4. Why does the metallic character of the alkaline earth metals increase as you go down the

Chemistry

As you proceed down the periodic table, the metallic character becomes stronger. This is because as the atomic radius increases, there is less attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons due to the greater distance between them, making electrons simpler to shed.

The attraction between molecules of methane in the liquid state is primarily due to
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Attraction between molecules of methane in liquid state is primarily due to "London dispersion force".

Explanation:

Methane is a non-polar and aprotic molecule. Hence there is no dipole moment in methane as well as no chance of hydrogen bonding formation by methane.

We know that all molecules contain electrons. Therefore transient dipole arises in every molecule due to revolution of electrons around nucleus in a non-circular orbit. Hence an weak intermolecular attraction force is always present in every molecule as a result of this which is termed as "London dispersion force".

So, attraction between molecules of methane in liquid state is primarily due to "London dispersion force".

Write electron configurations for each of the following. the cations: Mg2+,Sn2+,K+,Al3+,Tl+,As3+
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

  • Mg⁺² ⇒ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶
  • Sn²⁺ ⇒ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ 5s² 4d¹⁰
  • K⁺ ⇒ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶
  • Al³⁺ ⇒ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶
  • Ti⁺ ⇒ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁶ 4f¹⁴ 6s² 5d¹⁰
  • As⁺³ ⇒ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s²

Explanation:

The <em>electron configuration</em> indicates the way the electrons of an atom or ion are structured.<u> In the case of cations</u>, by knowing the electronic configuration of the atom (which is neutral), we can find out the cations' configuration by substracting <em>n</em> outermost electrons, where <em>n</em> is the charge of the cation.

Mg⁰ ⇒ [Ne] 3s² = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s². Thus

Mg⁺² ⇒ [Ne] = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

In a similar fashion, the answers are:

Sn²⁺ ⇒ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ 5s² 4d¹⁰

K⁺ ⇒ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

Al³⁺ ⇒ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

Ti⁺ ⇒ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁶ 4f¹⁴ 6s² 5d¹⁰

As⁺³ ⇒ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s²
