Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

In order: LOWER, HIGHER, NEGATIVE, POSITIVE, INCREASE

Explanation:

First you must consider the definition of electronegativity.

All in all, electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself. For this explanation, let's just consider the groups 1, 2, 13-17, and the noble gases of the periodic table. Furthermore, let's also consider the octet rule. The octet rule says that the last orbit of an atom tends to have 8 electrons in order to be stable.

If you take an atom like Sodium (Na) and search its distribution of electrons by levels, you'll see these number in the last two orbits: 8.1

The penultimate orbit has 8 electrons and the last one has only 1. Therefore, in order to futfill the octet rule what do you think it's easier? Losing the last electron and leaving the 8 electrones of the penultimate orbit as last orbit? Or maybe taking 7 electrons for the last orbit and, hence, futfilling the octet? Well, the answer is the first case.

The more you move from group to group (i.e, rightwards in the periodic table), more electrons will have in their last orbit.

So, in order to respond your question: Yes you should display it like this:

A --> B

Consider A and B two random atoms, for which B's electronegativity is higher than A's. This arrow shows the tendency of the electron flow.

As electrons go to the more electronegative atom, the whole electronic ''cloud'' will tend to be closer to B, because this atom is more electronegative. Hence, there will be a partial (not fixed) negative charge on B rather than on A. This is due to B's high electronegativity. This means that the negative charge will spend more time on B rather than on A, this is what partial negative charge means.

The higher the electronegativity is, the higher the magnitudes of the partial charges --> Therefore, these partial charges are increased and sometimes it might lead to the chemical bond breakage.

What is emitted when an electron returns to its lower energy level?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

When the electron changes levels, it decreases energy and the atom emits photons. The photon is emitted with the electron moving from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. The energy of the photon is the exact energy that is lost by the electron moving to its lower energy level.

Calculează masa zaharului si volumul apei necesare pentru prepararea 500g de soluție de zahăr cu partea de masa 20%
Sedbober [7]
T = 20 %  : 20 / 100 = 0.2

m1 = solute 

m2 = Solvent

T = m1 / m1 + m2

0.2 = 500 g / 500 g + m2

0.2 * ( 500 + m2 ) = 500

0.2 * 500 + 0.2 m2 = 500

100 + 0.2 m2 = 500

0.2 m2 = 500 - 100

0.2 m2 = 400

m2 = 400 / 0.2

m2 = 2000 g of water

hope this helps!

B. Calculate how many atoms of hydrogen are in 1. 75 moles of glucose (c6h12o6).
ycow [4]

Answer:

1.26x10^25 atoms of hydrogen

Explanation:

because there are 12 atoms of hydrogen in a molecule of glucose, multiply 12 by Avogadro's number (6.02x10^23) to get how many molecules of hydrogen there are in a mole of glucose. Then multiply that number by 1.75, which is the number of moles of glucose there is in this problem.
