Ionization is a process in which an electron present in the outermost orbital of an atom gets knocked out by absorbing an appropriate amount of energy. Release of electron from a neutral atom results in the formation of a cation- a positively charged ion.
Rubidium (Rb) is an alkali metal with a valence electron configuration of 5s¹. Ionization results in the loss of this '5s' electron forming a Rb+ ion. The reaction can be expressed as:
Rb (5s¹) → Rb⁺ (5s⁰) + e⁻
Answer:
8 grams
Explanation:
The molar mass of CH4 is about 16 grams per mol. So you get the answer by mutlitplying 0.5 by 16, (cancel out moles by placing 1 on the bottom of the fraction).
Because just like compounds, the table of chemicals can be looked at as having all the different pieces of it. So the different chemicals are the different "elements" to the periodic table.
Electron cloud is the region around the nucleus in an atom where we can locate an electron.
The concept of electron cloud model was introduced by the Schrodinger and Heisenberg. According to this model, it would be difficult to know the position of the electrons in an atom and they are not particles that orbit around the nucleus. We can only expect the electrons to be present in specific areas called the electron clouds around the nucleus. It is the quantum mechanical model that used the concept of electron clouds. According to the model, the electron cloud or an orbital is a space around the nucleus in an atom where the probability of finding an electron is 90%. It explains that electrons show wave nature. It is difficult to determine the exact position and momentum of an electron in an atom.
