How do valence electrons impact the type of bonds an atom makes ?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kipiarov [429]1 year ago
4 0

The valence electron determines whether an ionic or covalent bond develops between two atoms.

An atom's outer shell electrons, known as valence electrons, can take a role in the creation of chemical bonds. When two atoms establish a single covalent bond, normally, both atoms contribute one valence electron to create a shared pair.

Ionic bonds, also known as electrovalent bonds, are a type of linkage created in a chemical molecule by the electrostatic attraction of ions with opposing charges. When one atom's valence (outermost) electrons are permanently transferred to another atom, a bond of this kind is created. The one or two and three are lost and gained in ionic bond formation, but particles with four valence electrons are neither lost nor gained. The four electrons are generally shared to form a covalent bond.

Hence, the valence electron decides the type of the bond.

Discuss the significance of assigning an atomic mass of exactly 12 amu to the carbon-12 isotope.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Cabon-12 has same average atomic weight and mass number.

Explanation:

carbon-12 has average atomic weight 12 amu and mass number of 12.

amu represents average of mass of a nucleon.

As carbon-12 has same average atomic mass and mass number therefore carbon-12 is a good standard to determine average mass of a nucleon.

Again, abundance of carbon-12 isotope is almost equal to 99%. Therefore fluctuation of average atomic weight from 12 amu is very very low.

So, carbon-12 is taken as a standard to determine mass of a nucleon.

Hence atomic mass of carbon-12 is 12 amu.

What elements are in NaC2HO4 and how many atoms are in each element​
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Each molecule contains one atom of A and one atom of B. The reaction does not use all of the atoms to form compounds.

                 A + B ⟶ Product

Particles: 6      8              6

If six A atoms form six product molecules, each molecule can contain only one A atom.

The formula of the product is ABₙ.

If n = 1, we need six atoms of B.

If n = 2, we need 12 atoms of B. However, we have only eight atoms of B, so the formula of the product must be AB.

Thus, 6A + 6B ⟶ 6AB, with two B atoms left over.

Explanation:

Hope it helps you :))

What happens when the temperature or pressure of a reaction system at equilibrium is altered? The equilibrium state is unable to
alina1380 [7]

Answer: The system will try and offset the change.

Explanation: Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in a direction to minimize the effect.

Thus if temperature is increased, the reaction will shift in a direction where temperature is decreasing and vice versa. Similarly if pressure is increased, the reaction will shift in a direction where pressure is decreasing and vice versa.
