> How many valence electrons does a helium atom have?

The electron configuration of Helium is simply 1s2. We see that its outermost shell is the s shell and it contains 2 electrons, therefore the number of valence electrons is also 2.

 

> What is the formula of the ion formed when potassium achieves noble-gas electron configuration?

Potassium has a electron configuration of [Ar] 4s1. To have an electron configuration of only [Ar] which is a noble gas, the one electron from 4s1 should be removed, hence:

Given the balanced equation below, calculate the moles of aluminum that are needed to react completely with 17.5 moles of FeO? S
Sveta_85 [38]

The  moles  of Al that are needed to react completely  with 17 .5  moles  of FeO  is  11.67  moles

<u><em>calculation</em></u>

2Al +3 FeO  → 3 Fe + Al₂O₃

The moles of Al  is calculate using the mole ratio

That is; From equation above the  mole  ratio  of Al :FeO is 2:3  therefore the moles of Al

  = 17.5 moles x 2/3 = 11.67  moles

Write the chemical symbols for three different atoms or atomic anions with 36 electrons
Gekata [30.6K]
If you look at the periodic table, Krypton has an atomic number of 36. Krypton is one of the noble gases. They are a group of elements that are very stable because they obey the Octet Rule. As a result, other elements try to conform the electronic configurations of the nearest noble gases to them. They either give or take electrons in their valence shell.

The three atoms that have 36 electrons are: Kr (Krypton), Br⁻ (Bromide), and Rb⁺(Rubidium ion).

Why do all living things need nitrogen?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Option A. to build new cells.

Explanation:

All living things need nitrogen for the production of new cell because nitrogen is the main structural component of the cell. Protein is made up of amino acid and amino acid made of nitrogen. Without nitrogen atom, enzymes formation is impossible and we know that enzymes are necessary to speed up the chemical process. So nitrogen is very important for living organisms.

MrRa [10]

Answer: C2H4

Explanation:

The percentage composition of ethanol ( C2H5OH ) consist of 52.2% Carbon, Hydrogen of 13.0 and 34.8% of Oxygen.

The percentage composition of ethane gas (C2H6) consist of 80.0% carbon and 20.0% hydrogen.

The composition of Ethylene Glycols i.e C2H4(OH)2 is Carbon of 39.7%, 9.7% hydrogen and 51.6% oxygen.

The percent composition of c2h4 is 86% carbon, and 14% hydrogen.

From the information given, the substance with the highest percentage of carbon is C2H4
