Answer:

Argon has 8 valence electrons making it non reactive.

Explanation:

Reactive chemicals are store in containers filled with Argon gas because the argon gas is non reactive. This is true because the argon gas has completely filled octet structure.

This can further be explained by writing the electronic configuration of argon.

The electronic configuration of argon is given below:

Ar (18) => 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶

Valence electron => 3s²3p⁶ = 2 + 6 = 8

From the above illustration, we can see that the outermost shell (i.e 3s²3p⁶) is having 8 electrons indicating that it is completely filled as the maximum number of electrons any shell can accommodate outside the first shell is 8 electrons. Thus, argon has 8 valence electrons ( i.e electrons in the outermost shell) and hence it is non reactive as the outermost shell is completely filled.

A change in which property of light will have no effect on whether or not the photoelectric effect occurs??? Frequently energy i
slavikrds [6]
Intensity has no affect on whether or not the photoelectric effect occurs.  The determining property is frequency and since frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional, wavelength matters as well.  If a frequency of light can't cause the photoelectric effect to happen, no matter what the intensity is, the light can't make it happen.

I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

I have a question about ionization energy.
ValentinkaMS [17]
Ionization energy is the measure of the extend to which the nucleus attracts the outermost electron
if ionization energy us high than force of attraction Is high so it is not easy to remove and vice versa .

If 20.0 grams of Al is placed into a solution containg
meriva

Answer:

m H2(g) = 2.241 g H2(g)

Explanation:

  • 2Al(s) + 3H2SO4(aq) → Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 3 H2(g)

limit reagent:

∴ Mw Al = 26.982 g/mol

∴ Mw H2SO4 = 98.0785 g/mol

⇒ n Al = (20 g Al)×(mol/26.982 g) = 0.7412 mol Al

⇒ n H2SO4 = ( 115 g H2SO4 )×(mol/98.0785 g) = 1.173 mol H2SO4

⇒ n H2 = (0.7412 mol Al)×(3 mol H2/ 2 mol Al) = 1.112 mol H2

∴ Mw H2 = 2.016 g/mol

⇒ g H2 = (1.112 mol H2)×(2.016 g/mol) = 2.241 g H2
