Do metals donate or accept electrons? what do they become after they donate/accept electrons?

Chemistry

valentinak56 [21]3 years ago

Metal usually donates electrons. The concept behind this phenomenon is stability. The elements with the most stable electronic configuration are the noble gases in Group 5A. As a result, the other elements donate or accept electrons so that they would be like the noble gases. Since metals are past their nearest noble gas element, they have to shed their electrons. When they do, they become cations which are positively charged ions.

A sample of ammonia has a mass of 82.9 g. how many molecules are in this sample?
alina1380 [7]
The chemical formula for ammonia is NH3. So first, you need to find the molar mass of ammonia (how many grams in one mole).
N=14g
H3=3g
So one mole of NH3 is 17 grams, you can divide 82.9 grams by 17 grams to find the number of molecules. The answer should be 4.876 moles (molecules) of ammonia. Hope this helps!

Read the following chemical equations.
lora16 [44]

This problem is providing two reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions in which the oxidized and reduced species can be identified by firstly setting the oxidation number of each element:

Reaction 1: 2K⁺I⁻ + H₂⁺O₂⁻  ⇒2K⁺O⁻²H⁺ + I₂⁰

Reaction 2: Cl₂⁰ + H₂⁰ ⇒ 2H⁺CI⁻

Next, we can see that iodine is being oxidized and oxygen reduced in reaction #1 and chlorine is being reduced and hydrogen oxidized in reaction #2 because the oxidized species increase the oxidation number whereas the reduced ones decrease it.

In such a way, the correct choice is C.

The reason it takes so much heat to melt ice or evaporate water is that extra energy is required to break _______ bonds between
mart [117]

It takes so much heat to melt ice or evaporate water because extra energy is required to break the hydrogen bonds between water molecules.

<h3>Hydrogen bond</h3>

Hydrogen bonding is an electrostatic force of attraction between a hydrogen atom found between a pair of other atoms having a high affinity for electrons.

Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other creating cohesion.

It takes so much heat to melt ice or evaporate water because extra energy is required to break the hydrogen bonds between water molecules.
