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.

Question 8 of 10
makkiz [27]

Answer:

6 elements which are  carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur and phosphorus

Explanation:

Living organisms are made up of various unit of giant organic molecules that have been produced through life processes.

The bulk of elements that makes up living organisms are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur and phosphorus.

Carbon is almost present everywhere in living organisms. It's unique ability to form a key component lies on its bond formation capabilities. Carbon is found in nearly all organic molecules like carbohydrates, proteins, fats and oils, e.t.c

Hydrogen like carbon is key to life. It is light and making it form different bond types with carbon. It is one of the atoms that makes up water.

Nitrogen is usually found in proteins. They are unique elements that life cannot do without.

Oxygen is useful in respiration processes and it is the bedrock through which energy is released from glucose.

Sulfur is key to life.

Phosphorus in Adenosine Diphosphate is a good store of energy.

How does a concave lens differ from a convex lens? A) A convex lens is another way to describe a plane mirror; a concave lens is
elixir [45]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C) A convex lens has a thick center and thin edges; a concave lens has a thin center and thicker edges.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Convex lens refers to the lens which merges the light rays at a particular point, that travels through it, while a concave lens can be identified as the lens which disperses the light rays around, that hits the lenses.
  • A convex lens is thicker at the center, as compared to its edges, while a concave lens is thinner at the center as compared to its edges.
  • A concave lens is thicker at the edges than in the middle and spreads light rays apart producing an image smaller than the actual object. A convex lens on the other hand, is thinner at the edges and thicker towards the center, that is they are bent towards a central point.

erica [24]

The reaction will  shift toward the reactants if the volume is cut in half.

<h3 /><h3>Reactants </h3>

The initial components of a chemical reaction are called reactants. Chemical bonds between reactants are broken and new ones are created in order to create products. Reactants and products are listed on the left and right sides, respectively, of the arrow in a chemical equation.

Substances on both sides of an arrow that points left and right are both reactants and products in a chemical process (the reaction proceeds in both directions simultaneously). A chemical equation that is balanced has the same amount of atoms of each element in the reactants and products. Around 1900–1920 is when the word "reactant" was first used. There are instances when the word "reagent" is interchangeable.
