Given :

a. $BH_x$ b. $CH_x$ c. $NH_x$ d. $CH_2Cl_x$ .

To Find :

Find the most likely vale of x for each one .

Solution :

a . $BH_x$

Because boron have valency of 3 .

So , x = 3 .

b . $CH_x$

Valency of carbon is 4 .

x = 4 .

c . $NH_x$

Valency of nitrogen is 3 .

Therefore , x = 3 .

d . $CH_2Cl_x$

Now ,we know valency of carbon is 4 and hydrogen is 1 .

Also , two hydrogen are already there .

So , only 2 electrons left to share .

Since , chlorine have valency of 1 .

Therefore , only 2 electrons of chlorine can connect .

x = 2 .

Hence , this is the required solution .

How do you determine valence electrons of a metal? A non Metal?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Check the electronic configuration of elements.

Explanation:

▪Valence electrons are the elwctrons present in the outermost shell of any element.

For example,

Electronic Configuration of Sodium = 2,8,1

Here , Sodium has 1 valence electrons.

▪Valency of an element is the total no. of electrons to be gained/losed in order to achieve duplet/octate state.

For example,

Electronic configuration of Sodium = 2,8,1

Sodium can achieve octate state either by losing 1 electron or gaining 7 electrons. But losing 1 electron is eay than gaining 7 electrons. So Valency of Sodium = +1

☆Metals have 1 or 2 or 3 valence electrons.

☆Non metals have 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 valence electrons.

☆Noble gases tend to stay in duplet/octate state i.e they have 2 or 8 valence electrons.

Potassium is isotopic and has RAM of 39.5 work out the percentage abundance of each isotope in a given sample of potassium which

Troyanec [42]

Yo sup??

Let the percentage of K-39 be x

then the percentage of K-40 is 100-(x+0.01)

We know that the net weight should be 39.5. Therefore we can say

(39*x+40*(100-(x+0.01))+38*0.01)/100=39.5

(since we are taking it in percent)

39*x+40*(100-(x+0.01))+38*0.01=3950

39x+4000-40x-0.4+0.38=3950

2x=49.98

x=24.99

=25 (approx)

Therefore K-39 is 25% in nature and K-40 is 75% in nature.

Hope this helps.

In NMR if a chemical shift(δ) is 211.5 ppm from the tetramethylsilane (TMS) standard and the spectrometer frequency is 556 MHz,

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The answer is: 11759 Hz

Explanation:

Given: Chemical shift: δ = 211.5 ppm, Spectrometer frequency = 556 MHz = 556 × 10⁶ Hz

In NMR spectroscopy, the chemical shift (δ), expressed in ppm, of a given nucleus is given by the equation:

$\delta (ppm) = \frac{Observed\,frequency (Hz)}{Frequency\,\, of\,\,the\,Spectrometer (MHz)} \times 10^{6}$

$\therefore Observed\,frequency (Hz)= \frac{\delta (ppm)\times Frequency\,\, of\,\,the\,Spectrometer (MHz)}{10^{6}}$

$Observed\,frequency= \frac{211.5 ppm \times 556 \times 10^{6} Hz}{10^{6}} = 11759 Hz$

<u>Therefore, the signal is at 11759 Hz from the TMS.</u>

a block of wood has a density of 0.95 g/cm3. will it float or sink when placed on a liquid with a density of 0.88 g/mL? explain

vesna_86 [32]

Since 1mL=1cm^3 the wood would sink due to it being more dense. I.e. 0.95>0.88
