Chemistry
1 answer:
Nat2105 [25]2 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.

Answer: True.

Explanation: A teakettle does have a greater frequency than a drumbeat.  The teakettle has a higher pitched sound and frequency than a low pitched sound like a drumbeat. So a teakettle is high and a drumbeat is low.

How many grams are in 6.59 x 10^24 atoms of Carbon
bonufazy [111]
First, you need to find how much moles does 6.59*10^24 atoms of Carbon represents.
The Avogadro number represents one mole of a substance. The Avogadro number is about Na=6.02*10^23.
So, to find the mole number, you divide the number of atoms you have by the Avogadro number: n=N/Na (n=number of mole, N=number of atoms, Na=Avogadro Number).
So n=6.59*10^24/6.02*10^23 = 10.94 moles.

So to find the mass in grams of a certain number of moles, you multiply the mole number by the Molar mass of the substance you're studying.
m=n*M (m=mass in grams, n=number of moles, M=Molar mass)
The molar mass of the carbon is 12.01 g/mol.
So m=10.94 * 12.01 = 131.38 grams.

So There's 131.38 grams in 6.59*10^24 atoms of Carbon.

Hope this Helps! :)
