VB theory does not indicate that the diatomic molecule He₂ is a viable species.

Helium has atomic number 2, it has 2 protons and 2 electrons.

Electron configuration of helium atom: ₂He 1s².

Helim (He) is a noble gas.

Noble gases (group 18) are in group 18: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). They have very low chemical reactivity.

Noble gases have very stable electron configuration and does not need to gain electrons, only when they gain energy.

Valence bond (VB) theory explains chemical bonding.

Helium atom is stable and does not form molecule.

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

Having the same electronegativity means that the both elements will form a nonpolar bond. The shared electrons of the bind will be found equidistant from the nucleus of the two atoms because none has an unusual ability to attract the electrons of a bond towards itself.

If HCl were added to a solution containing lead(II) ions, sodium ions, nickel(II) ions, and potassium ions, which ions would pre

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

When HCl is added to metal ions, metal chlorides are produced. In this problem, it is asked whether the given ions precipitate or not when added to HCl. According to the rule, all chlorides except Ag+, Pb 2+, Hg2 2+ are soluble. Hence the ion that would precipitate is only lead (II) ion.

Write the complete balanced equation for the neutralization reaction that occurs when aqueous hydroiodic acid, HI, and sodium hy

Serhud [2]

Answer:

H+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) ------> H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )

Explanation:

The complete reaction when hydroiodic acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate combine, would be as follows -

HI + NaHCO3 ----> NaI + H2O + CO2

net reaction

H2CO3 is highly unstable, and thus decomposes into the water and carbon dioxide you see present as the reactants. If you didn't know already, H2CO3 is also reffered to as carbonic acid. The rest of the elements present on the reactant side are Iodine and Sodium, which is why they are present on the product side as NaI.

Let me include the " physical states " in this reaction as well -

HI ( aq ) + NaHCO3 ( aq ) ----> NaI ( aq ) + H2O ( l ) + CO2 ( g )

Now the complete ionic equation would simply be each compound present as ions in an aqueous solution, so there is no need for an explanation on this step -

H+ ( aq ) + I- ( aq ) + Na+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) -------> Na+ ( aq ) + I- ( aq ) + H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )

The spectator ions in this reaction are I- and Na+, so canceling them out, you would receive the following net ionic equation -

H+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) ------> H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )

Tyrone wants to buy peanut butter that does not contain any hydrogenated oils. What should Tyrone be concerned about?

Airida [17]

There are things that should be concerned about eating peanut butter. One would be the toxic fungus found within the peanut. Non-organic peanuts and peanut butters are also contaminated with pesticides.Peanuts also contain another natural substance called oxalates which can be toxic to the body.
