Answer:

B. P (Phosphorus)

Explanation:

The element is be phosphorus.

This is true because phosphorus has a larger atomic radius than carbon. If you move than the group, elements gain additional electron shell. That additional electron shell keeps electrons far from the nucleus of the atom. This actually increases the atomic radius. Also, phosphorus is more electronegative than aluminum because phosphorus itself is a non-metal and non-metals are generally electronegative while aluminum is a metal and electropositive.

Phosphorus has a lower ionization energy than argon because the ionization energy across the period (i.e from left to right) increases and across period 3, you will find phosphorus first before argon in the periodic table.

There are ________ unpaired electrons in the Lewis symbol for a nitride ion.

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

There are no unpaired electrons.

Explanation:

There are no unpaired electrons in the Lewis symbol for a nitride ion( ${ N }^{ 3- }$ ).The nitride ion has a charge of -3. The negative charge on the Nitride ion indicates a gain in electrons . Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons that is the number of electrons that are in its outer shell .The total number of electrons that the nitride ion has is equal to 5+3 = 8 electrons . Electrons usually appear in pairs and obey the octet rule therefore the nitride ion has four electron pairs no unpaired electrons.

A 0.0000792 M sample of Compound X in a solvent has an absorbance of 0.341 at 528 nm in a 1.000-cm cuvet. The solvent alone has

natima [27]

Answer:

a) a = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹

b) C = 0,000127 M

Explanation:

Lambert-Beer law says that there is a linear relationship between absorbance and concentration of a chemical substance. The formula is:

A = a×b×C

Where A is absorbance, a is molar absorptivity, b is path length and C is concentration.

a) In the problem Concentration is 0.0000792 M, b is 1,000cm and Absorbance is absorbance of sample-absorbance of blank: 0,341-0,065 = 0,276

Replacing:

0,276 = a×1,000cm×0,0000792M

a = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹

b) As the experiment consist in the same compound in the same solvent, the molar absorptivity will be the same, a = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹, path length will be 1,000cm and absorbance: 0,508-0,065 = 0,443

Replacing:

0,443 = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹×1,000cm×C

C = 0,000127 M

I hope it helps!

What is the primary reason why elements form compounds?

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

To gain stability

Explanation:

If the outermost shell is not completely filled with electrons, the element has one of the three options: gaining electrons, losing electrons or sharing electrons. By gaining or losing electrons, ionic compounds are produced. Sharing of electrons results in the formation of covalent compounds.
