Chapter 22, Problem 22.4E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of surface tension of liquid mercury, 435.5dyn/cm, in units of N/m is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Surface tension is the tension of a liquid surface that causes due to the attraction of liquid particles in the liquid surface by the liquid particle present in the bulk of the liquid. The surface tension tries to attain minimum surface area. The formula of surface tension is given by the expression shown below.

Coulombs Law describes the interaction between two charges and varies by the magnitude of these charges and inversely with the distance between them. For atoms, we'll label the charges as the nuclear charge and electron charge. 9192 9nuclelec As you go up in atomic number (Z), the number of protons in the nucleus increases, making the charge on the nucleus increase, so that in general. qnuc = Z ·(+1) However if we think only of the electrons in the outermost shells (valence electrons), they do not see the full strength of the nuclear charge because it is partially shielded (or canceled out if you prefer) by the core electrons. So we define something called effective charge. Shielding Experiences net charge of about 1+ Nucleus Effective Charge = # of protons Zeff = Z – core # of core electrons In general, Zeff increases as you go across in the periodic table. 1. Fill out the following table to verify that effective charge increases as you go across a row. Element Na Mg Al Si P S CI Ar…
