Answer:
electron-electron repulsion
Explanation:
When electrons add into valence shell of neutral elements, the element assumes a negative oxidation state. With this, the number of electrons having (-) charges will be larger than the number of protons having positive (+) charges. As a result, the extra electrons repel one another (i.e., like charges repel) and a larger radius is the result.
In contrast, when cations are formed, electrons are removed from the valence level (oxidation) producing an element having a greater number of protons than electrons. The larger number of protons will function to attract the electron cloud with a greater force that results in a contraction of atomic radius and a smaller spherical volume than the neutral unionized element.
To visualize, see attached chart that shows atomic and ionic radii before and after ionization of the elements.
Answer: 0.405g
Explanation:
Molar Mass of Be = 9g/mol
Number of mole of Be = 0.045mol
Mass conc. Of Be = 0.045 x 9 = 0.405g
Answer:
1.12M
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Volume of solution = 2.5L
Mass of Calcium phosphate = 600g
Unknown:
Concentration = ?
Solution:
Concentration is the number of moles of solute in a particular solution.
Now, we find the number of moles of the calcium phosphate from the given mass;
Formula of calcium phosphate = Ca₃PO₄
molar mass = 3(40) + 31 + 4(16) = 215g/mol
Number of moles of Ca₃PO₄ = 
= 2.79moles
Now;
Concentration = 
Concentration = 
= 1.12M
Answer:
The charged carbon atom of a carbocation has a complete octet of valence shell electrons
Explanation:
A charged carbon atom of a carbocation has a valence shell that is not filled, <u>that's why it acts as an electrophile (or a Lewis base)</u>. This unfilled valence shell is also the reason of the nucleophilic attack that takes place during the second step of a SN1 reaction.
