Carbon and silicon are tetravalent but ge sn pb show di valency. Why

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anuta_ua [19.1K]3 years ago
4 0

<u>Answer:</u>

Carbon and silicon both are tetravalent elements as compared to germanium, tin, and lead which are divalent.

That's because Ge, tin, and Pb show inert pair effect and has a greater nuclear effective charge on the 's' electrons due to poor shielding effect.  .That's why these elements are not able to share their valence electrons while carbon and silicon does and show "catenation" which is the ability to form long chain molecules.

15. Within a voltaic cell,___
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

B. oxidation; reduction

Explanation:

A voltaic cell is electro-chemical cell in which chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.

1. This cell utilizes chemical reaction to generate electric.\

2. there two electrode anode and cathode

3. At Anode oxidation occurs

4. At cathode reduction occurs

5. chemical is present in the cell which is electrolyte which completes the circuit of the voltaic cell.

  • oxidation is the process in which there is loss of electrons
  • Reduction is the process in which there is gain of electrons

___________________________________________________

Based on above discussion

At anode oxidation takes place

At cathode reduction takes place.

Hence, correct option is B. oxidation; reduction

What is the mass of KOH found in a 785 mL of a 1.43 M solution of KOH
My name is Ann [436]

Molarity is defined as the ratio of number of moles to the volume of solution in litres.

The mathematical expression is given as:

Molarity = \frac{Number of moles}{volume of solution in litres}

Here, molarity is equal to 1.43 M and volume is equal to 785 mL.

Convert mL into L

As, 1 mL = 0.001 L

Thus, volume = 785\times 0.001 = 0.785 L

Rearrange the formula of molarity in terms of number of moles:

Number of moles =molarity\times volume of solution in litres

n = 1.43 M \times 0.785 L

= 1.12255 mole

Now,  Number of moles  = \frac{mass in g}{molar mass}

Molar mass of potassium hydroxide  = 56.10 g/mol

1.12255 mole  = \frac{mass in g}{56.10 g/mol}

mass in g = 1.12255 mole\times 56.10 g/mol

= 62.97 g

Hence, mass of KOH = 62.97 g

Heat and pressure deep in the earth change shale to slate. Why does this happen?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Because of the ground above and the molten iron core.

Explanation:

As you go deeper into the earth you have more and more of the earth above you that applies pressure on you. The heat near the very top of the plate is relatively low and it decreases by a little as you go down. But once you start to go down into the earth by hundreds of meters then the temperature starts to rise and it rises pretty quickly due to the heat being transferred from the molten iron outer core of the earth.
