Chemical formulas are used to describe the types of atoms and their numbers in an element or compound. The atoms of each element are represented by 1 or 2 different letters. When more that one atom of a specific element is found in a molecule, a subscript is used to indicate this in the chemical formula.

16. As he developed his periodic table, Mendeleev grouped the elements lithium,
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

the reactivity and the valence electrons

Explanation:

the reactivity of the elements would have played a significant role in why such elements were grouped together. the number of valence electrons dictates how reactive an element is - the less valence electrons the more reactive it is. the column, group 1 in which these elements are put together in, show that each of the elements have 1 valence electrons and are therefore reactive.

you can go on to further explain what valence electrons are, explain what the group numbers are associated with the valence electrons and how valence electrons effect reactivity. further this, talk about how the three elements have the same number of valence electrons and therefore were grouped together

1. How many moles of CO2 can be produced from a reaction of 10.0 moles CzHg?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

20 moles of CO2 can be produced from a reaction of 10.0 moles C2H6

Explanation:

In this reaction -

2 moles of C₂H6 produces four molecules of Carbon dioxide (CO2)

So 1 mole of C₂H6 will produce \frac{4}{2} = 2 moles of Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Thus, 10 moles of C₂H6 will produce 2 * 10 = 20 moles of Carbon dioxide (CO2)
