Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Boiling point of argon has to be estimated.
Concept Introduction:
Elements with same valence electrons are placed in the same group in periodic table
Chemical properties of an element can be determined by the number of electrons in the subshell containing the outermost electrons.
The elements with same number of valence electrons have physical and chemical properties.
Noble gases are inert gases with completely filled electronic configuration. Helium, neon, argon, xenon, krypton, and radon are the noble gases.
Group 8A in the periodic table contains 8 valence electrons and the outer electronic configuration of noble gases is
Boiling point: It is the temperature at which liquid converts to vapor. At boiling point the vapor pressure of liquid and the pressure of the surroundings are equal.

- Boron, atomic number 5, occurs naturally as two isotopes, 10B and 11B, with natural abundances of 19.9% and 80.1%, respectively.(a) In what ways do the two isotopes differ from each other? Does the electronic configuration of 10B differ from that of 11B? (b) Drawthe orbital diagram for an atom of 11B. Which electrons are the valence electrons? (c) Indicate three ways in which the 1s electrons inboron differ from its 2s electrons. (d) Elemental boron reacts with fluorine to form BF3, a gas. Write a balanced chemical equation forthe reaction of solid boron with fluorine gas. (e) ΔHf° for BF31g2 is -1135.6 kJ>mol. Calculate the standard enthalpy change in thereaction of boron with fluorine. (f) Will the mass percentage of F be the same in 10BF3 and 11BF3? If not, why is that the case?arrow_forwardWrite the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of solid potassium with liquid water?arrow_forward7.116 Consider the halogens chlorine, bromine, and iodine. Themelting point and boiling point of chlorine are −101.5°Cand −34.0°C and those of iodine are 113.7°C and184.3°C, respectively. Thus chlorine is a gas and iodineis a solid under room conditions. Estimate the meltingpoint and boiling point of bromine. Compare yourvalues with those from the webelements.com website.arrow_forward
- The periodic table is the most important organizing principle in chemistry. There is a regular progression in the periodic table that reflects a similar regularity in the structures and properties of the different elements. If you know the properties of any one element in a group, you can make a good guess at the properties of every other element in the same group and even the elements in neighboring groups. Familiarizing yourself with the structure and arrangement of the periodic table early on will help you later on in chemistry.

Drag the appropriate elements to their respective bins. ► View Available Hint(s) Main group elements Submit Ca Sn Fm Pd Zn S Transition metals Inner transition metals Reset Helparrow_forwardPlace the following elements in order of increasing covalent radius (i.e., from smallest to largest): Aluminum (Al) Boron (B) Fluorine (F) Helium (He) Potassium (K)arrow_forwardConsider two different elements, element 1 and element 2.

- What is the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons when cesium is exposed to UV rays of frequency 1.90×1015Hz? Express your answer in joules to three significant figures. It is not 9.17×10−19 J or 12.589 x 10-19 J By using the following formula, you can calculate the kinetic energy of the emitted electron: KE=E−ϕ=hν−hν0 where h=6.63×10−34 J⋅s is Planck's constant, ν=1.90×1015Hz is the given frequency, and ν0=9.39×1014 Hz is your answer from Part A. The threshold frequency ν0 of cesium is 9.39×1014 Hzarrow_forward3. Classify each of the following elements as a noble gas, a representative element, a transition element, or an inner-transition element. Also state whether the element is paramagnetic or diamagnetic: (a) potassium; (b) phosphorous; (c) promethium; (d) platinum; (e) krypton.arrow_forwardLook at the locations of potassium andcalcium on the periodic table.
