Answer:

Hg(NO3)2

Explanation:

Hg occurs both as Hg(I) and Hg(II) but nitrate is -1, not -2 We NORMALLY use the smallest set of subscripts but in the case of Hg(I) compounds, most of them are dimeric. Hg2Cl2, Hg2(NO3)2, etc. Note that there also is a mercury(II) nitrate; i.e., Hg(NO3)2. Therefore, although the empirical formula for mercury(I) nitrate is HgNO3, the molecular formula is Hg2(NO3)2 anf I was always encouraged to write the molecular formula instead of the empirical formula.

Hope this helps! Feel free to shoot me any questions <3

Which element in each of the following sets would you expect to have the lowest IE₃?

AysviL [449]

Answer:

(a) AL

(b) Sc

(c)Al

Explanation:

Ionization Energy is the energy required to remove electrons from the outer most orbitals of atom.

The higher the electron is on energy level the farther its from nucleus and more loosely bonded thus need lesser energy.

By looking at electron configuration we can figure out which electron will need more energy.

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶,4s², 3d¹

Na₁₁ ⇒ 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s¹

Mg₁₂ ⇒ 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s²

Al₁₃ ⇒ 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 2p¹

Al will have lowest IE₃ as its third electron will be in highest energy level and more loosely bonded to nucleus.

K₁₉⇒1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶,4s²

Ca₂₀⇒1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶,4s²

Sc₂₁⇒1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶,4s², 3d¹

Sc will have lowest IE₃ as its third electron will be in highest energy level and more loosely bonded to nucleus.

Li₃ ⇒ 1s², 2s¹

Al₁₃ ⇒ 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 2p¹

B₅ ⇒ 1s², 2s², 2p¹

Al will have lowest IE₃ as its third electron will be in highest energy level and more loosely bonded to nucleus.

. Write the balanced equation, then outline the steps necessary to determine the information requested in each of the following:

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) The equation of the reaction is;

2Na + Cl2 ------>2NaCl

Number of moles of sodium = 10g/23 g/mol = 0.43 moles

If 2 moles of sodium reacts with 1 mole of Cl2

0.43 moles reacts with 0.43 * 1/2 = 0.215 moles of Cl2

Mass = 0.215 moles of Cl2 *71 g/mol = 15.265 g

b) Equation of the reaction;

HgO -> Hg + O2

1.252 moles of HgO 1.252/32 gmol = 0.039 moles

1 mole of HgO yields 1 mole of oxygen hence

0.039 moles of HgO yields 0.039 moles of oxygen

Mass of oxygen = 0.039 moles * 32 g/mol = 1.248 g

c) Equation of the reaction;

2NaNO3 -----> 2NaNO2 + O2

Number of moles of 128 g of oxygen = 128g/32 g/mol = 4 moles

2 moles of NaNO3 yields 1 mole of oxygen

x moles of NaNO3 yields 4 moles of oxygen

x = 8 moles of NaNo3

Mass of NaNO3 = 8 * 85 g/mol = 680 g of NaNo3

construct the lewis structure of oo . draw the structure by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds. include al

ankoles [38]

In Lewis dot structures, you draw the atom in the center and then surround the atom with its valence electrons. The Lewis structure for O is as shown in the attached diagram.

<h3>What is the Lewis structure of O ?</h3>

Lewis Structure of an atom of oxygen contains 6 electrons in the valence shell. Four valence electrons exist in lone pairs. It implies that oxygen atom must participate in two single bonds or one double bond in order to have an octet configuration.

A simplified representation of the valence shell electrons in a molecule is called Lewis Structure. It shows how electrons are arranged around individual atoms in the molecule.

There are three competing factors at play here: 1. The effective nuclear charge 2. The size of the atom and the force of attract

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

These three factors are required for ionization potential or ionization energy.

Explanation:

Ionization potential refers to the amount of energy which is required for the removal of outermost electron of the atom. If the atom size is big so the outermost electron is far from the nucleus and low energy is required for its removal due to lower force of attraction between nucleus and outermost electron. If the nuclear charge is higher, so the electron is tightly held by the nucleus and require more energy for its removal. Nuclear charge means number of protons present in the nucleus.
