The valence electron of an atom has the highest energy level and is found on the outermost energy level. It is also the group number

It's how many are in the element's outer layer. The layers go: 2, 8, then 8.

Ex-6 electrons. 1 layer is 2, the next layer has 4 left. If that layer holds 8, you can do 8-4 and it has 4 valence electrons.

Ex-10 electrons. 1 layer is 2, the next layer has 0 left. It has 8 valence electrons because the outermost layer is full with 8.

ex-11 electrons. 1 layer is 2, the next layer is full as well. 2+8=10; it has 1 left. So that element has only one valence electron.

A condor has a wing span of 3.05 m. What is the wing span in feet
romanna [79]

Answer:

The condor has a wing span of 10 feet

Explanation:

This can be solved by a simple rule of three

In a rule of three problem, the first step is identifying the measures and how they are related, if their relationship is direct of inverse.

When the relationship between the measures is direct, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure is going to increase too. In this case, the rule of three is a cross multiplication.

When the relationship between the measures is inverse, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure will decrease. In this case, the rule of three is a line multiplication.

In this problem, our measures are the wing span of the condon in meters and the wing span of the condor is feet. As the value of one of these measures increases, the other is going to increase too.

We know that 1m has 3.281 feet,

So we have the following rule of three:

1m - 3.281 feet

3.05m - x feet

x = 3.821*3.05

x = 10 feet

The condor has a wing span of 10 feet

If there are 40 mol of NBr3 and 48 mol of NaOH, what is the excess reactant?
lina2011 [118]
First, write the chemical reaction a<span>nd balance it:

 NBr3 +  NaOH ---> N2 +  NaBr +  HOBr</span>

 <span>2 NBr3 + 3 NaOH ---> N2 + 3 NaBr + 3 HOBr</span>

Then the theoretical proportion is 2 NBr3 : 3 NaOH

The reactants are in the proportion 40 NBr : 48 NaOH

From the theoretical proportion you can make [2 NBr3 / 3 NaOH] * 48 NaOH = 32 NaOH.

Given that you have more than 32 moles of NaOH, this is the excess reactant.
