What semimetal can form four single covalent bonds.

Chemistry
1 answer:
lesantik [10]3 years ago
4 0

The right answer is Sillicon.

Silicon (Si) is the chemical element of atomic number 14. It is the most abundant element in the earth's crust after oxygen, or 25.7% of its mass, but it is comparatively only present in relatively small quantities in the material constituting the living.

It is a semi-metal, ie it does not meet all the criteria to be defined as being a metal.

It has four free electrons in the last orbit, so it is able to form four covalent bonds. (the carbon can form 4 covalent bonds but it is not a semi-metal)

Write the balanced molecular and net ionic equations for the reaction between aluminum metal and silver nitrate. identify the ox
asambeis [7]

Well in this case, silver nitrate is reduced:

Ag<span>+  </span><span>+  </span>e<span>−  </span>→ Ag(s) ↓

 

Meanwhile, the aluminum is oxidized forming a positive ion:

Al(s<span>)  →  </span>Al<span>3+  </span><span>+  3</span>e−

 

To get the overall reaction,  we add the half equations so that the electrons are eliminated:

Al(s<span>)  +   3</span>Ag<span>+  </span><span>→  </span>Al<span>3+  </span><span>+  3</span>Ag(s)

 

And similarly:

Al(s<span>)  +  3</span>AgNO3(aq<span>)  →  </span>Al(NO3)3(aq<span>)  +  3</span>Ag(s<span>)</span>

Un deportista de 72 kg trepa por una cuerda hasta una altura de 12m. Calcula el incremento de energía potencial gravitatoria que
Oxana [17]

A 72 kg athlete climbs a rope to a height of 12m. Calculate the increase in gravitational potential energy it has experienced.

Answer:

8467.2J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the athlete = 72kg

Height of the climb  = 12m

Unknown:

Increase in gravitational potential energy it has experienced = ?

Solution:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. It is mathematically expressed as;

  Gravitational potential energy  = m x g x h

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

h is the height

   Insert the parameters and solve;

  Gravitational potential energy  = 72 x 9.8 x 12

  GPE = 8467.2J

quizlet nitrogen can have variable number of nuetrons(isotopes) it can also have varible number of electrons ehile becomon an io
mafiozo [28]

Nitrogen has 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 7 electrons.

Seven protons, seven neutrons, and seven electrons make up nitrogen-14.

Utilize the atomic number and mass number of an atom to determine the number of subatomic particles it contains: Atomic number Equals proton count. Electron count equals atomic number. Atomic number - mass number equals the number of neutrons.

Seven protons, seven neutrons, and seven electrons make up the atom of nitrogen. The nucleus is the collection of protons and neutrons that make up the center of an atom. The 7 electrons, which are much smaller than the nucleus, orbit it in what is known as orbits. Since nitrogen-14 is a neutral atom, the number of protons in its nucleus must match the number of electrons around it.
