Which ion below would have the smallest radius? Na+ Mg2+ 02- F

Chemistry
1 answer:
nadezda [96]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

F, Fluorine

Explanation:

Na^+ and Mg^2+ have both lost enough electrons to bring their electron shells to that of Neon, Ne.  (1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6)

O^2- gained 2 electrons to also conform to neon's electron configuration.

F still retains its 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^5 configuration, which would result in a slightly smaller radius as the 2p^5 electrons can pack slightly closer to the nucleus before being repelled by the negative charge of their neighboring electrons.

Given the equation Ca + H2O --> Ca(OH)2 + H2 how many grams of calcium will react completely with 10.0 grams of water? *
Yuki888 [10]

Answer: 11.0 g of calcium will react with 10.0 grams of water.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

moles of H_2O

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{10.0g}{18g/mol}=0.55moles

The balanced chemical equation is:

Ca+2H_2O\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2+H_2

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of H_2O require = 1 mole of Ca

Thus 0.55 moles of H_2O require=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.55=0.275moles  of Ca  

Mass of Ca=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.275moles\times 40g/mol=11g

Thus 11.0 g of calcium will react with 10.0 grams of water.

What is a positive ion?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

If the atom has more electrons than protons, it is a negative ion or ANION. If it has more protons than electrons, it is a positive ion.

Explanation:

Positive ions are typically metals or act like metals. Many common materials contain these ions. Mercury is found in thermometers, for instance, and aluminum is a metal that is found in a surprising amount of things.

When light is shown on a mixture of chlorine and chloromethane, carbon tetrachloride is one of the components of the final react
velikii [3]

A free-radical substitution reaction is likely to be responsible for the observations. The reaction mechanism of a reaction like this can be grouped into three phases:

  • Initiation; the "light" on the mixture deliver sufficient amount of energy such that the halogen molecules undergo homologous fission. It typically takes ultraviolet radiation to initiate fissions of the bonds.  
  • Propagation; free radicals react with molecules to produce new free radicals and molecules.
  • Termination; two free radicals combine and form covalent bonds to produce stable molecules. Note that it is possible for two carbon-containing free-radicals to combine, leading to the production of trace amounts of long carbon chains in the product.

Initiation

\text{Cl}-\text{Cl} \stackrel{\text{UV}}{\to} \text{Cl}\bullet + \bullet\text{Cl}

where the big black dot indicates unpaired electrons attached to the atom.

Propagation

\text{CH}_3\text{Cl}+ \text{Cl}\bullet \to \bullet\text{CH}_2\text{Cl} + \text{HCl}

\bullet\text{CH}_2\text{Cl} + \text{Cl}_2 \to \text{CH}_2\text{Cl}_2 + \text{Cl}\bullet

\text{CH}_2\text{Cl}_2 + \text{Cl}\bullet \to \bullet\text{CHCl}_2 + \text{HCl}

\bullet\text{CHCl}_2+ \text{Cl}_2 \to \text{CHCl}_3 + \bullet \text{Cl}

\text{CHCl}_3 + \text{Cl}\bullet \to \bullet\text{CCl}_3 + \text{HCl}

\bullet\text{CCl}_3 + \text{Cl}_2 \to \text{CCl}_4 + \text{Cl}\bullet

Termination

\text{Cl}\bullet + \bullet\text{Cl} \to \text{Cl}-\text{Cl}
