Answer:
D
Explanation:
Oxygen is the 8th element in the periodic table. This means that oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons. In order to get the number of neutrons you take the atomic weight in this case 15.9999~16 and you subtract it by the number of protons (16-8).
Answer:
In ionic bonding, atoms transfer electrons to each other. Ionic bonds require at least one electron donor and one electron acceptor. In contrast, atoms with the same electronegativity share electrons in covalent bonds, because neither atom preferentially attracts or repels the shared electrons.
Answer: 317 joules
Explanation:
The quantity of heat energy (Q) gained by aluminium depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)
Thus, Q = MCΦ
In this case,
Q = ?
Mass of aluminium = 50.32g
C = 0.90J/g°C
Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)
= 16°C - 9°C = 7°C
Then, Q = MCΦ
Q = 50.32g x 0.90J/g°C x 7°C
Q = 317 joules
Thus, 317 joules of heat is gained.
Their valence electrons don't give them the ability to bond, they are also not in need to any electrons, since they won't get an octet soon.
