Why is it impossible to have an undiscovered element that would fit between sodium and magnesuim

Chemistry
1 answer:
Stolb23 [73]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Sodium has 11 protons and Magnesium has 12. The way that the periodic table is set up doesn't allow for any elements to be in between. The element would have to have 11.5 protons, which is impossible

A student thinks that halogens are highly reactive because their electrons are weakly attracted to their nuclei. Which is eviden
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: Halogens tend to attract electrons when bonding (Option C)

Explanation: Halogens being non metals have greater electronegativities hence, attract electrons and making the statement disputed. Nobel gases are highly stable; this explains why they are nonreactive. They do not form chemical bonds because they only have a little tendency to either gain or lose an electron; on the other hand, halogens are reactive because they only need one additional electron to complete their octet.

why is uranium 235 the most commonly used isotope for nuclear fission in current uses in nuclear power generation?
Pachacha [2.7K]
This is because U-235 decays naturally by a process known as alpha radiation. This means that it releases an alpha particle (two neutrons and two protons connected together).
Another reason that U-235 is ideal for producing nuclear power is that unlike most materials, U-235 can undergo induced fission. When a free neutron collides with a U-235 nucleus, the nucleus will usually capture the neutron and split extremely quickly. The splitting of a single U-235 atom can release roughly 200 MeV (million electron volts).

Reaction 1: Solid sodium hydroxide dissolves in water to form an aqueous solution of ions. ????????????H(????) → ????????+(?????
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Hi, here is a basic summary of what we did in a lab; there were 3 reactions: The procedure: Reaction 1: Solid sodium hydroxide dissolves in water to form an aqueous solution of ions. NaOH(s)-> Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) ΔH1=-34.121kJ Reaction 2: Solid sodium hydroxide reacts with an aqueous solution of HCl to form water and an aqueous solution of sodium chloride. NaOH(s) + H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) -> H2O + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ΔH2=-83.602kJ Reaction 3: An aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide reacts with an aqueous solution of HCl to form water an an aqueous solution of sodium chloride. H+(aq) + OH-(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) -> H2O + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ΔH3= -50.2kJ The ΔH values were calculated by dividing the heat gained by the number of moles (each reaction had 0.05moles of NaOH) The problem: Net ionic equations for reaction 2 & 3: 2: NaOH(s) + H+(aq) -> H2O + Na+(aq) 3: H+(aq) + OH-(aq) -> H2O i) In reaction 1, ΔH1 represents the heat evolved as solid NaOH dissolves. Look at the net ionic equations for reactions 2 and 3 and make similar statements as to what ΔH2 and ΔH3 represent. ii) Compare ΔH2 with (ΔH1 + ΔH3). Explain in sentences the similarity between these two values by using your answer to #5 above. Attempt at answering: i) Firstly, ΔH2 represents the heat evolved as the hydrogen ion displaces the sodium ion, creating a single displacement reaction. ΔH3 represents the heat evolved as the hydrogen and hydroxide ion form water via a neutralization reaction. ii) ΔH2 is equal to (or supposed to be, this is a source of error while calculating) (ΔH1 + ΔH3). The similarity between these two values is that .. (this is where I get confused!)
