As the elements in Period 2 of the Periodic Table are considered in succession from left to right, there is a decrease in atomic

radius with increasing atomic number. This may best be explained by the fact that the

Answer:

A. number of protons increases, and the number of shells of electrons

remains the same.

Explanation:

As you move left to right across a period, the proton count rises, increasing the nucleus's positive charge. Although more electrons occupy the outermost shell, the total number of shells does not change. The growing positive nuclear pull draws the added negative charge inward, causing atomic radius to shrink as atomic number climbs within the period.

Which element can form a chloride with a general formula of MCl2 or MCl3
lorasvet [2795]
The oxidation state numbercan aid in identifying the unknown element present in both compounds. They denote the number of electrons that are either donated, received, or shared to yield compounds.

Remember the fundamental principles governing oxidation numbers.

1. In a neutral compound, the total of all oxidation numbers is zero.
2. Chlorine, bromine, and iodine typically exhibit an oxidation number of -1(unless paired with fluorine and oxygen)

Assume the oxidation state for element Mis designated as x.
Referring to rule 2, chlorine possesses an oxidation state of -1.

Now, for the compound MCl₂ (which is neutral), the equation can be formulated as
x + (2 * -1)= 0 ⇒ x₁= +2

For MCl₃, the corresponding equation is
x + (3 * -1)=  0 ⇒ x₂= +3

This indicates that the elementhas two distinct oxidation statesin its compounds, which are +2and +3.

The identified element is iron (Fe), as it shows +2 and +3 oxidation states across these compounds.

Memorizing this is essential. Regrettably, there isn't a simpler method to tackle these oxidation states.

The final answer is iron (Fe).

How many moles of nitrogen gas are there in 6.8 liters at room temperature and pressure (293 K and 100 kPa)?
Alekssandra [3086]
Utilize the ideal gas law:

n = PV / RT

P = 100kPa = 100 x 1000 x (9.8 x 10^{-6}) = 0.98 atm
Convert kPa to atm, where 1 Pa = 9.8 x 10^{-6} atm.
T = 293 K
V = 6.8 L
R = 1/12
Substituting all values leads to:
n = 0.272

Given the connection between Aw and K (Aw=2k) could you use the ideal gas law and derive the Boltzmann constant. Water freezes a
lions [2927]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relationship between the new temperature scale and the absolute temperature scale is defined as follows

Aw = 2 K

for K = 273.15 (the freezing point of water on the absolute scale)

Aw = 2 x 273.15 = 546.3 K

Each division of the new scale is equivalent to half that of each division on the absolute scale

each division of the new scale is minimal.

The value of R = 8.314 J per mole per K

Here, per K corresponds to 2Aw

Hence, the value of R in the new scale = 8.314/2 J per mole per Aw

= 4.157 J per mole per Aw

k = R / N

= 4.157 / 6.02 x 10²³

= .69 x 10⁻²³

= 6.9 x 10⁻²⁴ J per molecule per Aw .
