How many valence electrons are there in sulfur, and iodine.

1 answer:

7 0

Today I will explain what a valence electron is and how many valence electrons each of the atoms your asking about have. :)

→ A valence electron is an electron in the outer shell of an atom that is able to participate in bonding. While iodine has 53 electrons, all but seven are in the inner shells of the iodine atom.

→ Sulfur has sixteen electrons in total, two in the inner shell, eight in the middle, and six in the outer. This means that sulfur has six valence electrons.

radioisotope actinium 225 has half life of 10 days, I begin with 16 kg of this isotope, how much will remain after 40 days?

Igoryamba

$N(t)=N_{0}(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{t}{\tau_{_\frac{1}{2}}}}\\\\
N_{0}=16kg\\
t=40days\\
\tau_{_\frac{1}{2}}}=10days\\\\\\
N(t)=16kg*(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{40}{10}}=16kg*\frac{1}{16}=1kg$

Formula New Combination Predicted Formula

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Formula New Combination Predicted Formula


NaCl potassium + chlorine KCl

AlCl₃ aluminum + fluorine AlF₃

CO₂ tin + oxygen SnO₂

MgCl₂ calcium + bromine CaBr₂

HCl cesium + iodine CsI

 CCl₄ silicon + bromine SiBr₄

Explanation:

1) The question is incomplete. The first part is missing.

This is the first part of the question.

Applying the principle that the elements of a particular column in the Periodic Table share the same chemical properties, complete the following chart. The first one has been done for you.


2) This is the given chart:

Formula New Combination Predicted Formula


Cu₂O silver + oxygen Ag₂O ← this is the example.

NaCl potassium + chlorine

 AlCl₃ aluminum + fluorine 

CO₂ tin + oxygen

 MgCl₂ calcium + bromine 

 HCl cesium + iodine 

 CCl₄ silicon + bromine 

3) This is how you find the new formula to complete the chart.

i) NaCl potassium + chlorine

Since potassium is in the same group of sodium, you predict that in the new formula Na is replaced by K giving KCl.

ii) AlCl₃ aluminum + fluorine

Since fluorine is in the same group that Al, then you predict that in the new formula Cl is replaced by F leading to AlF₃

iii) CO₂ tin + oxygen

Since tin is in the same group that C, you predict that in the new formula C is replaced by Sn leading to SnO₂

iv) MgCl₂ calcium + bromine

Since calcium is in the same group that Mg, and bromine is in the same group that Cl, you predict thea in the new formula calcium replaces Mg and bromine replaces Cl, leading to CaBr₂

v) HCl cesium + iodine

Since H is in the same column that cesium and Cl is in the same colum that iodine, you predict that in the new formula Cs replaces H and I replaces Cl leading to: CsI

 vi) CCl₄ silicon + bromine


Since silicon is in the same column that C and bromine is in the same column that Cl, you predict that in the new formula Si replaces C and Br replaces Cl, leading to SiBr₄
