6 0

In 1803AD, Osmium was discovered by Smithson Tennant when dissolving an impure sample of platinum in aqua regia, a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids. He was able to determine that the black powder left behind after dissolving the platinum was actually a mixture of two new elements, indium and osmium.

•Osmium is a bluish-white and shiny metal.

•Osmium is very hard and is brittle even at very high temperatures.

•Osmium has the lowast vapor pressure and the highest melting point among the platinum group of metals.

•Osmium's density is slightly more than iridium hence is credited as the heaviest element.

The strength of a covalent bond depends upon the size of the atoms and the bond order. In general short bonds are strong bonds.1

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Bond energy of (A) C≡C > (B) C=C

and, (C) C=N > (D) C-N

Explanation:

Bond energy refers to the amount of energy required to break a bond or the energy released when a bond is formed. Bond energy of a covalent bond suggests the bond strength of the chemical bond and depends on the bond length and bond order of the chemical bond.

The bond energy of a chemical bond increases with the bond order and decreases with the bond length. As, length of a bond decreases with increase in the bond order.

First pair: (A) C≡C (B) C=C

The bond order of C≡C - 3, the bond order of C=C - 2

Since the bond order: C≡C > C=C

Bond length: C≡C < C=C

Therefore, bond energy of (A) C≡C > (B) C=C

Second pair: (C) C=N (D) C-N

The bond order of C=N - 2, the bond order of C-N - 1

Since the bond order: C=N > C-N

Bond length: C=N < C-N

Therefore, bond energy of (C) C=N > (D) C-N

Last question help im confusion

Andrej [43]

Remark

The given thing on the right is a positron. The mass for these subatomic particles is considered to be 0. It's atomic number is 1 which means it is a blood relative of a proton.

So essentially what happens is that X is one space to the left on the periodic table. But let's solve this a little bit more formally.

Solution

$_{65}^{147}\text{Tb}\longrightarrow _{z}^{y}\text{x} +_{1}^{0}{e}$

y stays the same at 147. It is z that changes.

65 = z + 1 Subtract 1 from both sides.

64 = z

So the chemical with 64 as its position on the periodic table is

A scientist was studying a population of elephants. The first year, he counted a population of 80. Over the next eight

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The carrying capacity of this population would be 125 we know this because we see that this number occur multiple times and seems to be the tipping point after which the number of the population always go down

Which of the following atoms has the greatest atomic radius? Oxygen (o) fluorine (F) Chlorine (CL) Carbon (C)

Andrei [34K]

Periodic Trend:

The Atomic radius of atoms generally decreases from left to right across a period

Group Trend:

The atomic radius of atoms generally increases from top to bottom within a group. As atomic number increases down a group, there is a increase in the positive nuclear charge, however the co-occurring increase in the number of orbitals wins out, increasing the atomic radius down a group in the periodic table

Answer :

The Atom with the greatest atomic radius is chlorine. Fluorine can be ruled out because it is in the same period as oxygen and further to the right down the period. Chlorine has the largest atomic size because it is farthest down the group of any of the above elements listed.
