176 Chemistry Questions And Answers

42⟩ What is some importance of organic chemistry?

In organic chemistry one uses it both medicinally one uses it to test for illness way back from ancient times. It is also a good diagnostic tool by smell feel or touch. You can actually heed the smell of decay in organic chemistry

44⟩ Which is polar HCl or HF?

This question is quite simple if you have an electro negativity chart:

Florine's Electronegativity: 4.0

Chlorine's Electronegativity: 3.0

Hydrogen's Electronegativity: 2.1

HCl: 3.0-2.1= .9 (Slightly polar)

HF: 4.0-2.1= 1.9 (Much more polar)

47⟩ What is the use of glacial acetic acid?

There are no medical uses to pure GAA, dilute concentrations can be used to remove warts or verucas; it can also be used via iontophoresis to treat bone spurs. Industrial uses include photography and the manufacturing of aspirin.

48⟩ Can you show you the organic structure of cetearyl alcohol and tell me what organic family it is?

Cetearyl alcohol is actually a mixture of both stearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol (refer to links below for structures). Both of these compounds would be considered "fatty alcohols" due to their long carbon chains. Fatty alcohols are in the aliphatic hydrocarbon family. To draw the structure of "cetearyl alcohol" you would actually have to draw the structure of cetyl alcohol and the structure of stearyl alcohol.

51⟩ What is the atomic number and what does it tell you about the number of protons in an atom?

The number of protons in an atom is the atomic number. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of an atom. It is very important in knowing the number of electrons that surround the nucleus of an atom. In an atom, the electrical charge is neutral, due to the equal number of positive (protons) and negative (electrons) charges. The atomic number represents the protons in an atom and identifies the element. Hydrogen has one proton. No other atom has just one proton. Helium has two protons and no other element has only two protons. Lithium has three protons and so on.

The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus, and for neutral atoms, it is the same as the number of electrons.

52⟩ How many valence electrons does each of the elements in the periodic table have?

This all depends on the element's atomic number (number of protons). Since atoms have the same number of protons as they do electrons, the atomic number is essentially equal to the number of electrons as well.

For example, Aluminum atomic number of 13 in the first electron cloud it will only have 2 so then it will have 8 in the other layers until there are not enough electrons. So the first will have 2 electrons, the second layer will have 8 electrons and the last layer will have 3 electrons because there are not enough electrons to make another full layer of 8 electrons. Therefore, Aluminum has 3 valence electrons.

53⟩ Why are elements arranged as they are in the periodic table?

Elements in the periodic table are arranged in order of increasing atomic number (which is just the number of protons found in the nucleus of that element). Starting with hydrogen (H) with only 1 proton and reading left to right and then down, the atomic number goes up one for each element until you reach the highest atomic number of 106.

The reason the periodic table is the shape that it is has to do with the electronic configurations of the elements. The periodic table is arranged so that all the elements in each period (row) have similar electronic configurations to the other elements in that period. That also often means that elements in the same group (column) show similar chemical reactivity. Electrons in atoms are arranged in different orbitals (named "s", "p", "d", and “f").

Elements in the same group all have the same number of electrons in each orbital. For instance, the alkali metals in the first column (Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Caesium, and Francium) all have 1 electron in their outermost shell/layer (it turns out there are many shell, each one bigger than the previous one -- Lithium has 2 shells while bigger atoms like Caesium have 6 shells). What matters is that they all have a single electron in that outermost shell regardless of how many shells they have in total. This same trend is observed in each group of the table, excluding most of the transition metals.

60⟩ Is HCl polar or non-polar?

Yes, HCl is a polar compound because chlorine is more electronegative than H It attract the bond pair towards itself. Hence, compound is a polar.
