Why is it harder to remove an inner shell electron than a valence electron from an atom

2 answers:

8 0

I should think because the valence bonds want to escape and bond more whereas the inner layers are for the most part stable

They're closer to the nuclei....ionization energy is higher. having inner shells and a valence only means that the inner shells are conpletely filled and stable.
valence electrons are easily removed only if the number of electrons is =<3 otherwise, they gain rlectrons.

Calculate the number of moles of Californium represented by 5.92 x 1024 atoms of Californium. Enter your answer in the provided

Fed [463]

Answer:

9.834 moles Cf.

Explanation:

The number of moles of a substance is an easy way to represents its amount. Avogadro has determined that the total amount in 1 mol is equal to 6.02x10²³(Avgadros' number), so 1 mol has 6.02x10²³ atoms, molecules, ions, or what we are measuring. So:

1 mol of Cf -------------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms

x -------------------- 5.92x10²⁴

By a simple direct three rule:

6.02x10²³x = 5.92x10²⁴

x = 5.92x10²⁴/6.02x10²³

x = 9.834 moles Cf
