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

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

<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.

How many liters of 0.37 M solution can be made with 29.53 grams of lithium fluoride.<br> (LiF)?
dsp73

Answer:

V = 3.1 L      

Explanation:

Given data:

Molarity of solution = 0.37 M

Mass of LiF = 29.53 g

Volume of solution = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of LiF:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 29.53 g/ 25.94g/mol

Number of moles = 1.14 mol

Volume:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / Volume in L

0.37 M = 1.14 mol / V

V = 1.14 mol / 0.37 M

V = 3.1 L         (M = mol/L)

calculate the speed of an electron if its de broglie wavelength is twice its displacement in one second
valkas [14]

Answer:

The speed of an electron is 0.01908 m/s.

Explanation:

De-Broglie wavelength is given by:

\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}

where,  \lambda = wavelength of a particle

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

m = mass of particle

v = velocity of the particle

Velocity of an electron = v

Mass of an electron = 9.1\times 10^{-31}kg

Wavelength of electron is twice the displacement in seconds which is velocity of an electron.

Then.wavelength of an electron = \lambda =2v

\lambda =2v=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}Js}{9.1\times 10^{-31}kg\times v}

v = 0.01908 m/s

The speed of an electron is 0.01908 m/s.

How many chloride ions are in 2.6 moles of CaCl2?
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

31.31× 10²³ number of Cl⁻ are present in 2.6 moles of CaCl₂ .

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of CaCl₂ = 2.6 mol

Number of Cl₂ ions = ?

Solution:

CaCl₂  → Ca²⁺ + 2Cl⁻

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

In one mole of CaCl₂ there are two moles of chloride ions present.

In 2.6 mol:

2.6×2 = 5.2 moles

1 mole Cl⁻ =   6.022 × 10²³ number of Cl⁻ ions

5.2 mol ×  6.022 × 10²³ number of Cl⁻  / 1mol

31.31× 10²³ number of Cl⁻

If an element has 1 valence electrons, how many dots will be in the elements dot diagram?
gayaneshka [121]
The answer is one dot.

The number of dots an element has represented in the diagram, indicates how many valence eletrons( which is the number of electrons in the most exterior energy level of an atom or ion) the element has. So, 1 valence eletron equals one dot.
