Valence electrons is an electron that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond.Also, valence electrons have the ability to absord or release energy in the form of a photon. Valence electrons are in the energy level that is farthest aways from the nucleus. The valence electrons are the ones, that in a chemical reaction, are gained, lost or shared.

valance electrons that reside in the outermost shell of an atom in the highest energy level. They are important to atoms because the fewer valence electrons that the atom holds, it becomes less stable.

Which solution is a homogeneous mixture? sand and water salt and water salad dressing soil
Over [174]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A solution whose constituent particles are uniformly distributed in the solution  is known as a homogeneous solution.

In a homogeneous solution, particles of one solute completely dissolves in the solvent. This solution is also known a true solution.

When sand and water are mixed together then after a certain interval of time sand particles will settle at the bottom. Therefore, they do not dissolve in water. So, it is not a homogeneous solution.

When salt and water are mixed together then the salt particles will dissolve in water. Therefore, it is a homogeneous solution.

Salad dressing is not a homogeneous solution as it contains different solutions like oil, lemon juice etc which does not dissolve when mixed together.

On the other hand, soil is also not a homogeneous solution because we can visualize the distinct layers present in a soil. These layers when mixed in a solution does not dissolve so they did not form a homogeneous solution.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, salt and water is a homogeneous mixture.

A compound made of elements A and B, has a cubic unit cell. There is an A atom at each corner of the cube and an A atom at the c
Lorico [155]

Answer:

A₅B₄

Explanation:

Since we have one atom of element A at the center of each face of the unit cell, since the unit cell is a cubic cell, we have 6 faces. Since the atom on the face of the unit cell is shared with another cell, we have half of it in the unit cell is shared So, the number of atoms per face is 1/2 atom/face × 6 faces = 4 atoms on the faces of the unit cell.

Also, we have 1 atom at each corner of the cubic unit cell. Since there are 8 corner in the cubic unit cell. Also, each atom at the corner is shared with 8 unit cells, so we have 1/8 atom per corner. So, the number of atoms per unit cell is 1/8 atom/corner × 8 corners = 1 atoms at the corners of the unit cell.

So, in total we have 4 + 1 = 5 atoms of element A in the unit cell.

Also, there are 4 atoms of element B in the unit cell.

So, the ratio of atoms of element A to element B is 5 : 4.

A:B = 5:4

So, the empirical formula of the compound containing elements A and B is A₅B₄

You wish to make a 0.289 M hydroiodic acid solution from a stock solution of 3.00 M hydroiodic acid. How much concentrated acid
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

V_1=9.63mL

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we work on a dilution process in which we can state that the moles remain the same after the dilution process. In such a way, we can write:

n_1=n_2\\

That in terms of molarities and volumes is:

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

Whereas M_1 is the initial molarity (3.00 M) of the stock solution, M_2 the molarity of the diluted solution (0.289 M), V_1 the aliquot of the stock (concentrated) solution and V_2 the volume of the diluted solution (100 mL), thus, we compute V_1 as required:

V_1=\frac{M_2V_2}{M_1} =\frac{0.289M*100mL}{3.00M} \\\\V_1=9.63mL

Best regards.
