Explanation:

As it is given that the element contains a total of 8 electrons. So, electronic distribution of this element will be 2, 6.

That is, there will be two electrons present in first shell and there will be six electrons present in second valence shell.

Here, we also get to know that this element contains 6 valence electrons hence, it is a group 16 element.

Thus, we can conclude that if an element contains 8 electrons then 6 electrons will be placed in the 2nd valence shell.

If an element contains 8 electrons, then there would be 6 electrons that will be placed in the 2nd valence shell. Each shell in an atom can only take up a fixed number of electrons. For the first shell, only two electrons can be found. For the second shell, it can hold up to 8 electrons. However, for this case only six electrons can be found since the others are found in the first shell.

Which is a characteristic of atoms?
laila [671]

The  characteristic of atoms is

They are the smallest  units of  matter

<u><em> Explanation</em></u>

Atoms are  the  smallest  constituent  units of matter  and they have  properties of chemical  elements.

Atoms  can not  be broken by any  chemical means.

Atoms of an elements combine together    to form compound.

In  addition atoms  consist nucleus  of positively charged protons, neutral neutrons with  negatively charged electrons.

3. If 175 grams of nitrogen reacted with hydrogen to make hydrogen, how much ammonia would be needed?
zmey [24]

Answer:

37.5 g of H₂

Explanation:

N₂ (28g) + 3H₂ (6g) => 2NH₃ (34g)

Every 28g of N₂ needs 6g of H₂

=> Every 7g of N₂ needs 1.5g of H₂

=> 175g of N₂ needs 1.5 x 25 g of H₂

=> 37.5 g of H₂

2. Why was it important to examine both the color and the streak of your minerals? Think about streak and explain why it’s calle
Delicious77 [7]
It is important to examine both the colour and the streak of a mineral because the streak may be completely different from the colour of the hand specimen.
The streak of a mineral is the color it possesses after it has been grounded to a fine powder. The streak test has to be done on minerals because it is a more reliable way of identifying a mineral with its color.<span />

How many moles are in 123.0g (NH4)2SO4
Luda [366]
Here you go! There are 0.9307 moles in 123.0 g of the compound. I solved this by using a fence post method. I calculated the number of grams in one mol of (NH4)2 SO4 and got 132.16.

I did this by finding the atomic mass of each element on the periodic table (my work is in the color blue for this step)

After that, i divided the given mass by the mass of one mol of the compound.

The answer is 0.9307 moles!! I hope this helped you! :))
