Answer:
C. two atoms of oxygen.
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Silicon has 14 electrons
Silicon is part of Group IV, all the elements there have 4 valence electrons.
It can form a compound when 4 valence electrons bind with the 4 valence elctrons of silicon
A. four atoms of calcium.
Calcium has 2 valence elctrons. 4 atoms of calcium <u>cannot bind</u> on 1 atom of silicon since there are only 4 valence electrons.
B. one atom of chlorine.
1 atom of chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can bind with an atom with 1 valence electron. Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, they will <u>not bind.</u>
Silicon can bind with 4 atoms of chlorine to form SiCl4
C. two atoms of oxygen.
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, this means oxygen can bind with an element with 2 valence electrons.
Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, it <u>can bind</u> with 2 atoms of oxygen to form SiO2 (silicon dioxide).
D. three atoms of hydrogen.
Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. 1 hydrogen atom can bind with an element that has 7 valence electrons.
Three atoms of hydrogen can bind with an element that has 5 valence electrons.
Silicon <u>will not</u> bind with 3 atoms of hydrogen ( but can bind with 4 atoms of hydrogen)
Answer:
Holmium can absorb neutrons, so it is used in nuclear reactors to keep a chain reaction under control. Its alloys are used in some magnets. Holmium has no known biological role, and is non-toxic. Holmium is found as a minor component of the minerals monazite and bastnaesite.
Explanation:
this is basically used in industries
Answer:
mass CaI2 = 23.424 Kg
Explanation:
From the periodic table we obtain for CaI2:
⇒ molecular mass CaI2: 40.078 + ((2)(126.90)) = 293.878 g/mol
∴ mol CaI2 = (4.80 E25 units )×(mol/6.022 E23 units) = 79.708 mol CaI2
⇒ mass CaI2 = (79.708 mol CaI2)×(293.878 g/mol) = 23424.43 g
⇒ mass CaI2 = 23.424 Kg
