Silicon must have 4 single covalent bond, every single bond has 2 electrons (one pair), so 4·2=8 electrons (octet).

The model of a “sea of electrons” helps explain ____.

andriy [413]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.) metallic bonds

Explanation:

Metallic bonds are formed between metal compounds and are very strong. These links are explained by the "sea model of electrons", where valence electrons are ceded by each metal atom, becoming positive ions forming a three-dimensional crystalline network. These electrons move forming a network ("sea") that allows the union of the positive ions formed.

Which of these are ionic compounds? Check all that apply.

SIZIF [17.4K]

I think the correct answers from the choices listed above are the first, third and the last option. Ionic compounds are compounds that dissociates into ions when in aqueous solution. From the list, NH4Cl, KF and MgO are the ionic compounds. Hope this answers the question.

What is the density of an object if its mass is 10 g and a volume of 2 mL?

Lilit [14]

Hi there! Let's solve this problem shall we!

⠀Volume = 10g

Mass = 2 mL

In this specific problem, they are asking us to find the <u><em>density </em></u>of the object. So,<u><em> using the information given to us</em></u> (volume and mass), let's solve the problem!

Now, if you remember, D = M ÷ V

So, let's fill in the blanks!

D = Our unknown value

M = 2mL

V = 10g

Here is the filled out formula:

D = M ÷ V

D = 2mL ÷ 10g

D = 5 g/mL

*Make sure you put the units for your final solution!*

What is the difference between atomic mass, relative atomic mass and average atomic mass

vesna_86 [32]

$\bold{\huge{\underline{\purple{ Answer }}}}$

<u>Difference </u><u>between </u><u>Atomic </u><u>mass</u><u>, </u><u>relative </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass </u><u>and </u><u>average </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

<h3><u>Atomic </u><u>Mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Atomic mass is the mass of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of an atom .
It is always calculated for a single element and having direct value
For isotopes also, the atomic mass is calculated separately . Example :- <u>Carbon </u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>carbon </u><u>1</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>carbon </u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>have </u><u>different </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass</u><u>. </u>
The SI unit of Atomic mass is " u" and "amu"

<h3><u>Relative </u><u>Atomic </u><u>mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Relative atomic mass is mean mass of the atoms of an element which is compared to the 1/12th mass of carbon - 12 .
Carbon - 12 is taken as a relative when we calculate the relative atomic mass of any element
For calculating relative atomic mass, we need to know the masses, percentage and abundance of all types of elements
Relative atomic mass is a dimension less quantity

<h3><u>Average </u><u>Atomic </u><u>Mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Average atomic mass is the average mass of an atoms of a particular element by considering it's isotopes
While we calculate average atomic mass is a standardized number. Whereas, Average atomic mass sometimes varies geologically .
It also includes percentage, abundance and masses of given element .
In average atomic mass, We do not compare mean value with the 1/12 mass of carbon - 12
The unit of Average atomic mass is "Amu" or " u " .
