Why would it take more energy to take 2 electrons from an atom of sodium than it does t take 3 electrons from an atom of aluminum?

$"Aluminum, Z = 13"$, with an electronic configuration of $1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3p^1$, versus $"Natrium, Z = 11":$ $1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(1)$ .

The second electron removed from the sodium atom is removed from an inner non-valence shell, which is closer to the nucleus, and thus more tightly held. It makes sense that this electron should require more energy to remove. On the other hand, aluminum has three , with $n=3$. The fourth ionization of aluminum should be disproportionately high.

The aluminum foil on a certain roll has a total area of $18.5$ $m^2$ and a mass of $1275$ $g$. Using a density of $2.7$ $g$ per cubic centimeter for aluminum, what is the thickness in millimeters of the aluminum foil?

Since aluminum has a of $2.7 g//(cm)^3$, $1275g$ of aluminum has a volume of $472.2 cm^3$. This is calculated by the formula linking density to mass and volume, $density =...

A neutral atom of sodium has 11 protons. How do you use this information to explain the total number of electrons that are in a sodium atom?

Simple considerations of electrostatics dictate that if such a species is NEUTRAL, there must also be 11 negative particles also associated with the atom. Note that the use of the...

Aluminum has an atomic number of 13. How many protons does an atom of aluminum have? How many electrons does it have?

Aluminum has (by definition) 13 protons, 13 positively charged particles. Because aluminum is neutral (as is all matter), it therefore has 13 negatively charged particles, electrons. Aluminum has an of...

Sodium chloride is $NaCl$, and sodium sulfide is $Na_2S$. Why are there more sodium ions in the sulfide compound?

Sodium chloride is composed of $Na^+$ ions and $Cl^-$ ions. Now of course salt is neutral; and to ensure this sodium ion and chloride ions combine 1:1. On the other...

In which species would 2 unpaired electrons be present in the ground state: $"a. sodium atom;"$ $"b. cobalt atom;"$ $"c. iron dication,"$ $Fe^(2+)$; $"d. iron atom?"$

We can immediately eliminate $Na$, $Z=11$, and $Co$, $Z=27$, because these give rise to an odd number of electrons in the ground state, the which must necessarily be UNPAIRED. As...

Which option contains a $2*g$ mass of sodium atoms.... $1.$ $5.24xx10^22*"sodium atoms?"$ $2.$ $6.022xx10^24*"sodium atoms?"$ $3.$ $3.12xx10^23*"sodium atoms?"$ $4.$ $5.24xx10^22*"sodium atoms?"$

We know that $1*mol$ contains $6.022xx10^23$ individual sodium atoms, and has a mass of $22.99*g$. And thus for $1.$ there is a $2*g$ mass of $Na$. For $2.$ there is...

The mass ratio of sodium to fluorine in sodium fluoride is 1.21:1. A sample of sodium fluoride produces 34.5 g of sodium upon decomposition. How much fluorine (in grams) forms?

The idea here is that you need to use the given mass ratio to determine how much fluorine will be produced if the also produces $"34.5 g"$ of sodium....

Recall that liquid sodium reacts with chlorine gas to produce sodium chloride. You want to produce 581 g of sodium chloride. How many grams of sodium are needed?

$"Moles of sodium chloride"$ $(581*cancelg)/(58.44*cancelg*mol^-1)$ $=$ $"approx. "10*mol$ Thus $10$ $mol$ sodium metal are required.

Aluminum oxide is decomposed to extract pure aluminum from the mineral. If 6.7 tons of aluminum oxide is mined, calculate the mass of pure aluminum produced?

1 mole of aluminum oxide has a molecular weight of 102 grams (Al=27 grams and O=16 grams). It means that for 1000 kg of compound you can get 529 kilograms...

Sodium and chlorine gas react to produce sodium chloride. If $"234 g"$ of sodium chloride is produced, how much sodium reacted?

You know that $2"Na"_ ((s)) + "Cl"_ (2(g)) -> 2"NaCl"_ ((s))$ and that the reaction produced $"234 g"$ of sodium chloride. Convert this to moles by using the...
