Answer:
1
Explanation:
For non metals to attain a noble gas configuration, they gain the number of electrons needed to attain the noble gas configuration of the noble gas at the end of their periods. This means that these non metals would only take up the configuration of the last element on their periods which of course is always a noble gas.
The last element on the hydrogen period or more conservatively the only other element on the hydrogen period is helium, with an atomic number of 2. The atomic number is the number of protons in he nucleus of an atom. For an electrically neutral atom, the number of electrons equal the number of protons.
Hence we can deduce that helium has 2 electrons while hydrogen has one electron. Thus for it to attain the configuration of helium, it just needs to gain one more electron
To count the number of valence electrons we look at the electronic configuration and add the electrons form the electronic shell with the highest principal quantum number.
Rb: [Kr] 5s¹ - 1 valence electron
Xe: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁶ - 8 valence electrons
Sb: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p³ - 5 valence electrons
I: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁵ - 7 valence electrons
In: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p¹ - 3 valence electrons
Rank from most to fewest valence electrons:
Xe > I > Sb > In > Rb
Answer:
(a) 3:2; (b) 2:1
Explanation:
The Law of Multiple Proportions states that when two elements A and B combine to form two or more compounds, the masses of B that combine with a given mass of A are in the ratios of small whole numbers.
That is, if one compound has a ratio r₁ and the other has a ratio r₂, the ratio of the ratios r is in small whole numbers.
(a) Ammonia and hydrazine.
In ammonia, the mass ratio of H:N is r₁ = 0.2158/1
In hydrazine, the mass ratio of H:N is r₂ = 0.1439/1
The ratio of the ratios is:
(b) Nitrogen oxides
In nitrogen monoxide, the mass ratio of O:N is r₁ = 1.142/1
In dinitrogen monoxide, the mass ratio of O:N is r₂ = 0.571/1
The ratio of the ratios is:
Answer:
The correct answer is "The coffee in the jug has more thermal energy than the coffee in the cup".
Explanation:
First I had to look for the problem to know the possible answers.
In this case, the coffee jug has a large amount of coffee at the same temperature. If we analyze that the decanter and the coffee are at the same temperature, we have a homogeneous thermal system. The cup is at room temperature, so by pouring coffee into it, the temperature of the coffee decreases to balance with the temperature of the cup. At this moment, the temperature of the cup-cafe system is lower than the jug-cafe system.
Thermal energy is the part of the internal energy of an equilibrated thermodynamic system that is proportional to its absolute temperature and increases or decreases by energy transfer.
In this way, we can ensure that the thermal energy of the cup-cafe system is lower than that of the jug-cafe system.
Have a nice day!
A volcanic arc is a chain of volcanoes formed above a subducting plate, positioned in an arc shape as seen from above. Offshore volcanoes form islands, resulting in a volcanic island arc.
