Answer:

2s² 2p⁵

There are seven valance electrons in fluorine.

Explanation:

The elements of group 17 are called halogens. These are six elements Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Astatine. Halogens are very reactive these elements can not be found free in nature. Their chemical properties are resemble greatly with each other.

Properties of fluorine:

1. it is yellow in color.

2. it is flammable gas.

3. it is highly corrosive.

4. fluorine has pungent smell.

5. its reactions with all other elements are very vigorous except neon, oxygen, krypton and helium.  

Electronic configuration of fluorine:

F₉ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁵

Valance electrons in fluorine are 2s² 2p⁵.

Valance Orbital configuration:

2s² 2p⁵

There are seven valance electrons in fluorine.

The number of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate molecules that would be produced from 24 turns of the calvin cycle would be
SVEN [57.7K]
The Calvin cycle, also called the light-independent or carbon fixation reactions, is the second stage of photosynthesis where water, and carbon dioxide (CO2) from air, are converted into organic compounds (i.e. sugars) using the energy from short-lived electronically excited carriers (ATP and NADPH) for the reactions. These organic compounds can then be used by the producing organism (i.e. plants) and the animals that feed on it. 

One product of the Calvin cycle is the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), which is later on used in the production of glucose and in the regeneration of <span>Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), which is an organic compound</span> essential to the reactions in the cycle. 

One turn of Calvin Cycle produces 2 G3P molecules, each comprising of 3 carbons. This gives a total of 6 carbons. Five (5) of these carbons will be used to regenerate RuBP and only 1 will be available to form a surplus G3P later on. This surplus G3P will be used for the production of glucose (a 6-carbon sugar). 

Thus, 3 turns of the carbon cycle will produce 1 surplus G3P. There are 8 sets of 3-turns in 24 cycles, therefore, 

                       1 net G3P molecule * 8 sets of 3-turns  = 8 G3P molecules

Therefore, there are 8 net or surplus G3P molecules produced for 24 cycles of the Calvin Cycle. The total G3P molecules produced, including the ones that participated in the regeneration of RuBP would be 48 G3Ps. 

For every 3 turns, 6 G3P molecules are produced, 5 of which will be used in the regeneration of RuBP and 1 will be the net or surplus, to be used for the production of glucose. The 48 G3Ps then come from the calculation, 

                       6 total G3P molecules * 8 sets of 3-turns  = 48 G3P molecules


The figure below shows the products of the cycle after 3 turns (Source: https://ka-perseus-images.s3.amazonaws.com/2f4bdc8f8275834d3f5ef434d93bf16b991b2357.png).

iron will react with oxygen to produce Fe2O3. how many grams of Fe2O3 will he produced if 0.18 mil of Fe reacts?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

14.4g

Explanation:

First, we need to write a balanced equation for the reaction between Fe and O2 to produce Fe2O3. This is illustrated below:

4Fe + 3O2 —> 2Fe2O3

From the balanced equation,

4moles of Fe produced 2moles of Fe2O3.

Therefore, 0.18mol of Fe will produce = (0.18x2) /4 = 0.09mol of Fe2O3.

Now we need to find the mass present in 0.09mol of Fe2O3. This can be achieved by doing the following:

Molar Mass of Fe2O3 = (56x2) + (16x3) = 112 + 48 = 160g/mol

Number of mole of Fe2O3 = 0.09mol

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of Fe2O3 = 0.09 x 160 = 14.4g

A chemical reaction takes place in which energy is released. Arrange the reaction’s characteristics in order from start to finis
Aliun [14]
Endothermic reactions, on the other hand, absorb heat and/or light from their surroundings. For example, decomposition reactions are usually endothermic. In endothermic reactions, the products have more enthalpy than the reactants. Thus, an endothermic reaction is said to have a positive<span> enthalpy of reaction. This means that the energy required to break the bonds in the reactants is more than the energy released when new bonds form in the products; in other words, the reaction requires energy to proceed</span>

What is a property of most metals?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
(2) They tend to lose electrons easily when bonding is the correct answer.

All metals have either one, two, or three valence electrons. Therefore, they tend to lose these valence electrons in order to have eight valence electrons like noble gases do.

Hope this helps~
