What is responsible for the sharp decrease in ionization energy between the elements with 2 and 3 atomic number? 10 and 11?

Chemistry

PSYCHO15rus [73]2 years ago
6 0
An extra shell, which means further distance between those electrons in the valence shell and the nucleus. Ionisation energy refers to the energy required to remove valence electrons. There will be more energy required if the valence electrons are closer to the nucleus that have a positive charge, because of more attraction. If there is an extra shell, there is further distance, less attraction and hence less energy required.

As you move upward, from level, in an energy pyramid, available energy ____.
svetlana [45]

The available energy decreases as one moves upward in an energy pyramid.

<h3>Energy pyramid</h3>

The energy pyramid represents a model of how energy is transferred from one trophic level to another in ecosystems.

Energy is transferred from producers to primary consumers, from primary to secondary consumers, from secondary to tertiary consumers, and so on.

Only about 10% of the available energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next with the remaining 90% being lost as heat to the environment.

Thus, as one moves up the energy pyramid, the available energy decreases. This is why organisms at the higher end of the energy pyramid have to devise an efficient way of extracting energy from their foods.

What is the predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds: hydrogen fluoride (HF), carbon tetr
telo118 [61]

Answer:

HF - hydrogen bonding

CBr4 - Dispersion

NF3 - Dipole-dipole

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom such as fluorine, chlorine nitrogen, oxygen etc. Hence the dominant intermolecular force in HF is hydrogen bonding.

CBr4 is nonpolar because the molecule is tetrahedral and the individual C-Br dipole moments cancel out leaving the molecule with a zero dipole moment hence the dominant intermolecular force are the dispersion forces.

NF3 has a resultant dipole moment hence the molecules are held together by dipole-dipole interaction.

You shake a can of soda and open it, which cause the pressure to decrease. what happens to the volume of the CO2. the soda​
navik [9.2K]

Answer: <em>When you take the top off of a bottle of soda, the pressure inside the bottle decreases and goes to the same pressure as the atmosphere. When that happens the carbon dioxide inside is no longer forced to be a liquid and turns back into a gas, causing the bubbles that we're so familiar with.</em>

Explanation:

However, producing foaming carbon dioxide gas by shaking a bottle of soda water is a physical change, while producing foaming carbon dioxide gas by combining baking soda and vinegar is a chemical change. ... Because no chemical bonds are broken and no new molecules are formed, this is a physical change in the system.
