Describe the formation of ions by electron loss or gain

Ronch [10]

Explanation:

Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons. This is so that they form a full outer shell of electrons. When an atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, because electrons are negatively charged. For example, all halogens (group 7 or 17) form negative ions as they gain an electron forming a 1- charge. When an atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, as it is losing some negative charge from the electrons. This would be for example, alkali metals (group 1) which lose an electron to form a positive ion with a 1+ charge, (ALL metals form positive ions).

Group the following electron configurations in pairs that would represent similar chemical properties at their atoms;

marishachu [46]

Answer: Pairs are: (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

Explanation:

In a periodic table, elements are arranged in 18 vertical columns known as groups and 7 horizontal rows known as periods.

Elements arranged in a group show similar chemical properties because of the presence of same number of valence electrons.

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.

For the given options:

For a:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

For b:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^3$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

For c:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

For d:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^2$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

For e:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^6$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

For f:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

Electronic configuration of (a) and (d) will form a pair, (b) and (f) will form a pair, (c) and (e) will form a pair and will have similar chemical properties.

Hence, the pairs are: (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

A certain metal M crystallizes in a lattice described by a body-centered cubic (bcc) unit cell. The lattice constant (a, the edg

Furkat [3]

Answer:

radius = 156 pm

Explanation:

The relation between radius and edge length of unit cell of BCC is

r=a $\sqrt{3}$ /4

Given

a = 360 pm

Therefore

r = r = radius = 360 $\sqrt{3}$ /4= 155.88 pm

156 pm
