and freezing point

On the other hand as we know that KI dissociates into two  ions so so it has high freezing and vapor pressure
hope it helps</span>

How many ATOMS of boron are present in 3.61 grams of boron trifluoride ?
Delvig [45]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{3.203 *  10^{22} atoms}

We can use the following conversions to solve:

Total mass --> amount of mols --> amount of atoms (Avogadro's number)

Begin by calculating the amount of boron trifluoride in 3.61 grams:

3.61 g * (1 mol BF₃ / 67.8 g) ≈ 0.0532 mol BF₃

Use avogadro's number to convert:

0.0532 mol * 6.02× 10²³atoms / 1 mol = 3.203 × 10²² atoms

What is the pH of a solution with an [H+] of (a) 5.4 x 10-10, (b) 4.3 x 10-5, (c) 5.4 x 10-7?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

a. 9.2

b. 4.4

c. 6.3

Explanation:

In order to calculate the pH of each solution, we will use the definition of pH.

pH = -log [H⁺]

(a) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ M

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 9.2

Since pH > 7, the solution is basic.

(b) [H⁺] = 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ M

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ = 4.4

Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.

(c) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ M

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ = 6.3

Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.
