Which atoms will bond when valence electrons

Since Oxygen is in group 16, this element has 6 valence electrons. Valence electrons like to become as stable as possible and similar to a noble gas, which has 8 electrons. You need to find an element that will transfer its atoms to the oxygen to make 8 electrons. Looking at the periodic table, Selenium is in group 16 and will have 6 valence electrons (6 + 6 = 12). This can't transfer electrons with Oxygen. Hydrogen is in group 1 with 1 valence electron (6 + 1 = 7). This can't transfer electrons with Oxygen. Strontium is in group 2 with 2 valence electrons (6 + 2 = 8). This will transfer electrons to Oxygen, making it the most stable.

The answer is O and Sr.

Because the problem says valence electrons are transferred from one atom to the other, it has to be an "ionic" bond (it's not the "covalent" bond because electrons aren't shared with each other). As a matter of fact, an "ionic" bond is formed when a metal combines with a non-metal or a metalloid. Strontium (Sr) is an alkaline earth metal, which is also a metal, and Oxygen (O) is a non-metal. These two atoms will perfectly form (an) "ionic" bond(s). Therefore, option (2) O and Sr is correct.
Hope this would help :))

Mama L [17]

Answer:

The density of the liquid in beaker B is less than the that of ice.

Explanation:

Ice will float if its mass is less than the mass of the liquid it displaces.

For example, the density of ice is less than that of water.

A 10 cm³ cube of ice has a mass of about 9 g, while the mass of 10 cm³ of water is 10 g. Thus, 9 g of ice displaces 10 g of water.

The denser water displaces the lighter ice and the ice floats to the top.

If the density of the liquid is <em>less than</em> that of water, say, 8 g/cm³, the ice will displace only 8 g of the liquid. The ice will sink.

The oxygen atom is smaller than the sulfur atom because _____(1) the outer electrons of oxygen are more effectively screened fro
Romashka [77]

Answer: Option (2) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of oxygen atom is 8 and its electronic distribution is 2, 6. So, it contains only 2 orbitals which are closer to the nucleus of the atom.

As a result, the valence electrons are pulled closer by the nucleus of oxygen atom due to which there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atom.

Whereas atomic number of sulfur is 16 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 6. As there are more number of orbitals present in a sulfur atom so, the valence electrons are away from the nucleus of the atom.

Hence, there is less force of attraction between nucleus of sulfur atom and its valence electrons due to which size of sulfur atom is larger than the size of oxygen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that the oxygen atom is smaller than the sulfur atom because the outer orbitals of oxygen are located closer to the nucleus than those of sulfur.

A 100.0 lb skier moves at 40.00miles/hour. Calc her kinetic energy.
Pepsi [2]

answer: its 7290 joules.

explanations: the first procedure is to convert 1 pound to kilogram. 1 kg = 2.205 hence given 100 lb so we cross multiply. 1 kg * 100 = 2.205 * x

hence x= 45 kg. let's convert 1 mile per hour = 0.45 metre per second we cross multiply by 40 mile per hour. x= 40 * 0.45= 18 m/s.

KE= 1/2 * 45 * (18)^2

= 1/2 * 45 * 14580

= 7290joules

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The answer to your question is   P2 = 2676.6 kPa

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 12.8 L                        Volume 2 = V2 = 855 ml

Temperature 1 = T1 = -108°C               Temperature 2 = 22°C

Pressure 1 = P1 = 100 kPa                    Pressure 2 = P2 =  ?

Process

- To solve this problem use the Combined gas law.

                     P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

-Solve for P2

                     P2 = P1V1T2 / T1V2

- Convert temperature to °K

T1 = -108 + 273 = 165°K

T2 = 22 + 273 = 295°K

- Convert volume 2 to liters

                       1000 ml -------------------- 1 l

                         855 ml --------------------  x

                         x = (855 x 1) / 1000

                         x = 0.855 l

-Substitution

                    P2 = (12.8 x 100 x 295) / (165 x 0.855)

-Simplification

                    P2 = 377600 / 141.075

-Result

                   P2 = 2676.6 kPa
