How many places are there for electrons in the third shell of an atom?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dafna1 [17]3 years ago

Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons: The first shell can hold up to two electrons, the second shell can hold up to eight (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell can hold up to18 (2 + 6 + 10) and so on. The general formula is that the nth shell can in principle hold up to 2(n2) electrons.

Element X has the following valence electron configuration: [core]ns2np5. Element M has the following valence electron configura
alex41 [277]

Answer:

The kind of ionic compound formed is MX2.

Explanation:

Element X electron  configuration is represented as [core] ns2np5. The group in the periodic table this element belong to is group 7A.  The element group is called the halogen family. Element X cannot be stated specifically, because the number is represented with n.  Element X will behave as an anions when it react with a metal(cations). Element X has a charge of -1. The element X will gain electron when it bond with a metal. Element X is a non metal . Elements  in this group are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine , astatine, and tennessine . The element X have 7 valency electrons.

Element M electronic configuration is represented as  [core]ns2. The group in the periodic table this element belong to is group 2A . The element  group is called the alkaline earth metals family . Element M will behave as a cation when it bond with a non metal. Element M is a metal , therefore it will likely lose electron to form cations during bonding . The charge of element M is 2+. Element M is positively charged. Elements that belong to this group includes beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium.  Element M has 2 valency electrons.

The reaction between this 2 ions will likely form an ionic compound . The element M is the cations while the element X is the anions. The element M will lose 2 electron while 2 atoms of element  X will gain 2 electrons.Element M will lose 2 electron to attain a stable configuration while 2 atoms of element X will gain a single electron each to attain a stable configuration.

M²+ and F- . This will form MX2 when you cross multiply the charge. The kind of ionic compound formed is MX2.

5. Why are lonic compounds good conductors of electricity?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The options are unclear, however, the correct option is:

Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds cause to dissociate, hence, ions are free to conduct electricity

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compounds formed from ions (charged atoms). For example, NaCl is an ionic compound from the following ions; Na+ (cation) and Cl- (anion). One characteristics of ionic compounds is their ability to dissociate into the ions that form them when in an aqueous solution i.e. NaCl will dissociate into Na+ and Cl- when in an aqueous solution.

These disssociated ions are free to conduct electricity, hence, making ionic compounds good conductors of electricity.

How many moles of aluminum are needed to react completely with 1.2 mol of feo
Amanda [17]

Answer:

0.8 mol.

Explanation:

  • The balanced equation for the reaction between Al and FeO is represented as:

<em>2Al + 3FeO → 3Fe + Al₂O₃,</em>

It is clear that 2 mol of Al react with 3 mol of FeO to produce 3 mol of Fe and 1 mol of Al₂O₃.

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

2 mol of Al needs → 3 mol of FeO, from stichiometry.

??? mol of Al needs → 1.2 mol of FeO.

∴<em> The no. of moles of Al are needed to react completely with 1.2 mol of FeO </em>= (2 mol)(1.2 mol)/(3 mol) = <em>0.8 mol.</em>
