To rank provided elements from least to highest in terms of number of free electron per atom.
Answer to Problem 44A
Ranking from least to highest
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: To rank from least to highest in terms of number of free electron per atom, the following atoms,
- Aluminum
- Gallium
- Indium
- Platinum
- Zinc
Free electron in an atom is defined as the number of electrons in the outer orbit.
In Aluminum, there are there are 3 free electrons.
In Gallium, there are 3 free electrons.
In Indium, there are 3 free electrons.
In Platinum, there are 6 free electrons.
In Zinc, there are 2 free electrons.
There is a tie between Aluminum, Gallium and Indium because there are 3 free electrons in all the three elements.
Conclusion:
The rank of the provided elements from least to highest in terms of number of free electron per atom is obtained as:
