Write the charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion most likely to be formed by each:

Maru [420]

Answer :

(a) The charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion is, (+1) and $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

(b) The charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion is, (-3) and $1s^22s^22p^6$

(c) The charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion is, (-1) and $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

Explanation :

For the neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are equal. But, they are unequal when the atoms present in the form of ions or the atom has some charges.

When an unequal number of electrons and protons then it leads to the formation of ionic species.

Ion : An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.

When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.

When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.

(a) The given element is, Rb (Rubidium)

As we know that the rubidium element belongs to group 1 and the atomic number is, 37

The ground-state electron configuration of Rb is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^65s^1$

This element will easily loose 1 electron and form $Rb^+$ ion which attain stable noble gas electronic configuration.

The full ground-state electron configuration of Rb ion is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

(b) The given element is, N (Nitrogen)

As we know that the nitrogen element belongs to group 15 and the atomic number is, 7

The ground-state electron configuration of N is:

$1s^22s^22p^3$

This element will easily gain 3 electrons and form $N^{3-}$ ion which attain stable noble gas electronic configuration.

The full ground-state electron configuration of N ion is:

$1s^22s^22p^6$

(c) The given element is, Br (Bromine)

As we know that the bromine element belongs to group 17 and the atomic number is, 35

The ground-state electron configuration of Rb is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^5$

This element will easily gain 1 electron and form $Br^-$ ion which attain stable noble gas electronic configuration.

The full ground-state electron configuration of Br ion is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

Consider the reaction below. 2Al2O3 4Al + 3O2 What is the mole ratio of oxygen to aluminum?

DiKsa [7]

The answer is 3/4.

The coefficient next to each reactant represents the amount of moles. The compound for oxygen is O2 and the compound for aluminum is 4. We can see that the number next to O2 is 3 and the number next to aluminum is 4.

Which of the following happens when solid sodium chloride dissolves in water?A.The attractive forces between water and the sodiu

grin007 [14]

Answer: option D. The attractive forces between the sodium and chloride ions are overcome by the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions.

Explanation:

Solid sodium chloride (NaCl) is a ionic compound formed by ionic bonds between by the positive, metallic cations of sodium atom, Na⁺, and the negative, non-meatllic anions of chlorine atom, Cl⁻ (chloride).

Ionic bonds, then, are the electrostatic attracion between oppositely charged particles (cations and anions).

When solid sodium chloride dissolves in water, the ions (cations and anions) are separated in the solvent (water) due to the superior attracitve forces between such ions and the polar water molecules.

Water (H₂O) is a molecule, formed by polar covalent bonds between two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

The polarity of water molecule is due to the fact that oxygen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen atoms, which cause that the electron density is closer to oxygen nuclei than to hydrogen nuclei. This asymmetry in the electron density conferes a partial positive charge over each hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge over the oxygen atoms.

Thus, the positively charged hydrogen atoms attract and surround the negative chloride (Cl⁻) anions, while the negatively charged oxygen atoms attract and surround the positive sodium (Na⁺) cations. It is only because the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions are stronger than the attractive forces between the sodiium and chloride ions that such ions may be kept separated in the solution. This process is called solvation and the ions are said to be solvated by the water molecules.

The thing that the discovered is a "partially molten state" What would that be considered as

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

liquid and solid

Explanation:

Research scientists of scotland discovered a new state of the matter which consists of both liquid and solid. Scientifically there are three states of matter i.e Solid, Liquid and Gas, but now there are chances of one more state of matter which which consists of more than one state of the existing three states of the matter which have both liquid and solid state.

This discovery took place with the help of artificial intelligence of today's world which is transforming the world day by day.

The State is considered to be true as it is thermodynamically stable state of the matter.
