...a metal atom will *lose* electrons to form a *positive* cation and a nonmetal atom will *accept* electrons to form an *negative* anion.
Answer:
The configuration of the atom would be 2-8-2.
Explanation:
Any atom of an element combines with other element to complete its octet and become stable.
The electron configuration of the given atom is 2-8-6. That means the atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell. To become stable the atom should have 8 electrons in its outermost shell. The given atom has 6 electrons so it either lose 6 electrons or gain 2 electrons to complete its octet.
But we know the atom having 5,6,7 electrons in its outermost shell they do not lose, they gain either 3 or 2 or 1 electrons to complete its octet.
So we say that atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 bond with the atom having electron configuration 2-8-2.
Answer:
Procedure (2)
Explanation:
Assume the dialyses come to equilibrium in the allotted times.
Procedure (1)
If you are dialyzing 5 mL of sample against 4 L of water, the concentration of NaCl will be decreased by a factor of
Procedure (2)
For the first dialysis, the factor is
After a second dialysis, the original concentration of NaCl will be reduced by a factor of
Procedure (2) is more efficient by a factor of
The products for the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon in excess air is carbon dioxide and water. Any hydrocarbon when reacted with oxygen will always yield the said products. Incomplete combustion, on the other hand, yields carbon monoxide and water.
