How do the number of valence electrons an element has change from column to column?

2 answers:

3 0

It increases by one to the right and decreases by one to the left, except transition elements
(first column always has 1 valence electron)

column refers to groups, so group 1 has 1 valence electron, group 2 has 2 valence electron and so on

Answer:

Increases by an unit.

Explanation:

The periodic table refers to the table in which the chemical elements are arrangement in the increasing order of their atomic number (Z). This table contains 18 vertical columns, known as groups and 7 horizontal rows, called columns.

As we move across the period, i.e. left to right from one column to another; the number of valence electrons in the valence shell of a chemical element progressively increases by an unit.

Answer:

The mole is important because it allows chemist to work with a subatomic world with macro world units and amount. Atoms molecules and formula units are very small and very difficult to work with usually. However the mole allows a chemist to work with amount large enough to use.

In a room full of air, the air is mainly composed of Nitrogen and Oxygen molecules (both at room temperature). Find (to two sign

zloy xaker [14]

Explanation:

Expression for the $v_{rms}$ speed is as follows.

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}$

where, $v_{rms}$ = root mean square speed

k = Boltzmann constant

T = temperature

M = molecular mass

As the molecular weight of oxygen is 0.031 kg/mol and R = 8.314 J/mol K. Hence, we will calculate the value of $v_{rms}$ as follows.

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.02 K}{0.031 kg/mol}}$

= 498.5 m/s

Hence, $v_{rms}$ for oxygen atom is 498.5 m/s.

For nitrogen atom, the molecular weight is 0.028 kg/mol. Hence, we will calculate its $v_{rms}$ speed as follows.

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.92 K}{0.028 kg/mol}}$

= 524.5 m/s

Therefore, $v_{rms}$ speed for nitrogen is 524.5 m/s.

You push on the side of a toy truck rolling along the floor. What will happen to the motion of the truck?

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The direction will be changed .

Explanation:

According to the principles of motion, if an object is moving with solitary velocity and if an external force is applied to it, then that force changes the position, speed, and direction of that object.

In the given question, an external force is being applied to the toy which will change the direction of that toy.
