Which of the following concerning second ionization energies is true?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dennis_Churaev [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The fact is that the both elements belong to different groups in the periodic table. Mg is in group 12 while Al is in group 13. The outer most electron configuration for Mg2+=[Ne]3s0

Al+= [Ne]3s13p0

It is evident that in Al+, the second electron is to be removed from a filled 3s subshell which is energetically unfavourable. Unlike In Mg2+ where the two electrons are removed. There is always a tendency towards a quick loss of all the valence electrons in the valence shell. It will be more difficult to remove an electron from a filled shell.

What will be the charge of the ion formed from each of these atoms ?
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Si14- Si^4+

As33- As^3-

Mg12- Mg^2+

Rb37- Rb^+

F9- F^-

Ge32- Ge^4+

Sn50- Sn^2+, Sn^4+

Explanation:

The elements shown in the answer have their common ions written beside them.

Silicon mostly forms positive ions in oxyacids and complex ions. Arsenic mostly forms its anion. Magnesium forms only the +2cation just as rubidium only forms the +1 cation. The fluoride ion is F^- while tin may for a +2*or +4 cation. Germanium usually forms the +4 cation.

Why is it important to ensure that treated water remains safe to drink when it is stored after treatment? what is one way to mak
yarga [219]


It is important to ensure that treated water remains safe to drink because water does not last forever as it can gain bacteria and organisms in it. To make sure storage of water is safe is to simply add chlorine again over a period of time.

-never store in direct sunlight

-containment of the water is clean

-make sure chemicals or anything that can contaminate it doesn't come near it

Which statement correctly describes a sample of gas confined in a sealed container? (1) It always has a definite volume, and it
Luda [366]
A gas does not have a specific shape or volume (so we reject option A), instead it adjusts itself to the container (which is further influenced by other forces such as gravity and temperature) and it with time, willl fill the whole container evenly, so the correct answer is:
(2) It takes the shape and the volume of any container in which it is confined

Why does 4.03/0.0000035 = 1.2 x 106, instead of a different number of significant figures?
jasenka [17]

Explanations:- As per the significant figures rule, In multiplication and division, we go with least number of sig figs.

4.03 has three sig figs where as 0.0000035 has two sig figs only, The zeros in this number are not sig figs as they are just holding the place values. As the least number of sig figs here is two, the answer needs to be reported with two sig figs only.

\frac{4.03}{0.0000035}=1.2*10^6
