Answer:

Electronegativity, symbolized as χ, is the tendency for an atom of a given chemical element to attract shared electrons (or electron density) when forming a chemical bond. An atom's electronegativity is affected by both its atomic number and the distance at which its valence electrons reside from the charged nucleus.

Answer:

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract shared electrons to itself. On the periodic table, electronegativity generally increases as you move from left to right across a period and decreases as you move down a group.

Students were investigating properties of matter, but wanted to make sure that when they tested these properties they had proper

Mariana [72]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

An intrinsic property is a property that is internal, that is, it characterizes the substance under study. The possession of an intrinsic property depends on the nature of the substance. An intrinsic property does not depend on amount of substance but on the nature of the substance.

Examples of intrinsic properties include; Density. Solubility, Melting Point, Freezing Point, Boiling Point, Conductivity etc.

Intrinsic properties really represent the matter that is being studied. For instance, the boiling point of water will always be 100°c. No other liquid can boil exactly at that temperature. Hence, this intrinsic property can always be used to identify an unknown liquid as water.

The students were right, studying intrinsic properties accurately represent the matter that is being studied.

For the following electrochemical reaction: Al3+(aq) + 3e -> Al(s) Eº = -1.66 V E° = 2.87 F2(g) + 2e -> 2F (aq) Calculate

makvit [3.9K]

<u>Answer:</u> The standard electrode potential of the cell is 4.53 V.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

$E^o_{(F_2/F^-)}=2.87V\\E^o_{(Al^{3+}/Al)}=-1.66V$

The substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, fluorine will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.

Aluminium will undergo oxidation reaction and will get oxidized.

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

$E^o_{cell}=2.87-(-1.66)=4.53V$

Hence, the standard electrode potential of the cell is 4.53 V.

State the oxidation number assigned to each bold element in the formula: NH4+1 a 3 b -3 c -1 d 6

Leya [2.2K]

The fomula is NH4 (1+)

There are only two elements N and H.

As per oxidation state rules, the most electronegative element will have a negative oxidation state and the other element will have a positive oxidation state.

N is more electronative than H, so H will have a positive oxidation state and nitrogen will have a negative oxidation state.

You can also use the rule that states the hydrogen mostly has 1+ oxidation state,except when it is bonded to metals.

In conclusion the oxidation state of H in NH4 (1+) is 1+.

Now you must know that the sum of the oxidations states equals the charge of the ion, which in this case is 1+.

That implies that 4* (1+) + x = 1+

=> x = (1+) - 4(+) = 3-

Answer: the oxidation state of N is 3-, that is the option b.
