Answer is: d) 7.
Electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁵.
Valence electrons are in 2s and 2p orbitals.
Valence electrons are outer shell electrons (transition metal can have a valence electrons in an inner shell) that is associated with an atom and they can form chemical bond. Valence eletrons determine chemical proporties of element.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

The Lewis dot diagram is supposed to have dots on each side. What's incorrect is that there isn't a dot on the bottom, only the left and right side and the top. What's correct about this is that there are 5 outer valence electrons, and they correctly put 5 dots, even though they're in the wrong place.

If 15 grams of Carbon dioxide is produced in a chemical reaction, how many grams of Carbon must be consumed in the reaction if w

Nata [24]

4.1g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of carbon dioxide = 15g

Mass of oxygen gas = 11g

Unknown:

Mass of carbon consumed = ?

Solution:

Equation of the reaction:

C + O₂ → CO₂

To solve this problem from the balanced equation, we have to use the amount of product formed and work to Carbon. This is because, we are sure of the amount of carbon dioxide formed but the amount of the given oxygen gas used is not precise.

Number of moles of CO₂ = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$
