How does sulfur’s number of valence electrons influence its behavior toward other atoms?

1 answer:

3 0

Generally, Sulfur will take on 2 electrons and make a -2 ion, unless it is in the presence of a highly electronegative atom like Oxygen then it can form a +6 ion.

what type of element can turn into both solid and liquid form depending on the temperature of its surroundings ?

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

An Atom can turn into both solid and liquid form depending on the temperature of its surroundings

Explanation:

Scientists have discovered a new state of physical matter in which atoms can exist as both solid and liquid simultaneously. Researchers have found, however, that some elements can, when subjected to extreme conditions, take on the properties of both solid and liquid states.

N the reaction Mg + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + H2 which element’s oxidation number does not change?

BartSMP [9]

Answer:- Oxidation number of Cl does not change as it is -1 on both sides.

Explanations:- oxidation number of Mg on reactant side is 0 as it is in its elemental form(not combined with another element).

Oxidation number of hydrogen in its compounds is +1, so if H is +1 in HCl the oxidation number of Cl is -1 as the sum has to be zero.

On product side, Mg oxidation number is +2 as the oxidation number of alkaline earth metals in their compounds is +2.

Two Cl are present in magnesium chloride, so if Mg is +2 then Cl is -1.

Oxidation number of H on product side is 0 as it is present in its elemental for, $H_2$ ,

So, it is only chlorine(Cl) whose oxidation number does not change for the given equation.

What is the proper solution to the following equation? Answer with correct significant figures. (23.1 + 5.61 + 1.008) × 7.6134 ×

OleMash [197]

(23.1 + 5.61 + 1.008) × 7.6134 × 8.431

= 29.718 × 7.6134 × 8.431

=1907.55608

The equation is solved in the manner that the term in the bracket is added first then mutiplication is done as according to Bodmas rule, if an equation contains brackets that need to be solved first then other operation that is division,multiplication, addition and subtraction are performed from left to right .
