Why do elements in the same group have similar physical and chemical properties

Chemistry
1 answer:
Inessa [10]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Each element within a group has similar physical or chemical properties because of its atom's outermost electron shell (most chemical properties are dominated by the orbital location of the outermost electron).

The unit cell for cr2o3 has hexagonal symmetry with lattice parameters a = 0.4961 nm and c = 1.360 nm. If the density of this ma
IRINA_888 [86]

To calculate the packing factor, first calculate the area and volume of unit cell.

Area is calculated as:

A=6R^{2}\sqrt{3}

Here, R is radius and is related to a as follows:

R=\frac{a}{2}

Putting the value in expression for area,

A=6(\frac{a}{2})^{2}\sqrt{3}=1.5a^{2}\sqrt{3}

The value of a is 0.4961 nm

Since, 1 nm=10^{-7}cm

Thus, 0.4961 nm=4.961\times 10^{-8} cm

Putting the value,

Area=1.5(4.961\times 10^{-8}cm)^{2}\sqrt{3}=6.39\times 10^{-15}cm^{2}

Now, volume can be calculated as follows:

V=Area\times c

The value of c is 1.360 nm or 1.360\times 10^{-7} cm

Putting the value,

V=(6.39\times 10^{-15}cm^{2})\times (1.360\times 10^{-7} cm)=8.7\times 10^{-22}cm^{3}

now, number of atom in unit cell can be calculated by using the following formula:

n=\frac{\rho N_{A}V_{c}}{A}

Here, A is atomic mass of Cr_{2}O_{3} is 151.99 g/mol.

Putting all the values,

n=\frac{(5.22 g/cm^{3})(6.023\times 10^{23} mol^{-1})(8.7\times 10^{-22}cm^{3})}{(151.99 g/mol)}\approx 18

Thus, there will be 18 Cr_{2}O_{3} units in 1 unit cell.

Since, there are 2 Cr atoms and 3 oxygen atoms thus, units of chromium and oxygen will be 2×18=36 and 3×18=54 respectively.

The atomic radii of Cr^{3+} and O^{2-} is 62 pm and 140 pm respectively.

Converting them into cm:

1 pm=10^{-10}cm

Thus,

r_{Cr^{3+}}=6.2\times 10^{-9}cm

and,

r_{O^{2-}}=1.4\times 10^{-8}cm

Volume of sphere will be sum of volume of total number of cations and anions thus,

V_{S}=V_{Cr^{3+}}+V_{O^{2-}}

Since, volume of sphere is V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3},

V_{S}=36\left ( \frac{4}{3}\pi (r_{Cr^{3+})^{3}} \right )+54\left ( \frac{4}{3}\pi (r_{O^{2-})^{3}} \right )

Putting the values,

V_{S}=36\left ( \frac{4}{3}(3.14) (6.2\times 10^{-9} cm)^{3}} \right )+54\left ( \frac{4}{3}(3.14) (1.4\times 10^{-8} cm)^{3}} \right )=6.6\times 10^{-22}\times 10^{-8}cm^{3}

The atomic packing factor is ratio of volume of sphere and volume of crystal, thus,

packing factor=\frac{V_{S}}{V_{C}}=\frac{6.6\times 10^{-22}cm^{3}}{8.7\times 10^{-22}cm^{3}}=0.758

Thus, atomic packing factor is 0.758.

What is the potential energy of the bowling ball as it sits on top of the building?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Potential energy is energy due to an object's height above the ground.

Potential energy = mass x gravity x height

Kinetic energy is energy due to the motion of the object.

Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity²

Why does nitrogen have stronger attractive forces between its nucleus and valence electrons than phosphorus?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Nitrogen atom is small in size than phosphorus thus the bond between its nucleus and valence electrons are stronger than phosphorus.
