Why is there such a large jump and ionization energy between the second and third ionization energy‘s for magnesium?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Romashka [77]2 years ago
5 0
The second ionization energy of Mg is larger than the first because it always takes more energy to remove an electron from a positively charged ion than from a neutral atom. The third ionization energy of magnesium is enormous, however, because the Mg2+ ion has a filled-shell electron configuration.

Calculate the mass of aluminum in 500 g of Al(C2H3O2)3
Luden [163]
Answer: 66.2 g

Explanation:

1) The ratio of Al in the molecule is  1 mol to 1 mol .

2) The mass of 1 mol of molecules of Al (CH2H3O2)3 is the molar mass of the compound.

3) You calculate the molar mass of the compound using the atomic masses of each atom, in this way:

Al: 27 g/mol
C: 2 * 3 * 12 g/mol = 72 g/mol
H: 3 * 3 * 1 g/mol = 9 g/mol
O: 2 * 3 * 16 g/mol = 96 g/mol

Molar mass = 27 g/mol + 72 g/mol + 9 g/mol + 96 g/mol = 204 g/mol

4) Set a proportion:

    27 g/mol                x
-------------------- =  ----------
   204 g/mol            500 g

5) Solve for x:

x = 500 g * 27 g/mol / 204 g/mol = 66.2 g

What is relative isotopic mass
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Relative atomic mass or atomic weight is a dimensionless physical quantity defined as the ratio of the average mass of atoms of a chemical element in a given sample to the atomic mass constant. The atomic mass constant is defined as being 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

Find the atomic numbers of the as yet undiscovered next two members of the series. radon
denpristay [2]
This answer is based on the electron configuration.

And you can use Aufbau's rule to predict the atomic number of the next elements.

Radon, Rn is the element number 86.

Following Aufbau's rules, the electron configuration of Rn is: [Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p6. This means that you are suming 2 + 14 + 10 + 6 = 32 electrons with respect to the element Xe.

You can verity that the atomic number of Xe is 54, so when you add 32 you get 54 + 32 = 86, which is the atomic number of Rn.

Again, as per Aufbau's rules, the next element of the same group or period is when the 6 electrons of the 7p orbital are filled. For that, they have to pass 32 elements whose orbitals are:

7s2 5f14 6d10 7p6: count the electrons added: 2 + 14 + 10 + 6 = 32, and that is why the next element wil have atomic number 86 + 32 = 118.

Now, when you go for a new series, you find a new type of orbital, the g orbital, for which the model predict there are 18 electrons to fill.

So the next element of the group will have ; 2 + 18 + 14 + 10 + 6 = 50 electrons, which means that the atomic number of this, not yet discovered element, has atomic number 118 + 50 = 168.

By the way the element with atomic number 118 was already discovdered at its symbol is Og. You can search that information in internet.

Answers: 118 and 168
