Answer:
Density of unit cell ( rhodium) = 12.279 g/cm³
Explanation:
Given that:
The radius (r) of a rhodium atom = 135 pm
The atomic mass of rhodium = 102.90 amu
For a face-centered cubic unit cell,
where;
a = edge length.
Making "a" the subject of the formula:
a = 381.8 pm
to cm, we get:
a = 381.8 × 10⁻¹⁰ cm
However, recall that:
where;
mass of unit cell = mass of atom × numbers of atoms per unit cell
Also;
Recall also that number of atoms in a unit cell for a face-centered cubic = 4
So;
mass of unit cell = 6.83380375 × 10⁻²² g
Density of unit cell ( rhodium) = 12.279 g/cm³
Answer:
The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity
Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago
Explanation:
All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.
Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)
For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1
Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.
Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.
For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.
A base generally releases a hydroxide ion (OH-) when dissolved in water.
There are exceptions, such as ammonia NH3, which acts as a base but does not produce OH- ions. There are three definitions of acids and bases (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis) and each one looks at acid/base characteristics differently. OH- donation is the Arrhenius definition.
