Which of the following elements will sulfur most readily react with in order to help it fill its outer shell with 8 electrons?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Gelneren [198K]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Magnesium

Explanation:

Using the KLMN styled electronic configuration, the electronic configuration of sulphur with atomic number 16 is 2, 8,6

What this means is that it needs extra 2 electrons to fill into its M shell to attain the octet configuration.

Now let’s look at Magnesium, with atomic number 12, the electronic configuration it has is 2,8,2.

This means it has 2 extra electrons to give away so as to attain its own stability.

The sulphur atom will gladly accept the two electrons which the magnesium atom wants to give away. This makes it the perfect element to be reacted with sulphur to make it attain its octet configuration

Why are chemical equations balanced?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The bonds between atoms in the reactants are rearranged to form new compounds in chemical reactions, but none of the atoms disappear and no new ones are formed. As a consequence, chemical equations must be balanced, meaning that the number and kinds of atoms must be the same on both sides of the reaction arrow.

How can there be more than 1000 different atoms when there are only about 100 different elements?
LekaFEV [45]
Actually, there are only about 100 atoms that have been yet discovered. But each element has many different kinds of atom. For instance, carbon. Do you know carbon has more than 30 or 50 different types of atoms? Well, how? There are isotopes. Don't think that there is only one carbon atom which has 6 electrons and 6 protons and 6 neutrons. There are more. C-13 has 6 electrons and 6 protons and 7 neutrons. While, C-14 has 6 electrons and 6 protons and 8 neutrons. I just showed you three stable isotopes of carbon(element). But, what is really an isotope?? Did you notice that all of these atoms had the same number of protons and electron but different numbers of neutrons? This is really an isotope. Well, if an atom takes a few more electrons or gives off a few electrons, it still stays the same element/ atom type. Just like that an element can have atoms of different neutron number. It may be less or more. It doesn't affect the atom much: just makes an isotope. But it does affect the atomic mass number or radioactivity of an atom. So, an element can have many different forms of isotopes of its atoms. In this way, being only 100 atoms, there can 1000 atoms or (more than that!). 

To make it more clear-

Definition of ISOTOPE: <span>any of two or more forms of a </span>chemical<span> element, having the same number of protons and electrons in the nucleus, or the same atomic number, but having different numbers of neutrons</span>

How many grams of salt are in 5 l of a solution with a concentration of 3 g/L
inn [45]

Answer: 15 grams of salt are there in 5 L of solution.

Explanation:

Concentration of a solution is defined as the number of grams of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Given : Concentration of solution : 3 g/L

1 Liter of solution contains = 3 gram of salt

Thus 5 L of solution contains = \frac{3g}{1L}\times 5L=15g

Thus 15 grams of salt are there in 5 L of solution.
