Answer:

1 for F

4 for Si

1  for Br

2 for O

3 for P

2 for S

Explanation:

Atoms form bonds with other atoms with the purpose of completing their outer energy levels. So a good strategy of predicting how many bonds an atom will form is to first establish how many electrons it needs to complete its valence shell.

F has 7 valence electrons, it needs one more electron to complete its valence shell so it forms one bond

Si has 4 valence electrons, it needs four more so it forms four bonds

O has 6 valence electrons, it needs two more so it forms two bonds

Would your results be he same if 1.5 g of barium chloride was used instead of 1.3 g? same with 0.7 g of barium chloride?
pickupchik [31]
For a chemical reaction, the results would be the same with different amounts of barium chloride present if barium chloride is not the limiting reactant of the reaction. The limiting reactant is the substance that is totally consumed when the reaction proceeds to completion. In other words, it dictates the amount of products that will be produced. Otherwise, if barium chloride is the limiting reactant, the amount of barium chloride present would definitely affect the results.

Which of the following statements about decomposition reactions is true?
Andreyy89
C

Decomposition is of this form: A becomes B+C ... so after the reaction, the element A DECOMPOSES into two smaller elements, B and C.

Synthesis is the opposite: B+C becomes A AFTER THE REACTION.

Hope that helps :))
