How many valence electrons does an iodine atom have

Chemistry

frosja888 [35]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  • <em>An iodine atom has</em><u><em> 7 valence electrons.</em></u>

Explanation:

Iodine is a halogen so it is the group (column number) 17 of the periodic table. It is a representative element.

The number of valence electrons for the representative elements is equal to the second digit of the group number. So, group 17 means that iodince has 7 valence electrons.

Now, more formally, the valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of the atom and you can determine how many of them an atom has by doing the electron configuration.

These are the steps:

  • Atomic number, of iodine, Z = 53

  • Number of electrons of the neutral atom = number of protons = 53

  • Distribute the electrons in ascending order of orbital energies, following Aufbau's rules:

  • 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁵

  • If you count the electrons you must obtain 53: 2 + 2 +6 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 10 + 6 + 2 + 10 + 5 = 53.

  • The <em>valence electrons </em>are those in the highest principal energy level: 5s² 5p⁵, i.e 2 + 5 = 7.

For the following reaction, find the value of Q and predict the direction of change, given that a 1L flask initially contains 2
Tresset [83]

Answer:

C) Q < K, reaction will make more products

Explanation:

  • 1/8 S8(s)  + 3 F2(g)  ↔  SF6(g)

∴ Kc = 0.425 = [ SF6 ] / [ F2 ]³

∴ Q = [ SF6 ] / [ F2 ]³

∴ [ SF6 ] = 2 mol/L

∴ [ F2 ] = 2 mol/L

⇒ Q = ( 2 ) / ( 2³)

⇒ Q = 0.25

⇒ Q < K, reaction will make more products

Hydrazine, N2H4, may react with oxygen to form nitrogen gas and water.
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The percent yield of the reaction is 35 %

Explanation:

In the reaction, 1 mol of hydrazine reacts with 1 mol O₂ to produce 1 mol of nitrogen and 2 moles of water.

Let's verify the moles that were used in the reaction.

2.05 g . 1mol/ 32 g = 0.0640 mol

In the 100% yield, 1 mol of hydrazine produce 1 mol of N₂ so If I used 0.0640 moles of reactant, I made 0.0640 moles of products.

Let's use the Ideal Gases Law equation to find out the real moles of nitrogen, I made (real yield).

1atm . 0.550L = n . 0.082 . 295K

(1atm . 0.550L) / 0.082 . 295K = n → 0.0225 moles

Percent yield of reaction = (Real yield / Theoretical yield) . 100

(0.0225 / 0.0640) . 100 = 35%

What pressure is required to achieve a co2 concentration of 7.90×10−2 m at 20∘c?
Savatey [412]

Answer:-  1.90 atm

Solution:- It is based on combined gas law equation, PV = nRT

In this equation, P is pressure, V is volume, n is moles of gas, R is universal gas constant and T is kelvin temperature.

If we divide both sides by V then:

P=\frac{nRT}{V}

We know that, molarity is moles per liter. So, in the above equation we could replace \frac{n}{V} by molarity, M of the gas. The equation becomes:

P = MRT

T = 20 + 273 = 293 K

M = 7.9*10^-^2

Let's plug in the values in the equation:

P = (7.9*10^-^2)(0.0821)(293)

P = 1.90 atm

So, the pressure of the gas is 1.90 atm.
