Answer:
The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity
Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago
Explanation:
All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.
Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)
For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1
Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.
Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.
For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.
Answer:
The amount in grams of hydrogen gas produced is 0.551 grams
Explanation:
The parameters given are;
Number of atoms of potassium, aₙ = 3.289 × 10²³ atoms
Chemical equation for the reaction is given as follows;
2K + 2H₂O 
KOH + H₂
Avogadro's number, 
, regarding the number of molecules or atom per mole is given s follows;
= 6.02 × 10²³ atoms/mole
Therefore;
The number of moles of potassium present = 3.289 × 10²³/(6.02 × 10²³) = 0.546 moles
2 moles of potassium produces one mole of hydrogen gas, therefore;
1 moles of potassium produces 1/2 mole of hydrogen gas, and 0.546 moles of potassium will produce 0.546/2 moles of hydrogen which is 0.273 moles of hydrogen gas
The molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2.016 grams
Therefore, 0.273 moles will have a mass of 0.273×2.016 = 0.551 grams.
The amount in grams of hydrogen gas produced = 0.551 grams.
Answer:
Yes A redox reaction can be a combination reaction.
Two elements are mixed in a combination reaction to produce a single product.
Explanation:
Example: water formula
2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
Oxygen is reduced in this reaction when electrons are transferred from hydrogen to oxygen and hydrogen is also oxidized since oxygen from hydrogen accepts electrons. Oxygen is the oxidizing agent and hydrogen is the reducing agent.
2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
