electron dot structure

Explanation:

Chemical reactions are driven by transfer or sharing of electrons between two or more atoms. To show a specie that is reactive, a sound knowledge of the distribution of electrons in the atom is necessary.

  • The electron dot structure shows only chemical symbol of the element surrounded by dots which represents the valence electrons.
  • The chemical symbol represents the nucleus and all electrons except the valence ones.
  • The dots arranged on the four sides are called lone pairs. Those that are unpaired are called odd electrons.
  • Chlorine has 7 valence electrons in its outermost shell.
  • It is made up of 3 lone pairs and 1 odd pair of electron.
  • The odd pair accounts for the reason why chlorine is very reactive.
  • It will only require just one electron to join the odd pair so as to complete the octet and be like the noble gases.

What is the mass of 6.02 x 10^23 atoms of potassium
guajiro [1.7K]

So we know that this amount of atoms is Avogadro's number - the number of atoms in 1 mole of a substance.

So then, using dimensional analysis, we can find the mass, in grams, of potassium.

First we must find the molar weight of potassium as found on the periodic table: 39.098g/mol

Then we can solve directly for mass:

\frac{6.022x10^{23}atoms}{1}*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}atoms}*\frac{39.098g}{1mol}=39.098g

Therefore, the amount of atoms you have given, in terms of mass, will equal 39.098g - if the answer requires significant figures, then the mass would be 39.1g of potassium.

2. What changes when an ion is made from an atom?
liraira [26]
When an ion is formed, the number of protons does not change. By removing an electron from this atom we get a positively charged Na+ ion that has a net charge of +1. Atoms that gain extra electrons become negatively charged. A neutral chlorine atom, for example, contains 17 protons and 17 electrons

Not yet answered Points possible: 1.00 The equivalence point of any acid-base titration can be determined visually from a titrat
pshichka [43]

The volume of the base should be gradually increased, stopping once the equivalence point is achieved. At the volume halfway between the equivalence point and the acid, the acid's pKa is equal to the pH.

<h3>What is titration, for instance?</h3>

Titration, sometimes referred to as titrimetry, is a method for calculating the concentration of a specific analyte in a mixture that is used in chemical qualitative analysis. Titration, which is also sometimes referred to as volumetric analysis, is a crucial analytical chemistry method.

<h3>What governs titration in its basic form?</h3>

The following is the fundamental titration principle: The sample being studied is given a solution, referred to as a titrant or standard solution. A chemical is present in the titrant in a known concentration.
