be in negative value

increase.

decrease

If the shielding (or screening) effect increases, it means that inner electrons are blocking more of the positive charge of the nucleus from reaching the valence electrons. This reduces the effective nuclear charge experienced by the valence electrons, causing the overall attraction between the nucleus and the outer electrons to decrease

Yes The correct answer is:

B) decrease.

Metallic cans are often used for packing beverages because of its advantages. However, some of the metals are toxic and harmful. One such toxic metal is

lead

copper

tin

chromium

The correct answer is:

B) lead.

Lead is a toxic metal that can be harmful if ingested or absorbed into the body. It was historically used in some cans but has been largely phased out due to its harmful effects. Modern beverage cans are typically made from materials like aluminum or tin-coated steel, which are safer.

The correct answer is:

B) lead.

Arrange the following gases in increasing order of their masses.

1.0 mole of O3
1.0 mole of N2
1.0 mole of O2
1.0 mole of CO2

I < II < III < IV

IV < II < III < I

II < III < IV < I

II < III < I < IV

To arrange the gases in increasing order of their masses, we need to find the molar mass of each gas. Here’s how to do that step by step:

Step 1: Calculate the Molar Masses

- Molar mass = 3×atomic mass of O3 \times \text{atomic mass of O}3×atomic mass of O
- Atomic mass of O = 16.00 g/mol
- Molar mass of O₃ = 3×16.00=48.00 g/mol3 \times 16.00 = 48.00 \, \text{g/mol}3×16.00=48.00g/mol
Nitrogen (N₂):
- Molar mass = 2×atomic mass of N2 \times \text{atomic mass of N}2×atomic mass of N
- Atomic mass of N = 14.01 g/mol
- Molar mass of N₂ = 2×14.01=28.02 g/mol2 \times 14.01 = 28.02 \, \text{g/mol}2×14.01=28.02g/mol
Oxygen (O₂):
- Molar mass = 2×atomic mass of O2 \times \text{atomic mass of O}2×atomic mass of O
- Molar mass of O₂ = 2×16.00=32.00 g/mol2 \times 16.00 = 32.00 \, \text{g/mol}2×16.00=32.00g/mol
Carbon Dioxide (CO₂):
- Molar mass = atomic mass of C+2×atomic mass of O\text{atomic mass of C} + 2 \times \text{atomic mass of O}atomic mass of C+2×atomic mass of O
- Atomic mass of C = 12.01 g/mol
- Molar mass of CO₂ = 12.01+2×16.00=12.01+32.00=44.01 g/mol12.01 + 2 \times 16.00 = 12.01 + 32.00 = 44.01 \, \text{g/mol}12.01+2×16.00=12.01+32.00=44.01g/mol

Step 2: List the Molar Masses

N₂: 28.02 g/mol

Table salt (NaCl) is one of the basic ingredients that adds flavor to the food. However, consuming excess salt leads to high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. If a doctor recommends you to take 3 grams daily, how much salt molecules would you be consuming in a day?

6.023 x 10^21

1.809 x 10^23

5.420 x 10^24

3.088 x 10^22

To find out how many salt (NaCl) molecules are consumed when taking 3 grams daily, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Calculate the Molar Mass of NaCl

The molar mass of sodium chloride (NaCl) can be calculated by adding the atomic masses of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl):

Sodium (Na): approximately 22.99 g/mol
Chlorine (Cl): approximately 35.45 g/mol

Molar mass of NaCl=22.99+35.45=58.44 g/mol\text{Molar mass of NaCl} = 22.99 + 35.45 = 58.44 \, \text{g/mol}Molar mass of NaCl=22.99+35.45=58.44g/mol

Step 2: Convert Grams to Moles

Next, convert the mass of NaCl consumed (3 grams) into moles using the molar mass:

Moles of NaCl=Mass of NaClMolar mass of NaCl=3 g58.44 g/mol≈0.0513 moles\text{Moles of NaCl} = \frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}}{\text{Molar mass of NaCl}} = \frac{3 \, \text{g}}{58.44 \, \text{g/mol}} \approx 0.0513 \, \text{moles}Moles of NaCl=Molar mass of NaClMass of NaCl=58.44g/mol3g≈0.0513moles

Step 3: Calculate the Number of Molecules

To find the number of molecules, multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number (approximately 6.022×10236.022 \times 10^{23}6.022×1023 molecules/mol):

Number of molecules=Moles of NaCl×Avogadro’s number\text{Number of molecules} = \text{Moles of NaCl} \times \text{Avogadro's number}Number of molecules=Moles of NaCl×Avogadro’s number =0.0513 moles×6.022×1023 molecules/mol≈3.09×1022 molecules= 0.0513 \, \text{moles} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \, \text{molecules/mol} \approx 3.09 \times 10^{22} \, \text{molecules}=0.0513moles×6.022×1023molecules/mol≈3.09×1022molecules

Final Answer

Therefore, the amount of salt molecules consumed in a day when taking 3 grams of NaCl is approximately:

≈3.088×1022 molecules\approx 3.088 \times 10^{22} \, \text{molecules}≈3.088×1022molecules

So, the correct choice is B) 3.088 x 10²².

What is the number of electron(s) required by a halogen to form a halide ion?

A halogen requires 1 electron to complete its outer shell and achieve a stable electron configuration (similar to that of a noble gas). This is because halogens have 7 electrons in their outermost shell, and gaining 1 electron gives them a full octet.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

D: 1.

Great going!

Therefore, the correct answer is:

D: 1.

To find out how many salt (NaCl) molecules are consumed when taking 3 grams daily, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Calculate the Molar Mass of NaCl

The molar mass of sodium chloride (NaCl) can be calculated by adding the atomic masses of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl):

Sodium (Na): approximately 22.99 g/mol
Chlorine (Cl): approximately 35.45 g/mol

Molar mass of NaCl=22.99+35.45=58.44 g/mol\text{Molar mass of NaCl} = 22.99 + 35.45 = 58.44 \, \text{g/mol}Molar mass of NaCl=22.99+35.45=58.44g/mol

Step 2: Convert Grams to Moles

Next, convert the mass of NaCl consumed (3 grams) into moles using the molar mass:

Step 3: Calculate the Number of Molecules

To find the number of molecules, multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number (approximately 6.022×10236.022 \times 10^{23}6.022×1023 molecules/mol):

Final Answer

The correct sequence of filling up orbitals is

1s 2s 2p 3p 3s 4s 3d

1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d

1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 3d 4s

1s 2s 3s 2p 3p 4s 3d

The Aufbau principle governs the sequence in which electrons fill atomic orbitals. According to this rule, electrons fill orbitals starting from the lowest energy level to the highest. The energy levels of orbitals are not strictly in numerical order due to electron-electron interactions and shielding effects.

Correct Filling Sequence:

1s: The lowest energy orbital, so it fills first.

2s: Next in energy, so it fills after 1s.

2p: Higher energy than 2s, so it fills next.

3s: Higher than 2p, so it fills after 2p.

3p: Fills after 3s.

4s: Even though it's in the 4th shell, it has lower energy than 3d, so it fills before 3d.

3d: Fills after 4s due to its higher energy.

Thus, the correct sequence of filling is:

1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d\text{1s} \, 2s \, 2p \, 3s \, 3p \, 4s \, 3d1s2s2p3s3p4s3d

This is why option B: 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d is the correct answer.

BOOM ! Correct !

Correct Filling Sequence:

1s: The lowest energy orbital, so it fills first.
