When atoms gain electrons, they can become larger, because the addition of an electron increases electrostatic repulsion.

Chemistry

Answer:True

Explanation: An anion has a larger radius than a neutral atom because it gains valence electrons. There are added electron/electron repulsions in the valence shell that expand the size of the electron cloud, which results in a larger radius for the anion.

hit the crown for me pls :)

Have a great day

raketka [301]
It is the work of J.J Thomson that directly resulted in the development of an atomic model that has negative electrons stuck within a sea of positive material. His proposal was called the plum pludding model. He is the one who discovered electrons.

Many important biochemicals are organic acids, such as pyruvic acid ( p K a = 2.50 ) and lactic acid ( p K a = 3.86 ) . The conj
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Pyruvic acid: conjugate base

Lactic acid: conjugate base

Explanation:

The ratio of conjugate base to conjugate acid can be found using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation when the pH and pKa are known.

pH = pKa + log([A⁻]/[HA])

The equation can be rearranged to solve for the ratio:

pH - pKa = log([A⁻]/[HA])

[A⁻]/[HA] = 10^(pH-pKa)

Now we can calculate the ratio for the pyruvic acid:

[A⁻]/[HA] = 10^(pH-pKa) = 10^(7.4 - 2.50) = 79433

[A⁻] = 79433[HA]

There is a much higher concentration of the conjugate base.

Similarly for lactic acid:

[A⁻]/[HA] = 10^(pH-pKa) = 10^(7.4 - 3.86) = 3467

[A⁻] = 3467[HA]

For lactic acid the conjugate base also dominates at pH 7.4
