True or False: The more shells in an atom, the lower its electronegativity. Explain. Always true; the greater the number of shells in an atom, the lower the electronegativity. Always false; the greater the number of shells in an atom, the higher the electronegativity. Sometimes true and sometimes false; This holds true only within any one atomic group (vertical column). Sometimes true and sometimes false; This holds true only across any given period (row) of the periodic table.

Which of the following elements will most likely form an ion with a -1 charge? Na S Ne Cl

Take enough money away from your bank account and the bank will show a negative credit. Take an electron away from an atom, however, and the atom shows up positive. Explain. Electrons are already negative. Therefore, we know from basic math that subtracting a negative (number) from a neutral (atom), will make the result positive. Neutral atoms contain identically charged but oppositely signed protons and electrons. Removing one of the negative electrons results in an excess of positively charged protons. Removing an electron from an atom does not have the atom show up positive. It simply leaves the atom short one electron. Atoms are constantly exchanging electrons. Having an atom "show up positive" is only an expression indicating that it has taken its turn in the game of electron exchange.

Which would you expect to have a higher melting point: sodium chloride, NaCl, or cesium chloride, CsCl? Why? The cesium chloride has a higher melting point because larger ions of the same charge are able to attract more ions of the opposite charge. The cesium chloride has a higher melting point because its ions are smaller, which makes the charges more dense. The sodium chloride has a higher melting point because of the greater charges of the ions, and hence the greater force of attractions between them. The sodium chloride has a higher melting point because its ions are smaller, which allows oppositely charged ions to get closer.

Which of the following compounds would be ionic? CS2 CF4 SO2 CaCl2 SF5

Given that the total number of atoms on our planet remains fairly constant, how is it ever possible to deplete a natural resource such as a metal? The problem remains that not everyone recycles as they should. Recycling only forestalls the inevitable depletion of metal resources. The atoms don't leave our planet, which is why naturally occurring materials never really reach the point of depletion. The problem is with the expense of collecting metal atoms that are uniformly dispersed.

Three kids sitting equally apart around a table are sharing jelly beans. One of the kids named Billy, however, tends only to take jelly beans and only rarely gives one away. If each jelly bean represents an electron, who ends up being slightly negative? Who ends up being slightly positive? Billy ends up being slightly negative, while the two other kids are both slightly positive. Billy ends up being slightly positive, while the two other kids are both slightly negative. One of the two kids other than Billy ends up slightly negative, but Billy and the third kid will both end up slightly positive. One of the two kids other than Billy ends up slightly positive, but Billy and the third kid will both end up slightly negative.

The valence electron of a sodium atom does not sense the full +11 of the sodium nucleus. Why not? There are two "non-valence shell" electrons shielding the sodium nucleus from sensing it. There are two inner shells of electrons containing ten electrons shielding the sodium nucleus from sensing it. Since the +11 charge is spread evenly around the entire spherical surface of the nucleus, the actual force of the charge in any given direction is greatly diminished. The distance from the nucleus to the loosely held lone valence electron varies greatly over time. So, the average sense of charge from the nucleus is considerably less than +11.
