How does the octet rule allow you to predict the charge an ion will have?

1 answer:

6 0

<span>Because of the octet rule, it is easy to predict the charge of the ion of an element. Look at the number of valence electrons the element has. If it is between 1 and 4 the atom will most likely loose those electrons to become stable, making it a positive ion with the charge of the number of electrons it will lose. If it has between 4 and 8 valence electrons the atom will most likely gain electrons to achieve a full outer ring of 8 electrons. Its atom will have a negative charge of the number of electrons it needs to have 8 total. Hope I Helped If You Don't Mind May I Have A Brainliest Answer Please? :)</span>

Why does it matter if atoms are divisible ???

Andreyy89

Atoms are divisible contrary to the early beliefs that the smallest "indivisible" matter is an atom. When an atom loses its identity it means that they are divisible. Atoms chemically react with other kinds of atoms thus changing their activity.

They certainly are not that important to our lives, but it’s good to know :)

The solubility of magnesium phosphate at a given temperature is 0.173 g/L. Calculate the Ksp at this temperature. After you calc

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: $K_{sp}=1.25\times 10^{-14}$

$pK_{sp}=13.90$

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as $K_{sp}$

The equation for the ionization of magnesium phosphate is given as:

$Mg_3(PO_4)_2\rightarrow 3Mg^{2+}+2PO_4^{3-}$

When the solubility of $Mg_3(PO_4)_2$ is S moles/liter, then the solubility of $Mg^{2+}$ will be 3S moles\liter and solubility of $PO_4^{3-}$ will be 2S moles/liter.

Thus S = 0.173 g/L or $\frac{0.173g/L}{262.8g/mol}=0.00065mol/L$

$K_{sp}=(3S)^3\times (2S)^2$

$K_{sp}=108S^5$

$K_{sp}=108\times (0.00065)^5=1.25\times 10^{-14}$

$pK_{sp}=-log(K_{sp})=\log (1.25\times 10^{-14})=13.90$

Which of the following has the smallest atomic radius: Mg2+, Mg, Ca2+, or Ca?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

The appropriate response is Mg2+. It has the smallest radius the would mean the littlest separation from it's the furthest shell to the core
Since magnesium has one less shell that calcium, Mg would have a little nuclear range. Besides, a particle of a component will have a little nuclear sweep than it's molecule be utilized as a part of its particle frame it has lost a shell
