Answer:

Explanation:

Dalton's Atomic Theory explained a lot about matter, chemicals, and chemical reactions. Nevertheless, it was not entirely accurate, because contrary to what Dalton believed, atoms can, in fact, be broken apart into smaller subunits or subatomic particles. We have been talking about the electron in great detail, but there are two other particles of interest to us: protons and neutrons. We already learned that J. J. Thomson discovered a negatively charged particle, called the electron. Rutherford proposed that these electrons orbit a positive nucleus. In subsequent experiments, he found that there is a smaller positively charged particle in the nucleus, called a proton. There is also a third subatomic particle, known as a neutron.

Ethylenediamine (en) forms an octahedral complex with Ni2+(aq) with the formula [Ni(en)3]2+. Ni2+(aq) + 3 en ⇌ [Ni(en)3]2+(aq) K

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

$3.125\times 10^{-19} mol/L$ is the concentration of $Ni^{2+}(aq)$ in the solution.

Explanation:

$Ni^{2+}(aq) + 3 en\rightleftharpoons [Ni(en)_3]^{2+}(aq)$

Concentration of nickel ion = $[Ni^{2+}]=x$

Concentration of nickel complex= $[[Ni(en)_3]^{2+}]=\frac{0.16 mol}{2 L}=0.08 mol/L$

Concentration of ethylenediamine = $[en]=\frac{0.80 mol}{2 L}=0.40 mol/L$

The formation constant of the complex = $K_f=4.0\times 10^{18}$

The expression of formation constant is given as:

$K_f=\frac{[[Ni(en)_3]^{2+}]}{[Ni^{2+}][en]^3}$

$4.0\times 10^{18}=\frac{0.08 mol/L}{x\times (0.40 mol/L)^3}$

$x=\frac{0.08 mol/L}{4.0\times 10^{18}\times (0.40 mol/L)^3}$

$x=3.125\times 10^{-19} mol/L$

$3.125\times 10^{-19} mol/L$ is the concentration of $Ni^{2+}(aq)$ in the solution.

Why are the three atoms are isotopes of magnesium

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Magnesium is a naturally ubiquitous; (appearing & found evrywhere) element and has three naturally occurring stable isotopes, 24Mg, 25Mg and 26Mg, with relative abundance of 78.99%, 10.00% and 11.01%, respectively.

However, they differ only because a 24Mg atom has 12 neutrons in its nucleus, a 25Mg atom has 13 neutrons, and a 26Mg has 14 neutrons.

Heavier noble gases are able to form compounds with other elements under specific conditions because their valence ____are farth

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Heavier noble gases are able to form compounds with other elements under specific conditions because their valence electrons are farther from the nucleus.

Explanation:

The name of noble or inert gas is due to the lack of reactivity with other elements. This is due to its electronic configuration, because its outermost shell or valence shell is always complete, without the need to share, give or receive electrons forming bonds. That is, its outer layer is so stable that the element tends not to react with others except in very specific cases.

These exceptions generally involve the heavier noble gases, such as xenon or radon, capable of forming compounds with fluorine and oxygen. This is because the heavier noble gases have more electron shells than the lighter ones. This characteristic causes the outermost electrons to experience a "shielding" effect due to the action of the inner electrons, and they can then be ionized more easily, since the attraction they receive from the positive charges of the nucleus is weaker. That makes the ionization energy low enough to form stable compounds with more electronegative elements, such as fluorine and oxygen.

An interpretation of the results of many tests is called A) an experiment. B) a prediction D) a theory

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

B) a prediction

Explanation:

It is not option A because an experiment is one or more tests to see the check of a phenomenon in certain circumstances.

The idea is to validate or refute a hypothesis.

It is not option C because one theory is based on many proven hypotheses.

The correct option is B, a prediction. It is the principle that will lead us to a theory.
