Chemistry

lys-0071 [83]3 years ago
5 0
<span>The student is incorrect because helium has 2 valence electrons and it's in group 18 because the first energy level is full. Although helium is placed in Group 18 which generally has 8 valence electrons, it does not have 8 valence electrons as the student suggested. It was grouped together with the noble gases because it exhibits similar properties with them. </span>

What property of argon is uses in light bulbs?
otez555 [7]
<span>The filament of the light bulb will get very hot. This will encourage a chemical reaction with most gases that are surrounding that filament - and the result is that the filament burns out. If the filament is in air, it combines with the carbon of carbon dioxide in the air, and the filament disintegrates. But argon is an inert gas - almost nothing reacts with it. So the filament takes a very long time (theoretically infinity) to burn out. But the bulb cannot contain 100% argon: 99.9% is typical; the remaining 0.1% being air. The bulb manufacturers can control the 'life' of a bulb, based on that principle: they do not want their bulbs to last forever!</span>
