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.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

In Silver, the 4d orbitals will be completely filled. That implies that it does not have two electrons in the 5s orbital. The electronic configuration of Silver is :

Ag (47) = 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6 5s^1 4d^10

Can you please help me with the green question
solmaris [256]
I was flung towards the atmosphere. Slowly but surely, I made my way inside. On my way there, I began to heat up. I began to vibrate rapidly, and I noted it happened as I entered the atmosphere. I think it was because we sped up so much, but I can't say for sure because I'm an air particle... However, I do know that I am now a heated air particle due to friction and movement from entering the atmosphere. I think I'll cool down on my descent, I don't know that I can get much hotter than this.

GasesToxic fumesParticulates are solid or liquid particles that settle after being dispersed in a gas.
lesantik [10]
I think the correct answer is the third option. Particulates are solid or liquid particles that settle after being dispersed in a gas. They are also termed as particle pollution or PM. It is a mixture of very small particles and liquid droplets which includes acids of nitrates and sulfates, organic substance, metals and dust particles.

According to the following reaction, how many grams of chloric acid (HClO3) are produced in the complete reaction of 31.6 grams
gogolik [260]

Answer:

m_{HClO_3}=12.7gHClO_3

Explanation:

Hello,

Considering the reaction:

3Cl_2(g)+3H_2O(l)-->5HCl+HClO_3

The molar masses of chlorine and chloric acid are:

M_{Cl_2}=35.45*2=70.9g/mol\\M_{HClO_3}=1+35.45+16*3=84.45g/mol

Now, we develop the stoichiometric relationship to find the mass of chloric acid, considering the molar ratio 3:1 between chlorine and chloric acid, as follows:

m_{HClO_3}=31.6gCl_2*\frac{1molCl_2}{70.9gCl_2} *\frac{1molHClO_3}{3mol Cl_2} *\frac{85.45g HClO_3}{1mol HClO_3} \\m_{HClO_3}=12.7gHClO_3

Best regards.
