What are valence electrons and how do they affect the properties of an atom?

The term "valence electrons" refers to all of the electrons in an atom's outermost shell.

The centre of the atom is where the nucleus is. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. The electrons travel in a specific circular direction and at a specific distance from the nucleus.

The atom's final shell's electrons take part in chemical reactions and the production of bonds. Both ionic and covalent bonding involve valence electrons. Metals are elements with one, two, or three electrons in their final shell.

These substances become positive ions after losing their electrons. Non-metals are substances with 5, 6, or 7 electrons in the outermost shell. These substances all gain electrons and change into negative ions.

Ionic bonds are those created by the transfer of electrons between metals and non-metals. For instance, ionic bonding allows sodium and chlorine to interact to generate sodium chloride.

Which is an example of an exothermic process?
Gwar [14]

1) Answer: A hot pack feels warm when chemicals in it combine.

Explanation: Reactions or process in which heat is released(produced) are known as exothermic reactions or process and those in which the heat is absorbed are known as endothermic reactions or process.

If a beaker feels cools when chemical in it react then it means the chemicals have absorbed the heat energy from its surroundings and so it is an example of an endothermic process.

A hot pack feels warm when chemicals in it combine means the energy is released in the chemical reaction and so it is an example of an exothermic process.

Plants use the sun's energy for photosynthesis which is a process of forming food for the plants. Energy acts as a reactant in this process and so it is an example of endothermic process.

Frying an egg by heating it on a stove is an example of an endothermic process as the heat is required to fry the egg.

So, the only exothermic process is the second one, "A hot pack feels warm when chemicals in it combine."

2) In the given equation, heat is written as a product means the heat is released in the equation and so it is an example of an exothermic reaction.

So, the correct choice is the last one " It is exothermic because energy is released."

What else is produced during the combustion of butane, C4H10?<br><br> 2C4H10 + 13O2 → <br> + 10H2O
Neko [114]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

8CO₂

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • Butane, C₄H₁₀
  • Butane is a hydrocarbon in the homologous series known as alkane.

We are required to determine the other product produced in the combustion of butane apart from water.

  • We know that the complete combustion of alkane yields carbon dioxide and water.
  • Therefore, combustion of butane will yield carbon dioxide and water.
  • The balanced equation for the complete combustion of butane will be;

       2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ →  8CO₂ + 10H₂O
