Answer:

Explanation:

looking at a periodic table X is fluorine and Y is potassium

Fluorine is in group 7 and forms a 1- charge (which gains electrons) and potassium is in group 1 and forms a 1+ charge (which loses electrons)

Fluorine (X) has an electronic structure of 2,7 and needs to gain an electron from Potassium (Y) to have a full outer shell and potassium has an electronic structure of 2,8,8,1 so needs to lose an electron to have a full outer shell as well. This means that the electron that potassium (Y) has lost is given away to fluorine (X), so both elements become stable.

This is known as ionic bonding where metals (like potassium) lose electrons and non-metals (like fluorine) gain electrons to become more stable, forming ions

Any further clarification let me know

Write the charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion most likely to be formed by each:

Maru [420]

Answer :

(a) The charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion is, (+1) and $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

(b) The charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion is, (-3) and $1s^22s^22p^6$

(c) The charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion is, (-1) and $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

Explanation :

For the neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are equal. But, they are unequal when the atoms present in the form of ions or the atom has some charges.

When an unequal number of electrons and protons then it leads to the formation of ionic species.

Ion : An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.

When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.

When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.

(a) The given element is, Rb (Rubidium)

As we know that the rubidium element belongs to group 1 and the atomic number is, 37

The ground-state electron configuration of Rb is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^65s^1$

This element will easily loose 1 electron and form $Rb^+$ ion which attain stable noble gas electronic configuration.

The full ground-state electron configuration of Rb ion is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

(b) The given element is, N (Nitrogen)

As we know that the nitrogen element belongs to group 15 and the atomic number is, 7

The ground-state electron configuration of N is:

$1s^22s^22p^3$

This element will easily gain 3 electrons and form $N^{3-}$ ion which attain stable noble gas electronic configuration.

The full ground-state electron configuration of N ion is:

$1s^22s^22p^6$

(c) The given element is, Br (Bromine)

As we know that the bromine element belongs to group 17 and the atomic number is, 35

The ground-state electron configuration of Rb is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^5$

This element will easily gain 1 electron and form $Br^-$ ion which attain stable noble gas electronic configuration.

The full ground-state electron configuration of Br ion is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

Fritz-Haber process

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

5×10⁵ L of ammonia (NH3)

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

N2 + 3H2 —> 2NH3

From the balanced equation above, we can say that:

3 L of H2 reacted to produce 2 L of NH3.

Finally, we shall determine the volume of ammonia (NH3) produced by the reaction of 7.5×10⁵ L of H2. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

3 L of H2 reacted to produce 2 L of NH3.

Therefore, 7.5×10⁵ L of H2 will react to produce = (7.5×10⁵ × 2)/3 = 5×10⁵ L of NH3.

Thus, 5×10⁵ L of ammonia (NH3) is produced from the reaction.

Consider the reaction H2(g) + I2(g) <---> HI(g) with an equilibrium constant of 46.3 and a reaction quotient of 525. Which

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The equilibrium will shift to the left to favor the reactants.

Explanation:

Remember that the reaction quotient (Qc) is derived from initial concentrations of reactants and products. Since Qc is greater than Kc, this means that initial concentrations are heavily impacted by a high product concentration ([HI]). Therefore, the reverse reaction will occur and actually create more reactants again ([H2] and [I2]). Thus, the answer is that the equilibrium will shift to the left side to favor the reactants.
