More unstable an electron configuration , the more reactive an atom will    become.

How electron configuration influences the chemical behavior of an atom?

This is happen generally, If we look at the Group 1 elements in the periodic table, they are all highly reactive as they have 1 electron in their outermost shells - an unstable configuration in terms of energy.

Also, the noble gases in Group 8 in the periodic table are 'inert' that means they don't react (or more correctly, have an incredibly low reactivity). This is because they have 8 electrons in their outermost shell and thus have no need to acquire or lose electrons to possess a stable electron configuration.

Hence, electron configuration influences the chemical behavior of an atom.

A balanced chemical reaction obeys the law of...
Anit [1.1K]

Answer: (C) conservation of matter

Solution: Law of conservation of matter or mass states that' total mass of the reactants should always be equal to the total mass of the product that is the total mass is remained conserved in a chemical reaction.

A balanced chemical equation always follow this law.

For example:

2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

Mass of hydrogen = 1 g/mol

Mass of Oxygen = 16 g/mol

Total mass on the reactants = 2(2×1)+(2×16)= 36g/mol

Total mass on the product side = 2[(2×1) +16] = 36 g/mol

As,

Mass on reactant side = Mass on the product side

Therefore, a balanced chemical reaction follows Law of Conservation of mass.

What is the molality of an aqueous solution that contains 29.5 g of glucose (C6H12O6) dissolved in 950 g of water (H2O)?
Gnesinka [82]
Molality is one way of expressing concentration of a solute in a solution. It is expressed as the mole of solute per kilogram of the solvent. To calculate for the molality of the given solution, we need to convert the mass of solute into moles and divide it to the mass of the solvent.

Molality = 29.5 g glucose (1 mol / 180.16 g ) / .950 kg water
Molality = 0.1724 mol / kg

How many atoms are in 4 moles of oxygen?
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

There are 6.022 × 10 23 O atoms in a mole of O atoms. There are 6.022 × 10 23 O 2 molecules in a mole of . Since you have 2 oxygen atoms in one molecule, there are 2 × 6.022 × 10 23 O atoms in a mole of . A 'mole' is not short for a 'molecule

What describes Rutherford’s model of the atom?
HACTEHA [7]
Rutherford's model shows that an atom is mostly empty space, with electrons orbiting a fixed, positively charged nucleus in set, predictable paths. ... It was after this that Rutherford began developing his model of the atom.

Give the nuclear symbol for the isotope of silicon for which a=29? Enter the nuclear symbol for the isotope (e.G., 42he).
quester [9]

The mass number is the summation of number of proton and neutron present in a nucleus of an atom. For the neutral atom the number of positive charge (number of proton) must be equal to the number of electrons. The number of electrons present in an atom is the atomic number of the atom. The standard way to express the mass number (a) and atomic number (m) of a atom (say X) is x^{a}_{m}. Now for silicon number of electron or atomic number is 14. And the mass number (a) given 29. Thus the expression nucleus of silicon will be Si^{29}_{14}
