Atom:Proton number same as number of electron.

Ion:Electronic configuration becomes "2.8.8" because the atom configuration is "2.8.5" the last shell have 5 electrons is more than "3" so you need to add electrons TILL the maximium that shell can hold to make it stable.If for example if the configuration is "2.8.3" you take the 3 electrons out from the last shell in order to make it stable.

Take out:1,2,3 electrons

Add:4 electron and above depends on what shell,but of course don't add MORR when is at the max the shell can hold.

The molar madd of Ca(OH)2
Nonamiya [84]
What you have to do is find a periodic table and add the mass of each atom that the compound is made of.

Ca= 40.1
O= 16.0
H= 1.01

keep in mind that you have to also account for how many atoms of each there are in the molecule. for example, in Ca(OH)2, there are one Ca, two O and two H

so the molar mass of Ca(OH)2= 40.1 + (2 x 16.0) + (2 x 1.01)= 74.12 g/mol

Luis is helping his parents paint a border around the walls of a room. He uses a stencil to repeat the same design on each wall
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Polymerization.

Explanation:

Polymerization can be defined as a type of chemical reaction in which molecules that are relatively small in size chemically combine to form a huge chain of molecules.

Simply stated, polymerization refers to a chemical reaction where two or more smaller molecules react to produce larger molecules of the same network or repetitive structural units.

In polymerization, the relatively small molecules are generally referred to as monomers while the larger molecules they produce are known as polymers.

Polymerization is given by the chemical formula;

nA -----> A(n).

In this scenario, Luis uses a stencil to repeat the same design on each wall to form one long grapevine with a bunch of grapes every foot along its length.

Hence, the type of chemical reaction this best model is polymerization because it involved repeating the same design (monomers) to form a long grapevine with a bunch of grapes (polymers).

What are two properties of most nonmetals?(1) high ionization energy and poor electrical conductivity(2) high ionization energy
elixir [45]
The two properties of most non metals are high ionization energy and poor electrical conductivity. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is option "1". In general it is known that nonmetals are very poor conductors of heat and electricity. The nonmetals that are solid are normally very brittle and has very little or no metallic luster at all. Nonmetals are highly reactive and show variety of chemical properties. It can also be pointed out that the nonmetals gain electrons very easily.

In the following reaction, what is the effect on the direction of the reaction if more SO3 is added to the reaction mixture?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The equilibrium shifts to produce more reactants.

Explanation:

According to the Le- Chatelier principle,

At equilibrium state when stress is applied to the system, the system will behave in such a way to nullify the stress.

The equilibrium can be disturb,

By changing the concentration

By changing the volume

By changing the pressure

By changing the temperature

Consider the following chemical reaction.

Chemical reaction:

2SO₂ +  O₂  ⇄  2SO₃

In this reaction the equilibrium is disturb by increasing the concentration of Product.

When the concentration of product is increased the system will proceed in backward direction in order to regain the equilibrium. Because when product concentration is high it means reaction is not on equilibrium state. As the concentration of SO₃  increased the reaction proceed in backward direction to regain the equilibrium state and more reactant is formed.
