Why do atoms of nonmetals form anions? Support your answer with an example.

1 answer:

5 0

Nonmetals form negatively charged ions, or anions. They do this because they need to gain one to three electrons in order to achieve an octet of valence electrons, making them isoelectronic with the noble gas at the end of the period to which they belong.

Write a ground state electron configuration for each neutral atom

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Pb[lead] [Xe]4f^145d^106s^26p^2

U[uranium] 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6 5s^2 4d^10 5p^6 6s^2 4e^14 5d^10 6p^6

7s^2 5f^4

This notation can be written in core notation or noble gas notation by replacing the

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6 5s^2 4d^10 5p^6 6s^2 4e^14 5d^10 6p^6

7s^2 5f^4

with the noble gas [Rn].

[Rn]7s25f4

N[nitrogen] The full electron configuration for nitrogen is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^3.

Ti[titanium] Ti2+:[Ar]3d^2

Ti:1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^2 4s^2

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^5 = 17 electrons

(1) electron gain will result to a

negative charge (−), and

(2) electron loss will result to a positive charge (+),

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 = 18 electrons

Hg[mercury] You should then find its atomic number is 80. It has a Xe core, so in shorthand notation, you can include [Xe]instead of

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^10 4s^2 4p^6 4d^10 5s^2 5p^6,

for 54 electrons. For the 6th row of the periodic table, we introduce the 4f orbitals, and proceed to atoms having occupied 5d orbitals. We, as usual, have the ns orbitals, and n=? for the 6th period?

Mercury has a regular electron configuration. It becomes:

[Xe]4f145d106s2

An analytical chemist weighs out 0.093g of an unknown monoprotic acid into a 250mL volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark with

Kamila [148]

Answer:

The molar mass of the unknown acid is 89 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

HA(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaA(aq) + H2O(l)

It takes 1 mole of NaOH to neutralize 1 mole of the triprotic acid. This is called the reaction stoichiometry.

Step 2: Data given

Mass of the acid = 0.093 grams

volume = 250 mL

titrates with 0.16 M NaOH

adds 6.5 mL NaOH

Step 3: Calculate moles of NaOH

We know the concentration and volume of NaOH needed to neutralize the acid.

By determining the moles of NaOH in that volume in liters (95.9mL=0.0959L), the moles of acid in the original sample can be determined from the reaction stoichiometry.

Moles = Molarity * Volume

Moles = 0.16 M * 0.0065 L

Moles = 0.00104 moles NaOH

Step 4: Calculate moles of the unknown acid:

It takes 1 mole of NaOH to neutralize 1 mole of the triprotic acid. This is called the reaction stoichiometry.

For 0.00104 moles NaOH we have 0.00104 moles of HA

Step 5: Calculate the molar mass of the acid

Molar mass Ha = Mass Ha / moles Ha

Molar mass Ha = 0.093 grams / 0.00104 moles

Molar mass Ha = 89.42 g/mol ≈89 g/mol

The molar mass of the unknown acid is 89 g/mol

Give regents and mechanism

Kryger [21]

Answer:

Reagents: 1) $BH_3$ 2) $H_2_O2$ , $OH^-$

Mechanism: Hydroboration

Explanation:

In this case, we have a hydration of alkenes reaction. But, in this example, we have an anti-Markovnikov reaction. In other words, the "OH" is added in the least substituted carbon. Therefore we have to choose an anti-Markovnikov reaction: "hydroboration".

The first step of this reaction is the addition of borane ( $BH_3$ ) to the double bond. Then in the second step, we have the deprotonation of the hydrogen peroxide, to obtain the peroxide anion. In the third step, the peroxide anion attacks the molecule produced in the first step to produce a complex compound in which we have a bond " $BH_2-O-OH$ ". In step number 4 we have the migration of the C-B bond to oxygen. Then in step number 5, we have the attack of $OH^-$ on the $O-BH_2$ to produce an alkoxide. Finally, the water molecule produce in step 2 will protonate the molecule to produce the alcohol.

See figure 1

How many kJ to hear 0.700 pint of room temp water to boiling

irina1246 [14]

Use the equation Q = mCT.

Q is the amount of energy in joules.

m is the mass in grams.

C is the specific heat of water (4.184 J/g °C).

T is the change in temperature.

0.700 pints = 331.224 g of water

Q = (331.224 g)(4.184 J/g °C)(100° C - 30° C)

Q = 97,008.885 J

Divide by 1,000 to convert to kilojoules:

97.009 kJ
