The right answer is D. three electrons are gained, creating N-3

Nitrogen has 5 electrons in it's valence shell and octet rule states that the valence shell must have 8 electrons. To satisfy that, Nitrogen gains 3 electrons that are negatively charged.Therefore, it gets a negative charge.

Why is an alloy is often more useful than a pure metal

mrs_skeptik [129]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

A pure metal has specific properties. Sometimes we need that metal but with modified properties. So for the modification of properties we make alloys.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

An alloy is a mixture of two elements, one of which is a metal.
Alloys often have properties that are different to the metals they contain.
This makes them more useful than the pure metals alone.
For example, alloys are often harder than the metal they contain.

Calculate the radius of a tantalum (ta) atom, given that ta has a bcc crystal structure, a d ensity of 16.6 g/cm3, and an atomic

Sidana [21]

solution:

$Ta is BCC, a=\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}r},n=2atoms/cell\\p=16.6gram/cm^3,A=180.9gram/mol\\P=\frac{A\times n}{N_{a}\times v}=\frac{180.9\frac{gram}{mol}\times 2 \frac{atom}{cell}}{6.023\times10^23\frac{atom}{mol}\times(\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}\times r})^3\frac{cm^3}{cell}}\\=16.6\frac{gram}{cm^3}\\r=(\frac{180.9\times2}{16.6\times6.023\times10^23\times(\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}})^3})^\frac{1}{3}\times10^8$

Write electron configurations for Gallium, Ga (Z=31), and show the total valence electrons

ivann1987 [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The electronic configuration of gallium is written below and number of valence electrons is 3.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Electronic configuration is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.

Number of electrons in an atom is determined by the atomic number of that atom.

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.

We are given:

An element Gallium having atomic number as 31.

Number of electrons = 31

Electronic configuration of Gallium is: $(Z=31):1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^1$

This element has 3 electrons in its outermost shell. So, the number of valence electrons is 3

Hence, the electronic configuration of gallium is written below and number of valence electrons is 3.

Which choice describes a population? A. all the gray squirrels that live in a forest B. a nonliving factor in an organism's envi

goldenfox [79]

I believe D. because all the organisms that live in a lake can be a bunch of living things that would be considered a population and not a species. I canceled out B. from the get go because, I don’t believe non living organisms can be in a population ?

Please get back to me if I’m right or wrong :)
