How many valence electrons in Al(OH)4-

Chemistry
2 answers:
Amanda [17]3 years ago

Answer: There is 1 valence electron in Al(OH)4-

Explanation:

The valence electrons are the electrons that are present in the outer shell of an atom.

In this case, the "Al" works with 3 electrons of valence, while the "OH-" has only 1 electron of valence, however we have 4 atoms of "OH-", in this case, the OH- donates a lone pair of atoms to make the covalent bonds with the "Al"  but  kind of weak, that is why , usually this molecule has special conditions to be formed, like high pH, where the negative state remain longer.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

There is only one valence electron in  Al(OH)4- anion.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Valency is the number of electrons in the outer most shell of an atom.
  • In this compound, aluminium has the valency of +3. It means Al needs only 3 electrons to complete its outer most shell.
  • Hence the stable molecule Al(OH)3.
  • But the addition of one another OH- leads to the negative charge and there is one spare electron which can make bond to an atom to stable the compound.

Answer:

In the 1770s, the English clergyman Joseph Priestley (who is credited with the discovery of O2) established the production of oxygen by vegetables recognizing that the process was, apparently, the inverse of animal respiration, which consumed such chemical element.

Explanation:

In 1772, Joseph Priestley in his Recherches sur diversces especes d'air differentiated the air of animal respiration from that emitted by vegetables in the presence of light. Of the latter, which he called "dephlogistic air", he highlighted his purifying property of the environment indicating that: plants far from affecting the air in the same way as animal respiration, produce the opposite effects, and tend to preserve the sweet and healthy atmosphere , when it becomes harmful as a result of the life and breathing of the animals or their death and their rot.

In 1780, Jean Ingeshousz in his Experiences sur les vegetaux completed and reaffirmed the observations of Joseph Priestley. At the same time, he could deny Charles Bonnet's hypothesis, by demonstrating that the air expelled from the leaves comes from inside, and that the stimulating factor of the gaseous emission was not the heat produced by the sun, but the intensity of the light .

It was, finally, Jean Senebier that between 1782 and 1784, found that the "fixed air" dissolved in the water favors the vegetation. From these observations, he hypothesized that "fixed air" (carbon dioxide) is absorbed by the plants, which take it from the atmosphere with the humidity it has and in which it is mixed. Once this gas has been captured, both from the atmosphere and from the ground, it is decomposed in the presence of light by the leaves, releasing the "vital air" (oxygen) and leaving the carbon in the plant.

Thus, at the end of the century the participation of the atmosphere in plant dynamics was already seated, although the how and why of this participation were still unknown and no theory had been formulated to explain the nutritional process as a whole.
