A potassium atom has a higher proton number meaning that it has more protons and electrons. Due to the Octet Rule, the more electrons an atom has the more shells it has and so will be bigger in size.

Helium has a density of 1.79 x 10-4 g/mL at standard temperature and pressure. A balloon has a volume of 6.3 liters. Calculate t
LenaWriter [7]
The density of He is 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g/mL
In other words in 1 mL there's 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g of He. 
To fill a volume of 6.3 L the mass of He required 
    = 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g/mL * 6300 mL
   = 11 277 * 10⁻⁴ g
  Therefore mass of He required = 1.1277 g of He

How many moles of dinitrogen monoxide are present in 9.3 x 10^22 molecules of this compound?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

<h2>0.15 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities.

From the question we have

n =  \frac{9.3 \times  {10}^{22} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\  = 0.154485...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.15 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

How many electrons would Boron with a +2 charge have?
irina [24]

5 electrons

Boron atomic number 5 has five electrons in its ground state.

Commonly Boron will lose 3 electrons leaving 2 electrons in its most common ionic form.

Explanation:

The atomic number gives the number of protons. Protons which have a positive charge are balanced by an equal number of electrons in a neutral atom.

Boron number 5 has five protons and therefore as a neutral atom also has five electrons.

Boron has an electron configuration of

1s22s22p1

The most stable electron configuration for Boron is

1s2

+ 3 charges. By losing three electrons Boron can achieve the stable electron structure of Helium
