What are the 4 quantum numbers for strontium?

1.) a.) Because of shielding, there are only 7 of the 17 protons of the Cl nucleus to hold the 3s2 3p5 electrons of Cl. With the gain of an electron, those 7 protons have to hold on to 8 electrons. The attraction is weaker, so Cl- is larger. In K+, there is one less electron, the 4s is empty, so K+ is smaller.

b.) Li is 1s2 2s1. The energy to remove the 2s1 is low, but the energy to remove the second electron from a filled shell is very high. Be is 1s2 2s2. The 1s2 is a filled shell, but the 2s2 is not. The energy to remove the first electron is low. The energy to remove the second is higher but not extremely high.

2.) a.) This is beyond me.

b.) Blue light is shorter in wavelength and higher in frequency than red light, so red light is less energetic.

3.) a.) All the same. "Equal volumes of gas contain equal numbers of molecules." --Avogadro.

b.) Molecular weights: NH3=17, NO2=46, N2=28. So the lightest molecules, NH3, are the fastest.

c.) This is beyond me.

4.) Decreasing the volume (by moving the piston) increases the pressure. Reducing the temperature by 20C = 20K decreases the pressure. You did not specify the new volume, so the final pressure cannot be calculated.

5.) a.) 2Na(s) + 2H2O ===> 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

b.) There are not enough data given to calculate.

c.) Because one cannot calculate /\H per g or per mole in b.), this cannot be calculated either.

d.) 17C = 290K, so 6.50LH2 x 740mmHg/760mmHg x 290K/273K = 6.72 L H2. You can also work this out with P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 or P2 = P1V1T2/V2T1

6.) a.) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d2

b.) 3 2 -2 -1/2 and 3 2 -1 -1/2

c.) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d2 Answer this question…

What is the origin of name for the element strontium?

The element Strontium was isolated from a mineral called Strontianite and was so called because it was first discovered near the village of Strontian in Scotland.

What is the melting point of strontium?

The melting point of strontium is 777 °C, or 1431 °F. Use the link below for more information.

What are two examples of strontium chemical properties?

Strontium is an alkaline earth metal, and as such, has 2 valence electrons, and will react in a 1:1 ratio with oxygen. Both these characteristics are chemical properties.

What are the formulas for magnesium oxide and strontium oxide?

The chemical formula for magnesium oxide is MgO. Magnesium has valency +2 and oxygen has -2. So, magnesium donates two electrons and oxygen gains two electrons to form ionic bond.

The chemical formula for strontium oxide is SrO. Strontium has valency +2 and oxygen has -2. So, strontium donates two electrons and oxygen gains two electrons to form ionic bond.

What is the precipitate formed from strontium bromide and potassium sulfate?

Strontium bromide and potassium sulfate will produce a precipitate of strontium sulfate.

What is strontium?

StrontiumStrontium, element number 38, is an Alkaline Earth metal from Group 2 of the periodic table. It has a +2 electronegativity (like all the Group 2 elements) and is highly reactive. As such, it cannot be found free in nature. Its name derives from the Scottish village Strontian, and it was near this small community that minerals from which strontium was first isolated came.

Strontium is used as an X-ray supressor in the glass of the color cathode ray tube (CRT) in color TVs and video displays. (Note that the CRT is waning in popularity as technology advances.) It also has other applications in the manufacture of alloys, some of which are eutectic. Salts of this metal are used in pyrotechnics and flares to impart a specific color to the flame. The metal has four stable isotopes, but also has a number of radioisotopes that find a variety of applications in nuclear pharmacology. And the value of these radioactive isotopes of strontium also extends to uses in both medical and other biological research, and as a heat source in the manufacture of thermoelectric generators.

Who named oxygen?

Oxygen was named in 1777 by Antoine Lavoisier.

Strontium Chloride Hexahydrate ionic or molecular?

strontium is an alkali metal so always forms ionic bond with halogens as chlorine but 6 water molecules are attached through coordinate covalent bond with strotium but overall compound is consider as ionic compound.

The formula unit for strontium chloride SrCl2 indicates that?

The formula unit indicate that this unit has 1 atom of strontium and two atoms of chlorine.

What compound has the higher melting temperature Strontium Sulfate or Magnesium Oxide?

Magnesium Oxide Strontium Sulphate has a melting point of 1606°C while Magnesium Oxide has a melting point of 2852°C

Why does strontium sulfate becomes less soluble in an aqueous solution when sodium sulfate is added?

Sodium sulphate increases the concentration of sulphate ions. So strontium sulphate solubility decreases.
