A student hypothesizes that since elements in the same row have the same number of energy levels, they should behave the same in chemical reactions. Explain why you agree or disagree with this hypothesis.i'm having a bit of trouble with this question :P
anyone know?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Explanation:

When we move across a period then there occurs an increase in the number of electrons of atoms from left to right. These electrons are added to the same sub-shell.

For example, elements present in row 2 will have electrons present in n = 2 which is the highest energy level for row 2 elements.

Hence, there are different number of valence electrons present in the elements of a row.

Whereas when we move down a group then elements have same number of valence electrons. As a result, they tend to show similar chemical properties.

But since, there are no same number of valence electrons in the elements of a row. Hence, they do not show similar chemical properties. Therefore, elements of a row do not behave same in chemical reactions.

Thus, we can conclude that we disagree with the hypothesis given by the student.  

Answer 2
Answer: I disagree with this hypothesis, because, the rows only support how many valence electrons there are, but do not support the chemical reaction. However, the columns do. Each column on the periodic table is one group. These groups share similar chemical properties, and react similarly in reaction. In conclusion, the hypothesis is incorrect.
Hope this helped.

What is the effect of temperature and density on the movement of water?

Answers

temperature affects the movement of water because if the liquid is cold the molecules come together. Therefore, the water moves slower, and if the liquid is hot the molecules spread apart and move faster.

Which of the following is not a result when a change to an equilibrium system is applied? (2 points)Increasing the rate of the forward reaction will cause a shift to the left.

Increasing the rate of the reverse reaction will cause a shift to the left.

Decreasing the rate of the forward reaction will cause a shift to the left.

Decreasing the rate of the reverse reaction will cause a shift to the right.

Answers

Answer: Option (2) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to LeChatelier principle, any change in the equilibrium of a chemical reaction will result in shifting of equilibrium which is opposing the change.

Therefore, when we increase the rate of the reverse reaction that is, we move towards left side then this will actually cause a shift to the right hand side which is opposing the change.

Thus, we can conclude that increasing the rate of the reverse reaction will cause a shift to the left is not a result when a change to an equilibrium system is applied.

It should be increasing the rate of the forward reaction will cause a shift to the left because the external stress, which is the increase in rate, will cause the reaction to be unbalanced, and to reach equilibrium it needs to shift to the right.

How to find wavelength

Answers

Know the formula for calculating wavelength. To find the wavelength of a wave, you just have to divide the wave's speed by its frequency. ...State the formula in correct units. ...Plug the known quantities in the equation. ...Solve.

Answer:

Use the formula v=fλ Divide the velocity by the frequency to find the wavelength. (Make sure you add the unit λ for your final answer)

V: Velocity

F: Frequency

λ: Wavelength
