Enter your answer in the provided box. How many unpaired electrons are present in the ground state of the atoms in Group 6A(16)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nat2105 [25]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Two unpaired electrons

Explanation:

The elements of group 16 include; oxygen, sulphur, selenium, tellurium etc. These elements contain six electrons on their outermost shells. These six electrons are comprised of two lone pairs and two unpaired electrons. The outermost electron configuration of group 16 elements is ns2np4.

Let us take a well known example, look at the formation of water. Oxygen contains two lone pairs of electrons and two unpaired electrons which are used to bond to two hydrogen atoms to form H2O. Similar hydrides are formed with other group 16 elements.

Chemistry Question, Don't really know how to do it lol.
Scilla [17]

Answer: 17.2 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}

\text{Moles of} HgS=\frac{20.0 g}{233g/mol}=0.085moles

The balanced chemical equation is:

4HgS(s)+4CaO(s)\rightarrow 4Hg(l)+3CaS(s))+CaSO_4(s)  

According to stoichiometry :  

4 moles of HgS produce =  4 moles of Hg

Thus 0.085 moles of HgS will require=\frac{4}{4}\times 0.085=0.085moles  of Hg

Mass of Hg=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.085moles\times 200.6g/mol=17.2g

Thus 17.2 g of Hg will be produced form 20.0 g of HgS.

How many lead (Pb) atoms will be generated when 5.38 moles of ammonia react according to the following equation: 3PbO+2NH3→3Pb+N
jasenka [17]

Answer:

4.86×10^23 molecule of Pb

Explanation:

Based on that equation, for every 2 moles of ammonia, you get 3 moles of lead.

So:

2 mol NH3/ 3 mol Pb

Using this ratio we can find the amounts of either molecule. Given 5.38 mol NH3:

(5.38 NH3)(3 Pb/ 2 NH3) = (5.38)(3/2) mol Pb = 8.07 mol Pb

Then, we just need to use Avagadro's number to get the number of molecules.

(8.07)(6.02×10^23) = 4.86×10^23 molecule of Pb
