Fluorine (F) has seven electrons in its outermost shell. Fluorine _____.

2 answers:

6 0

2. F is non-metal, because it has seven electrons (more that 3)
3.It fills its shell by gaining one electron, because it is easier to gain 1 e⁻ than to loose 7 e⁻.
4. It becomes a negatively charged ion, because atom of F is neutral, it has "0" charge, and it takes one negatively charged electron(-1). (0 +(-1)= -1)

Answer:

is a nonmetal

fills its shell by gaining one electron

becomes a negatively charged ion

Explanation:

Fluorine is in group 7 of the periodic table and in period 2. Elements found in group 7 are mostly non metals. This non metals mostly gain electron during bonding with other atom of elements.

Fluorine fills it outer shell by gaining a single electron. The valency electron of Fluorine is 7 . It can easily attract 1 electron to it self to attain the octet rule. This is why most non metal in group 7 are very reactive .

Fluorine easily become an anion as they gain single electron. The charge become negatively charged. It gains single charge and possess a charge of -1.

The electronic configuration is 2 7. The atomic number of Florine is 9.

Since water molecules are polar. Unequal sharing of electrons between the elements that make it. The hydrogen atoms would experience a slight partial positive charge as the electron density is more close to the oxygen atom making it partially negative.

On the axes provided, label pressure on the horizontal axis from O mb to 760 mb and volume on the vertical axis from O to 1 mL.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Please, find the graph with the labels and points located on the axes in the picture attached.

Explanation:

This is how you meet all the instructions and some important comments to understand how this kind of graphs word:

1) Label pressure on the horizontal axis from O mb to 760 mb and volume on the vertical axis from O to 1 mL.

The horizontal axis is used to record the independent variable and the vertical axis is used to record the dependent variable. The axes most be properly labeled with the name of the variable and the units.

In this case the origin is the point (0,0) which means that the axes cross each other, perpendicularly, at a pressure of 0 mb and a volume of 0.0 mililiters.

2) Assign values to axes divisions in such a way that you occupy almost all the space on both axes.

A good graph searches to occupy the whole space on both cases; to do that, find the maximum value for each variable, pressure and volume, and choose the values of the marks.

The range of the pressure (horizontal axis) is [90, 760 mb], so you should choose big divisions (marks) of 100 mb, and assign 800 mb to the right most mark on the horizontal axis. Then, you can divide each interval of 100 mb into 10 spaces, with small divisions of 10 mb (my graph uses 4 spcaes, with small divisions of 25 mb, but I recommend you use small divisions of 10 mb).

The range of the volume (vertical axis) is [0.1, 0.8], so you should choose only divisions with value of 0.1 ml.

3) Now locate and label the points:

(90, 0.9) ⇒ 90 mb, 0.9 ml

(100, 0.8) ⇒ 100 mb, 0.8 ml

(400, 0.2) ⇒ 400 mb, 0.2 ml

(600, 0.15) ⇒ 600 mb, 0.15 ml

(760, 0.1) ⇒ 760 mb, 0.1 ml

The points of the kind (x, y) are called ordered pairs, which means that the order matters, because it has a meaning: the first number represents the independent variable and the second number represents the dependent variable.

So, in the point (90, 0.9), 90 is a pressure of 90 mb and 0.9 is a volume of 0.9 ml.

To locate (600, 0.15), since the horizontal marks have value of 0.1, you must locate the second coordinate of your point between the marks 0.1 and 0.2 ml.

With that you can now locate each point on your graph.

Hydrocyanic acid, HCN, is a weak acid. (a) Write the chemical equation for the dissociation of HCN in water. (b) Identify the Br

12345 [234]

Answer: a) $HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)$

b) $HCN$ : acid $CN^-$ :conjugate base.

And, $H_2O$ : base $H_3O^+$ : conjugate acid.

c) $HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightleftharoons NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

d) $NaCN(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq)$

e) $NaCN(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HCN(aq)$

Explanation:

a) Weak acid is defined as the acid which does not completely dissociates when dissolved in water. They have high pH. These releases $H^+$ ions in their aqueous states.

The equation for the dissociation of $HCN$ acid is given by:

$HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)$

b) According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

For the given chemical equation:

$HCN$ is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms $CN^-$ which is a conjugate base.

And, $H_2O$ is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms $H_3O^+$ which is a conjugate acid.

c) Neutralization reaction is a reaction in which an acid reacts with base to produce salt and water.

$HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightarrow NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

d) The chemical equation for dissociation of $NaCN$ in water.

$NaCN(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq)$

e) The chemical equation for the reaction of $NaCN$ and $HCI$

$NaCN(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HCN(aq)$

Decribe how hydrogen and oxygen form water

rewona [7]

Well, its a very simple process actually. Here is how it works;

When molecular hydrogen, also known as H2, and oxygen, also known as O2, are combined and are able to react together, energy is released and the molecules of the hydrogen and the oxygen. These can combine to form either water or hydrogen peroxide, depending on how the chemicals mix.

I hope I made your day a little easier,

Have a great day and happy Halloween!
