Answer: Two valence electrons.

Explanation: Ionization energy is the energy required to remove electrons from valence shell of an atom in its gaseous state.

More closer are the electrons to the nucleus, more energy is required to remove them. Ionization energy increases as the effective nuclear charge increases.

First two ionization energy values are low and there isn't a much difference between them but the third ionization energy is very much high as compared to first and second ionization energy values. The fourth ionization energy value is also closer to third ionization energy value.

It indicates that first and second electrons are removed from same shell. Similarly, third and fourth electrons are also removed from same shell which is different than the shell from which first and second electrons are removed.

So, outer most shell that is valence shell has only two electrons. Third ionization energy has increased a lot as the third electron is removed from the inner shell and first two electrons are removed from valence shell.

Propane, the gas used in barbeque grills, is made of carbon and hydrogen. Will the atoms that make up propane form covalent bond
Masteriza [31]
Hydrocarbons are molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen. Due to carbon's unique bonding patterns, hydrocarbons can have single, double, or triple bonds between the carbon atoms. The names of hydrocarbons with single bonds end in "-ane," those with double bonds end in "-ene," and those with triple bonds end in "-yne". The bonding of hydrocarbons allows them to form rings or chains.

Lab 27. stoichiometry and chemical reactions: which balanced chemical equation best represents the thermal decomposition of sodi
Cloud [144]
Answer:
             Sodium Bicarbonate on decomposition produces Carbon dioxide gas and Water vapors.

<span>                       2 NaHCO</span>₂<span> </span> →<span>  Na</span>₂<span>CO</span>₃<span> (s)  </span>+ <span> CO</span>₂<span> (g)  +  H</span>₂<span>O (g)

Explanation:
                   Let suppose you burn 168 g ( 2 moles ) of NaHCO₃, a gas will produced and product is left behind. On measuring the product formed it will be almost equal to 105 g. This shows that the product is Na₂CO₃ and 1 mole of it is being produced after decomposition of sodium bicarbonate.
