The carbon atom is uniquely suited to building large molecules primarily because of its valence electron count of 4 - which means it can bound up to 4 atoms (single bonds) simultaneously. Also, it has a relatively low molecular weight and the best part is that it forms covalent
bonds (stable, high
energy bonds) with other, non-metallic atoms.
<span>When electrons are excited they get more energy and jump to higher orbitals. As they loose that energy that had excited them in the beginning, they tend to return to their original orbitals and the color that is given off is when this is occurring. </span>
Answer:
The elements on the left-side of the periodic table are relatively electron deficient. So due to their comparatively low effective nuclear charges (the net positive charge of the protons minus the shielding core electrons below the valence level), their electrostatic hold on these electrons are weak.
Elements further right on the period table though, have higher effective nuclear charges and stabilize electrons more effectively. Which leads to localized covalent bonding and the formation of molecules.
The right side contains non metals while the left side contains metals.
Metals lose electrons (negative electrons). They now have more protons, therefore making the ion positive.
Non metals gain electrons (positive electrons). So the ion has more electrons than protons which makes the ion negative.
Assuming that the reaction from A and C to AC5 is only
one-step (or an elementary reaction) with a balanced chemical reaction of:
<span>A + 5 C ---> AC5 </span>
Therefore the formation constant can be easily calculated
using the following formula for formation constant:
Kf = product of products concentrations / product of reactants
concentration
<span>Kf = [AC5] / [A] [C]^5 </span>
---> Any coefficient from the balanced chemical
reaction becomes a power in the formula
Substituting the given values into the equation:
Kf = 0.100 M / (0.100 M) (0.0110 M)^5
Kf = 6,209,213,231
or in simpler terms
<span>Kf = 6.21 * 10^9 (ANSWER)</span>
