Identify the following neutral elements by their condensed electron configurations. (Enter the chemical symbol or name of the element.)

(i) [Kr] 5s1 4d10

(ii) [Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d7

(iii) [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p4

(iv) [Kr] 5s1 4d4

(v) [Xe] 6s1 4f14 5d10

(vi) [Kr] 5s2 4d10 5p4

(b) Based on the electron configurations in part (a), which of the identified elements will have similar properties? Explain. (Enter the chemical symbols of the elements. Separate substances in a list with a comma.)

Elements with similar electron configurations, regardless of which shell each subshell is in, will likely have similar properties.

There are two atoms with the same number of electrons in the outermost d subshell.

7. using your knowledge of colligative properties explain whether sodium chloride or calcium chloride would be a more effective substance to melt the ice on a slick sidewalk. use 3 – 4 sentences in your explanation. 8. when a 2.5 mol of sugar (c12h22o11) are added to a certain amount of water the boiling point is raised by 1 celsius degree. if 2.5 mol of aluminum nitrate is added to the same amount of water, by how much will the boiling point be changed? show all calculations leading to your answer or use 3 – 4 sentences to explain your answer. 9. if 5.40 kcal of heat is added to 1.00 kg of water at 100⁰c, how much steam at 100⁰c is produced? show all calculations leading to an answer. 10. the freezing of water at 0⁰c can be represented as follows: h2o (l) ↔ h2o(s) the density of liquid water is 1.00 g/cm3. the density of ice is 0.92 g/cm3. in 3 – 4 sentences explain why applying pressure causes ice to melt.
