Can you force the atoms into new configurations by pushing atoms around

Chemistry
1 answer:
marta [7]3 years ago
5 0
<span>No, this is not possible. The reason for this impossibility is that the electrons are not attracted to one another, and thus, would repel. If you were to push the atoms into each other, the electrons would then prevent this from happening. Essentially atoms will bounce off of one another due to the repel of charges.</span>

calcium has atomic number of 20 how many electrons of a calcium atom are involved in chemical bonding
Lelu [443]

The answer is 2 electrons.


The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2

Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements.  Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.

Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known  as an ionic compound.

For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas,   calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.

Automobile catalytic Converters use a platinum callus to reduce air pollution by changing emissions such as carbon monoxide CO2
natka813 [3]

Answer:

14 mol O₂

Explanation:

The reaction between CO and O₂ is the following:

CO + O₂ → CO₂

We balance the equation with a coefficient 2 in CO and CO₂ to obtain the same number of O atoms:

2CO + O₂ → 2CO₂

As we can see from the balanced equation, 1 mol of O₂ is required to react with 2 moles of CO. Thus, the conversion factor is 1 mol of O₂/2 mol CO. We multiply the moles of CO by the conversion factor to calculate the moles of O₂ that are required:

28 mol CO x 1 mol of O₂/2 mol CO = 14 mol O₂

¿Por qué los gases nobles tienen tendencia a no formar compuesto si como todo elemento de la tabla periódica estos tienen electr
White raven [17]
Noble gases are the least reactive of all elements. That's because they have eight valence electrons, which fill their outer energy level. This is the most stable arrangement of electrons, so noble gases rarely react with other elements and form compounds.
