What is electronegativity? Explain the periodic trend - what is it, why is it that way

Chemistry
1 answer:
irina1246 [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative at 0.7.

Explanation:

Major periodic trends include: electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radius, melting point, and metallic character. ... These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure of the elements within their respective group families or periods, and because of the periodic nature of the elements

What mass in grams of iron metal can be formed by the reaction of 2.14 gAI metal with excess Fe₂O₃, according to the thermite re
kogti [31]

Answer:

4.43 g Fe

Explanation:

To find the mass of iron, you need to (1) convert grams Al to moles Al (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles Al to moles Fe (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles Fe to grams Fe (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the conversions/ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (the desired unit should be in the numerator). The final answer should have 3 sig figs because the given value (2.14) has 3 sig figs.

Molar Mass (Al): 26.982 g/mol

2 Al(s) + Fe₂O₃ --->  2 Fe(s) + Al₂O₃(s)

Molar Mass (Fe): 55.845 g/mol

 2.14 g Al           1 mole              2 moles Fe           55.845 g
----------------  x  -----------------  x  --------------------  x  ------------------  =  4.43 g Fe
                         26.982 g           2 moles Al             1 mole

Butanal and butanone have different chemical and physical properties primarily because of differences in their
Simora [160]

Answer: (1) functional groups

Explanation:

Functional groups are specific group of atoms within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules.

The compounds having similar molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms or groups in space are called isomers and the phenomenon is called as isomerism.  

Butanal is CH_3CH_2CH_2CHO and butanone is CH_3CH_2COCH_3.

CH_3CH_2CH_2CHO and CH_3CH_2COCH_3 are functional isomers which have same molecular formula , similar masses and same number of carbon atoms per molecule but different functional groups attached.

Which trends appear as the elements in Period 3 are considered from left to right?
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Metallic character decreases, and electronegativity increases.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the organization of the periodic table, we can see that from left to right, the electronegativity increases as nonmetals are able to attract electrons more easily than metals.

Moreover, in contrast to the previous periodic trend, the metallic character decreases from left to right because the elements tend to decrease the capacity to lose electrons and consequently start attracting them.

Thus, the answer would be: "Metallic character decreases, and electronegativity increases".

Best regards!

What is the ph of a 0.15 m solution of ammonium chloride?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
 Best Answer:  <span>(a) 
8.9 x 10^-7 = x^2 / 0.15-x 
x = [OH-] = 0.00037 M 
pOH = 3.4 
pH = 14 - 3.4 = 10.6 

(b) 
Ka = Kw/Kb = 5.6 x 10^-10 = x^2 / 0.20-x 
x = [H+] = 0.000011 M 
pH = 5.0</span>
