Answer:

In nature the atoms of noble gases do not bond either with other gases or with each other. Helium exists as atoms of Helium not as diatomic molecules. Some of the larger noble gases can be made to form molecules. This does not normally happen in natural conditions.

Explanation:Noble gases are odorless, colorless, nonflammable, and monotonic gases that have low chemical reactivity. The full valence electron shells of these atoms make noble gases extremely stable and unlikely to form chemical bonds because they have little tendency to gain or lose electrons.

Enough of a monoprotic weak acid is dissolved in water to produce a 0.0144 0.0144 M solution. The pH of the resulting solution i

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The value of dissociation constant of the monoprotic acid is $1.099\times 10^{-3}$ .

Explanation:

The pH of the solution = 2.46

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

$2.46=-\log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=0.003467 M$

$HA\rightleftharpoons H^++A^-$

Initially

0.0144 0 0

At equilibrium

(0.0144-x) x x

The expression if an dissociation constant is given by :

$K_a=\frac{[A^-][H^+]}{[HA]}$

$K_a=\frac{x\times x}{(0.0144-x)}$

$x=[H^+]=0.003467 M$

$K_a=\frac{0.003467 \times 0.003467 }{(0.0144-0.003467 )}$

$K_a=1.099\times 10^{-3}$

The value of dissociation constant of the monoprotic acid is $1.099\times 10^{-3}$ .

The equation, DF + heat Imported Asset D + F, is an example of an endothermic reaction.

zvonat [6]

The answer is TRUE.

If the Energy is on the left, then the problem is true. If it is on the right then it would be negative, false, and considered as exothermic.

Endothermic reaction = the products are higher in energy than the reactants.
Exothermic reaction = a chemical reaction that releases energy by light or heat.

Arrange the sublevels in ascending order by the number of electrons they can contain. p sublevel s sublevel d sublevel f subleve

inn [45]

Electronic configuration of the atom describes the arrangemnet of electrons in different shells and subshells ( sublevels).

Now , there are 4 types of sublevels: s, p , d and f . These sublevels have orbital which are spaces with high probability of having an electron and each orbital can have maximum 2 electrons.

Therefore,

s-sublevel has 1 orbital - it can have maximum 2 electrons.

p-sublevel has 3 orbitals - it can have maximum 6 electrons

d-sublevel has 5 orbitals - it can have maximum 10 electrons

f-sublevel has 7 orbitals - it can have maximum 14 electrons.

Hence, the acsending order of sublevels in terms of maximum number of electrons is:
