The number of electrons in the outermost principal energy level of a chlorine atom is

Chemistry
1 answer:
Hitman42 [59]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

seven electrons

Explanation:

Chlorine is present in group seventeen of periodic table. It is halogen element. All halogens have seven electrons in outer most valance shell.

The require only one electron to gain the stable electronic configuration or to complete the octet.

Electronic configuration of chlorine:

Cl₁₇ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵

Abbreviated electronic configuration:

Cl₁₇ = [Ne] 3s² 3p⁵

Properties of chlorine:

1. it is greenish-yellow irritating gas.

2. its melting point is 172.2 K

3. its boiling point is 238.6 K

4. it is disinfectant and can kill the bacteria.

5. it is also used in manufacturing of paper, paints and textile industries.

NaOH(aq) is transferred into a test tube. CaCl2(aq) is added to the tube. What is the formula for the precipitate (if any) that
Ilya [14]

Answer:

2NaOH (aq) + CaCl2 (aq) -> 2NaCl(aq) + Ca(OH)2(s)

Formula of precipitate: Ca(OH)2 <em>(s)</em>

Explanation:

First, we do the double replacement reaction to determine our chemical equation between the reactants and products. Once we have our products, with a solubility chart (I added one below) we can determine which of the products is soluble or insoluble.

In this case NaCl is soluble or aqueous (meaning it can dissolve in water) and Ca(OH)2 is insoluble (meaning that when the reactions takes place, these two will form a solid/precipitate)

which of the following correctly identifies the composition of an oxygen atom? A.8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons. B.6 pro
Ulleksa [173]
<span>You can answer this question by getting the atomic number and atomic mass of Oxygen from a periodic table. There you will find that the atomic number is 8, that means, by definition, that it has 8 protons. This is, because atomic number is defined as the number of protons of an element. Given that the atom is neutral, that implies that the atoms have the same number of electrons than protons. So you already know that the oxygen atoms has 8 protons and 8 electrons. The number of neutrons can vary, which is what defines the isotopes. Given that the atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999, that means that most atoms of oxygen has 8 neutrons (8 protons +8 neutrons = 16 atomic mass). But you can not be sure that a specific atom of oxygen has 8 neutrons, nevertheless, given that the other options are discarded (because they do not have 8 protons and 8 electrons), the only correct answer is the option A. 8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons.</span>

What isotope is the product of the alpha (*2He) nuclear decay of Radon-222 (222U)?
NikAS [45]

Answer:

ⁿₐX => ²¹⁸₈₄Po

Explanation:

Let ⁿₐX be the isotope.

Thus, the equation can be written as follow:

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ⁿₐX

Next, we shall determine the value of 'n' and 'a'. This can be obtained as follow:

222 = 4 + n

Collect like terms

222 – 4 = n

218 = n

Thus,

n = 218

86 = 2 + a

Collect like terms

86 – 2 = a

84 = a

Thus,

a = 84

ⁿₐX => ²¹⁸₈₄Po

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ⁿₐX

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ²¹⁸₈₄Po

Calculate the mass percent of Cl in Freon -112 (C2 Cl4 F2), a CFC refrigerant
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  69.6 %

Explanation:

Freon -112 (C₂Cl₄F₂)

MW = (12 x 2) + (35.5 x 4) + (19 x 2)

      = 24 + 142 + 38

      = 204 g

                       204 g of C₂Cl₄F₂  -----------------  100%

                       142 g                     -----------------   x

                      x = (142 x 100 ) / 204

                      x = 69.6 %
