ANSWER

2 valence electrons

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The electronic configuration is given below as

1s^22s^22p^62s^23p^64s^2

Looking at the configuration, you will see that the last energy carries 2 electrons

Hence, the valence electrons are 2

A hot pot of water is set on the counter to cool. After a few minutes it has lost 495 J of heat energy. How much heat energy has
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

495 J

Explanation:

When the hot pot was set on the counter to cool, heat energy was lost from the pot. Note that according to the first law of thermodynamics, heat is neither created nor destroyed.

This implies that, the heat energy lost from the pot must be gained by the surrounding air. Therefore, if 495 J of energy is lost from the pot, then 495 J of energy is gained by the surrounding air.

Ionic compounds form between two metals true
Viefleur [7K]

Answer (TL;DR):

False, ionic compounds form between a metal and a nonmetal. This is because metals are looking to lose electrons to get a full outer shell while nonmetals are looking to gain electrons to get a full outer shell.

Explanation:

Atoms have a full outer shell when their outermost shell holds the maximum number of electrons. For example, if the outermost shell is the first shell of the atom, it can hold up to 2 atoms. When this shell holds 2 atoms, it is considered full. If the outermost shell is the second shell of the atom, it can hold up to 8 atoms. When this shell holds 8 atoms, it is considered full. This can also be referred to as an atom "gaining a complete octet." The reason that atoms want a complete octet is to become stable and less reactive.

Let's say an atom with 3 shells has only 1 electron on the third shell. It doesn't have a complete octet and it wants to gain one. The third shell can hold up to 8 electrons. So, to gain a complete octet, the atom can either gain 7 electrons or just lose the 1 that it already has, which is the easier option. This is the case with metals and the opposite goes for nonmetals.

Because metals want to lose electrons and nonmetals want to gain electrons, they form compounds with each other.

I hope this helps!

What is the volume of 9.5 g fluorine gas, F2, at STP?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

5.6L

Explanation:

At STP, the pressure and temperature of an ideal gas is

P = 1 atm

T = 273.15k

Volume =?

Mass = 9.5g

From ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = ideal gas constant =0.082J/mol.K

T = temperature of the ideal gas

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Molar mass of F2 = 37.99g/mol

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 9.5 / 37.99

Number of moles = 0.25moles

PV = nRT

V = nRT/ P

V = (0.25 × 0.082 × 273.15) / 1

V = 5.599L = 5.6L

The volume of the gas is 5.6L
