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

Chemistry

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.

Calculate the entropy change for the reaction: Fe2O3(s) +3C(s) -> 2Fe(s) + 3CO(g)
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

ΔS = +541.3Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Standard Entropy of Fe₂O₃ = 90Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

Standard Entropy of C = 5.7Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

Standard Entropy of Fe = 27.2Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

Standard Entropy of CO = 198Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

To find the entropy change of the reaction, we first write a balanced reaction equation:

                              Fe₂O₃ +  3C →  2Fe + 3CO

To calculate the entropy change of the reaction we simply use the equation below:

      ΔS = ∑S_{products} - ∑S_{reactants}

Therefore:

     ΔS = [(2x27.2) + (3x198)] - [(90) + (3x5.7)] = 648.4 - 107.1

                          ΔS = +541.3Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Nucleic acid is an important class of macromolecules found in all cells and viruses. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) encodes the information the cell needs to make proteins.

A related type of nucleic acid, called ribonucleic acid (RNA), comes in different molecular forms that participate in protein synthesis.

Nata [24]

Answer:

1. How do metals and non-metals react with acids?

Ans : Non metals does not react with acids while metals react with acids and produce hydrogen gas that burns with a 'pop'sound.

2. Write and explain the chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium with sulphuric acid and aluminium with hydrochloric acid.

Magnesium + sulphuric acid = Hydrogen + salt

Mg(s) + H2SO4 (aq) MgSO 4(aq) +H2 (g)

Aluminium + Hydrochloric acid = Hydrogen + Aluminium chloride

2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)→2AlCl3(aq)+3H2(g)
