Because the alkali metals are the group 1 metals, they have only 1 valence electron that they want to lose, and the halogens are the group 17 nonmetals, they want to gain 1 valence electron to become stable.

What's the charge on Ni in the compound NiCi3? *

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chlorine is anion with a -1 charge. But they are three chlorine atoms.

-1 * 3 = -3

So they have a -3 charge.

So to balance the compound, the nickel has to be a cation with a +3 charge.

-3 + 3 = 0

Furthermore, a chemical bond always has a 0 charge. Remember that.

Hope it helped! Rate my answer a 5 star if correct.

What is the difference in mass between 3.01×10^24 atoms of gold and a gold bar with the dimensions 6.00 cm X 4.25 cm X 2.00 cm

Zanzabum

Answer:

The difference in mass between 3.01×10^24 atoms of gold and a gold bar with the dimensions 6.00 cm X 4.25 cm X 2.00 cm is :

Difference in mass = 985.32 - 984.5 = 0.82 g

Explanation:

Part I :

$n =\frac{3.01\times 10^{24}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}$

n = 4.9983

n = 4.99 moles

(Note : You can also take n = 5 mole )

Molar mass of gold = 196.96 g/mole

This means, 1 mole of gold(Au) contain = 196.96 grams

So, 4.99 moles of gold contain = $5\times 196.96$ g

4.99 moles of gold contain = 984.8 g

Mass of ${3.01\times 10^{24}}$ atoms of gold = 984.5 g

Part II :

Density of Gold = $19.32 g/cm^{3}$

Volume of the cuboid = $length\times breadth\times height$

Volume of the gold bar = $6.00\times 4.25\times 2.00$

Volume of the gold bar = 51 $cm^{3}$

Using formula,

$Density = \frac{mass}{Volume}$

$Mass = Density\times Volume$

$Mass = 19.32 \times 51$

Mass = 985.32 g

So, A gold bar with the dimensions 6.00 cm X 4.25 cm X 2.00 cm has mass of 985.32 g

Difference in mass = 985.32 - 984.5 = 0.82 g
