The valence part is referring to the outer most ring of electrons. Carbon only has four on the 'valence' or outer most ring helping it to form bonds with other things. I hope this helps!! Good Luck!!! :)
Average atomic mass of an element is a sum of the product of the isotope mass and its relative abundance.
For example: Chlorine has 2 isotopes with the following abundances
Cl(35): Atomic mass = 34.9688 amu; Abundance = 75.78%
Cl(37): Atomic mass = 36.9659 amu; Abundance = 24.22 %
Average atomic mass of Cl = 34.9688(0.7578) + 36.9659(0.2422) =
= 26.4993 + 8.9531 = 35.4524 amu
Thus, the term “ average atomic mass “ is a <u>weighted</u> average so it is calculated differently from a normal average
The molar mass of Sb2S3 is approximately equal to 339.7 g/mol. We calculate the number of moles of Sb2S3 by dividing the given mass by the molar mass.
n = 23.5 g / (339.7 g/mol)
n = 0.0692 mols
To calculate for the number of formula units, we multiply the number of mols by the Avogadro's number,
number of formula units = (0.0692 mols)(6.022 x 10^3)
= 4.167 x 10^22 formula units
Answer:
A- Non-magnetic
Explanation:
Brass, rubber, plastic, and glass will not be attracted by a magnet.
Answer: option D. The attractive forces between the sodium and chloride ions are overcome by the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions.
Explanation:
<em>Solid sodium chloride</em> (NaCl) is a ionic compound formed by ionic bonds between by the positive, metallic cations of sodium atom, Na⁺, and the negative, non-meatllic anions of chlorine atom, Cl⁻ (chloride).
Ionic bonds, then, are the electrostatic attracion between oppositely charged particles (cations and anions).
<em />
<em>When solid sodium chloride dissolves in water</em>, the ions (cations and anions) are separated in the solvent (water) due to the superior attracitve forces between such ions and the polar water molecules.
<em>Water</em> (H₂O) is a molecule, formed by polar covalent bonds between two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
The polarity of water molecule is due to the fact that oxygen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen atoms, which cause that the electron density is closer to oxygen nuclei than to hydrogen nuclei. This asymmetry in the electron density conferes a partial positive charge over each hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge over the oxygen atoms.
Thus, the positively charged hydrogen atoms attract and surround the negative chloride (Cl⁻) anions, while the negatively charged oxygen atoms attract and surround the positive sodium (Na⁺) cations. It is only because the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions are stronger than the attractive forces between the sodiium and chloride ions that such ions may be kept separated in the solution. This process is called solvation and the ions are said to be solvated by the water molecules.
