The answer is: the chemical property of unknown element is number of valence electrons and electronegativity.

For example, if sodium and chlorine reacts.

Sodium has 11 electrons (one valence electron) and lost one electron to obtain electron configuration of noble gas neon. ₁₁Na⁺ 1s²2s²2p⁶.

Chlorine has 17 electrons (seven valence electrons), chlorine gain one electron to obtain electron configuration of noble gas argon. ₁₇Cl⁻ 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶.

Electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

First, we determine the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas equation.

PV = nRT
n = PV / RT
n = (1.4 * 226.4) / (0.082 *(27 + 273.15))
n = 12.88

Next, we use the given percentages to find the moles of helium present
Moles of helium = 0.655 * 12.88
Moles of helium = 8.44

Next, we use the formula:
Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass of helium = 8.44 * 4

Mass of helium = 33.76 grams

almond37 [142]

Answer: Option (6) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Lattice energy is described as the energy released when formation of 1 mole of an ionic compound occurs due to the combination of its constituent ions.

Also, lattice energy is inversely proportional to the distance between the cation and anion. And, when we move down a group then there occurs an increase in the atomic radii of the atoms.

This means that smaller is the ionic distance between the cation and anion, more will be the lattice energy between the atoms.

Therefore, order from weakest to strongest lattice energy (most positive to most negative) for the given compounds is as follows.

 barium chloride < strontium chloride < calcium chloride < magnesium chloride
