Chemistry

Answer:

<em></em>

<em></em>

  • <em>The halogens posses </em><u><em>seven </em></u><em>valence electrons</em>

Explanation:

  • <em>Valence electrons </em>are the electrons in the outermost orbitals of the atoms, which are the orbitals with the highest main energy level (principal quantum number).

  • Halogens are the elements of the group 17 of the periodic table: F, Cl, Br, I, At.

  • You can tell the number of valence electrons of the representative elements from the number of the group to which they belong. For the representative elements, the number of valence electrons equal the unit digit of the group number.

        This table summarizes it:

Group number        number of valence electrons

     1                                      1

     2                                     2

    13                                     3

    14                                     4

    15                                     5

    16                                     6

    17                                      7

    18                                      8

  • So, in conclusion, <em>the halogens possess 7 valence electrons.</em>

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO BEST AND MOST THOROUGH ANSWER!
andrew11 [14]
<span>At 100 feet, the diver is under about 4 atmospheres pressure. If she is free diving, her lungs will be compressed to about 1/4 their size on the surface (with some movement of the major abdominal organs). If she is scuba diving, the air which she is breathing is also at 4 atmospheres and there is no problem. (The non-gas spaces in the body are not-compressible and are unaffected.) The only problems she has to concern herself with are the beginnings to nitrogen narcosis and the nitrogen which is dissolving (Henry's law) into her body tissues. On the way up, she also has to remember that the air in her lungs will expand by a factor of 4 and she better exhale! Hope this helps you</span>

The melting point of table salt is 801 degrees celsius. is this a physical or chemical property?
Valentin [98]
It is a Physical property because like water it changes into a ice cube but it can be melted into water or be turned back into an ice cube.

What is the correct formula for combining Mg2+ and Br1+
True [87]

Answer: The correct formula is MgBr_2

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

Here magnesium is having an oxidation state of +2 called as Mg^{2+} cation and bromine Br^{-} is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral MgBr_2.

The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.
