How many electrons will a single atom of sulfur with no charge and no bonds have in its valence shell?

Answer:

There are 6 electrons in the outermost shell.

Explanation:

Sulphur is a non-mettalic element which is in the period 3 and group .6on the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 16 and a Mass number of 32. Atomic number tells you the number of electrons in an electrically neutral atom. It has the electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4.

The orbitals have a formula 2n^2 where n = 0, 1, 2, 3 etc.

In the shells, n = 1 so there are 2 electrons. For n = 2, 2*(2)^2 = 8 electrons. So, 16 - (8 + 2) = 6 electrons in the 3 shell (outermost shell)

Therefore from the electronic confriguration above, there are 6 electrons in the outermost shell.

Answer:

6

Explanation:

Sulfur is an element that can be found on Group 6 and Period 3 on the periodic table with the Atomic Mass 32 and Atomic Number 16.

In an electronic configuration, the maximum number of electrons in a given shell can be obtained using the formula 2n², where n represent the number of valence shell.

Therefore in the first shell when n=1;

the maximum number of electrons it can contain is 2 × 1² = 2

For the second shell, when n= 2

the maximum number of electrons it can contain is 2 × 2² = 2 × 4 = 8

For the third shell, when n= 3

the maximum number of electrons it can contain is 2 × 3² = 2 × 9 = 18

.......

Now, in a single atom of sulphur with no charge and no bonds, the Atomic Number is said to be 16

We can therefore determine the number of the electrons in the outermost valence shell to be 6 because, the first shell takes 2 electrons, the second shell takes 8 electrons and the third shell takes 6. All together making 16 electrons.

Please Help Me with This
densk [106]

Answer:

Explanation:

a). Find the graph attached for the motion.

b). If a shopper walk 5.4 m westwards then 7.8 m eastwards,

   Distance traveled by the shopper = Distance traveled in eastwards + Distance traveled westwards

                                                            = 5.4 + 7.8

                                                            = 13.2 m

c). Displacement of the shopper = Distance walked westwards - Distance traveled eastwards

                                                      = 5.4 - 7.8

                                                      = -2.4 m

Therefore, magnitude of the displacement of the shopper is = 2.4 m

And the direction of the displacement is eastwards.

a concave lens creates a virtual image at -47.0 cm and a magnification of +1.75. what is the focal length?
Lilit [14]

The focal length of given concave lens will be -26.85 cm

The height of an image to the height of an object is the ratio that is used to determine a lens' magnification. Additionally, it is provided in terms of object and image distance. It is equivalent to the object distance to image distance ratio.

Given  concave lens creates a virtual image at -47.0 cm and a magnification of +1.75.

We have to find focal length

The focal length can be found out by following way:

Magnification = m = +1.75

m = hi/h

hi = -47 cm

1.75 = -47/h

h = -26.85 cm

So the focal length of given concave lens will be -26.85 cm

Our body contains ______________ potential energy from food we have eaten.
Alisiya [41]

Answer: Our body contains chemical potential energy from food we have eaten.

This chemical potential energy is transformed into the kinetic energy of our hands and arms as we rub our hands together.

As our hands move past each other and rub against each other, friction allows the kinetic energy to be transformed into thermal energy on the surface of our hands.

Explanation:

It is true that our food contains chemical bonds and these bonds have potential energy stored. So, when we eat food then our body acquires chemical potential energy.

When we rub our hands and arms then they form kinetic energy as atoms present within the skin of our hands come into motion. This rubbing of hands leads to the formation of heat which means thermal energy is being generated.

Thus, we can conclude that our body contains chemical potential energy from food we have eaten.

This chemical potential energy is transformed into the kinetic energy of our hands and arms as we rub our hands together.

As our hands move past each other and rub against each other, friction allows the kinetic energy to be transformed into thermal energy on the surface of our hands.

An electromagnet on the ceiling of an airplane holds a steel ball. When a button is pushed, the magnet releases the ball. The ex
blagie [28]

Answer:

The ball will fall on the X .

Explanation:

At height,  when the aeroplane is in great speed , everything attached with it acquires the same speed . So ball will also have the same speed as the aeroplane have. When ball  starts falling off , it gets detached from plane but , at the same time it continues to travel with its earlier speed , because of inertia of motion. So it remains stationary with respect to plane in horizontal direction . It has velocity with respect to plane only in vertical direction. Hence it will fall on the X. It is due to first law of motion.
