The chart below gives the atomic number and mass number of two elements.

Rank the following elements by effective nuclear charge, Zeff, for a valence electron. F LI Be B N

Stels [109]

Answer:

Rank in increasing order of effective nuclear charge:

Li < Be < B < N < F

Explanation:

This explains the meaning of effective nuclear charge, Zeff, how to determine it, and the calculations for a valence electron of each of the five given elements: F, Li, Be, B, and N.

1) Effective nuclear charge definitions

While the total positive charge of the atom nucleus (Z) is equal to the number of protons, the electrons farther away from the nucleus experience an effective nuclear charge (Zeff) less than the total nuclear charge, due to the fact that electrons in between the nucleus and the outer electrons partially cancel the atraction from the nucleus.

Such effect on on a valence electron is estimated as the atomic number less the number of electrons closer to the nucleus than the electron whose effective nuclear charge is being determined: Zeff = Z - S.

2) Z eff for a F valence electron:

F's atomic number: Z = 9
Total number of electrons: 9 (same numer of protons)
Period: 17 (search in the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
Number of valence electrons: 7 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 9 - 7 = 2
Zeff = Z - S = 9 - 2 = 7

3) Z eff for a Li valence eletron:

Li's atomic number: Z = 3
Total number of electrons: 3 (same number of protons)
Period: 1 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
Number of valence electrons: 1 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 3 - 1 = 2
Z eff = Z - S = 3 - 2 = 1.

4) Z eff for a Be valence eletron:

Be's atomic number: Z = 4
Total number of electrons: 4 (same number of protons)
Period: 2 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
Number of valence electrons: 2 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 4 - 2 = 2
Z eff = Z - S = 4 - 2 = 2

5) Z eff for a B valence eletron:

B's atomic number: Z = 5
Total number of electrons: 5 (same number of protons)
Period: 13 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
Number of valence electrons: 3 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 5 - 3 = 2
Z eff = Z - S = 5 - 2 = 3

6) Z eff for a N valence eletron:

N's atomic number: Z = 7
Total number of electrons: 7 (same number of protons)
Period: 15 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
Number of valence electrons: 5 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 7 - 5 = 2
Z eff = Z - S = 7 - 2 = 5

7) Summary (order):

Be 2

B 3

N 5

Conclusion: the order is Li < Be < B < N < F

How many moles of h2o are produced when using 7 moles of h2

Olenka [21]

1) Write the balaced chemical equation:

H2 + 2O2 → 2H2O

2) Infere the molar ratios:

1 mol H2 : 2 mol of water

3) Make the calculus as the direct proportion relation:

[2 mol H2O] / [1 mol H2] * 7 mol H2 = 14 mol H2

As you see you produce the double number of moles of H2O than number of moles of H2 used.

Answer: 14 moles

You find apiece of limestone on ahike. what substances are likely to have formed that rock?

enyata [817]

Limestone is mainly made up of calcium carbonate, CaCO3. When it is heated, it breaks down to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Calcium oxide reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide. But if u wanna know how it is formed? It's formed by erosion and weathering which is a type of 'Sedimentary Rock'. Erosion and weathering, carried rocks and end up at the sea or ocean. Which is the end way to go! At there, rocks combined by adding more and more just under the sea. The combination of rocks made it harden. First, it was just small little eroded particles end up at the sea. But at last, it became a very hard rock which isn't easy to break!

Which linkages in starch and triglycerides result from condensation reactions? glycosidic bonds in starch and ester bonds in tri

bogdanovich [222]

Glycosidic bonds in starch and ester bonds in triglycerides. The glycosidic bond is considered to be the covalent synthetic bonds that connection ring-molded sugar particles to different atoms. The frame by a buildup response between a liquor or amine of one particle and the anomeric carbon of the sugar, and hence, might be O-connected or N-connected.

Your chemistry lab partner is interested in studying how industrial chemicals can pollute the environment. What type of chemistr

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

I would recommend them becoming an Analytical Chemist because Analytical Chemists examine and identify various elements and compounds to find out the composition, structure, and nature of substances and they determine the concentration of chemical pollutants in soil, water,and air. I would recommend taking inorganic, organic, analytical, and physical chemistry as well as computer science, physics, and environmental science
