How does the location of hydrogen on the periodic table differ from the locations of other nonmetals?

It's special, because it has only one electron, while the ideal "noble gas" configuration (helium) would call for two.

EXPLANATION:

So in one way it could 'try' to gain an electron as any element from halogen group (F-Cl-Br...) would do.
On the other hand it could lose its one electron, in which case it would belong to the alkali metals (Li-Na-K...).

In practice, H mostly shares its electron, either by covalent bonds, or by donating an electron and working together with H2O to form the H3O+or 'acid' ion.

In short, H is too special to to put it in a specific Group.

Answer:

n = 0.573mol

Explanation:

PV = nRT => n = PV/RT

P = 1.5atm

V = 8.56L

R = 0.08206Latm/molK

T = 0°C = 273K

n = (1.5atm)(8.56L)/(0.08206Latm/molK)(273K) = 0.573mol

How does the number of valence electrons in an atom relate to the elements placement on the periodic table?
frez [133]
If the number of valence electron is one than it will be placed in group IA. elements of group IIA will have two valence electrons and so on....

1. Provide a definition of an Arrhenius acid and an Arrhenius base. What has science determined to be the limitations of these d
lara [203]

Answer:

See Explanation ( = same answer for earlier question)

Explanation:

The Arrhenius acid-base theory defines an acid as a compound which when added into water increases the hydronium ion (H₃O⁺) concentration and the base as a compound which when added into water increases the hydroxide (OH⁻) ion concentration. As such, an acid-base reaction is limited to proton transfer to only OH⁻ ions forming water. Such would imply that all acid-base reactions produce water only in addition to a salt. This is not always the case as conjugate base anions for many substances can receive proton transfer.

Example: The reaction HOAc + NaCN => HCN + OAc-  will occur in aqueous media because the proton (H⁺) on acetic acid (HOAc) will transfer to the cyanate ion forming hydrocyanic acid (HCN). Such occurs because the CN⁻ ion is a stronger conjugate base than the acetate ion (OAc⁻) and forms the more stable weak acid.  Such is the basis of the Bronsted-Lowry Acid-Base system and states that an acid (proton donor) will transfer its ionizable hydrogen to a conjugate base (proton acceptor) if the transfer forms a weaker acid.
