Explanation:

<h2>Radium(Ra)=> </h2>

atomic number=88

<h2>BERYLLIUM (Be)=></h2>

atomic number =4

why is Ra larger than Be

<h3>1. since the atomic number of Ra is greater than Be, the number of electrons is more, which means there are more number of shells present in Ra than Be. </h3><h2>(atomic Radius)</h2>

<h2>2. the more the valence electron (excluding fully filled ones) the less is the nuclear attraction force</h2><h3>since Ra has more valence electron in its outermost shell, the nuclear attraction force is less which means that Ra 's size is greater than Be.</h3>

hope it helps:)

Which of the following reactions could be used to power a battery because of the transfer of electrons?

Trava [24]

Answer is: Zn + Cu2+ → Zn2+ + Cu.

In this chemical reaction, there is transfer of electrons from zinc (Zn) to copper (Cu). Zinc change oxidation number from 0 to +2 (lost electrons) and copper change oxidation number from +2 to 0 (gain electrons).

Oxidation half reaction: Zn⁰ → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻.

Reduction half reaction: Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu⁰.

In other chemical reactions, there is no change of oxidation number of elements.

Orbitals are defined by which term?

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An orbital is defined as the energy shell which can contain a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins.

A wave like behavior of an electron is determined by an orbital and basically an orbital acts like a mathematical function.

For example, in a p-sub shell the orbitals present are $p_{x}$ , $p_{y}$ and $p_{z}$ .

Therefore, we can conclude that orbitals are defined by energy level.

12. How many moles of atoms are present in 154 g of Na2O?

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ 2.48 \ mol \ Na_2O}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to convert an amount in grams to moles. To do this, we use the molar mass. This is the number of grams in one mole of a substance. It is the same value numerically as the atomic mass on the Periodic Table, however the units are grams per mole, not atomic mass units.

Look up the molar masses for the individual elements.

Sodium (Na): 22.9897693 g/mol
Oxygen (O): 15.999 g/mol

Look back at the formula: Na₂O. Notice there is a subscript of 2 after sodium. This means there are 2 atoms of sodium in every molecule, so we have to multiply sodium's molar mass by 2 before adding oxygen's.

Na₂O: 2(22.9897693 g/mol)+ 15.999 g/mol = 61.9785386 g/mol

Set up a ratio using the molar mass.

$\frac {61.9785386 \ g \ Na_2O}{1 \ mol \ Na_2O}$

Multiply by the given number of grams.

$154 \ g \ Na_2O*\frac {61.9785386 \ g \ Na_2O}{1 \ mol \ Na_2O}$

Flip the ratio so the grams of sodium oxide can cancel each other out.

$154 \ g \ Na_2O*\frac {1 \ mol \ Na_2O}{61.9785386 \ g \ Na_2O}$

$154 *\frac {1 \ mol \ Na_2O}{61.9785386 }$

$\frac {154}{61.9785386 } \ mol \ Na_2O$

$2.48473106141 \ mol \ Na_2O$

The original measurement of grams given has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the hundredth place.

2.48<u>4</u>73106141

The 4 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the 8.

$2.48 \ mol \ Na_2O$

There are <u>2.48 moles of sodium oxide</u> in 154 grams, so choice A is correct.
