Answer: If the outermost shell has 1–4 electrons, it is a metal.

If the outermost shell has 5–7 electrons, it is a non-metal.

Metal elements have 1,2,3 or 4 electrons in the outer most shell while non metals have 5,6 or 7 electrons.
Example - Carbon
atomic number - 6
electron configuration - 2,4
Meaning it has 4 electrons in its outer most shell which makes it a METAL.

How many moles of c6h14 contain 9.25 × 1024 molecules of c6h14?
lyudmila [28]
According to Avagadros law 1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 × 10^23 particles.
Thus, 1 mole of C6H14 contains 6.02 × 10^ 23 molecules,
Therefore, 9.25 × 10^24 molecules will have; 
      (9.25 × 10^24)/ (6.02 ×10^23) 
   =  15.365 moles.

How many molecules of H2O are there in 1.0 g of H2O?
NISA [10]
Molar mass H₂O = 18.0 g/mol

number of moles :

1.0 / 18.0 => 0.055 moles

1 mole -------------- 6.02 x 10²³ molecules
0.055 moles --------  ? molecules

molecules = 0.055 x ( 6.02 x 10²³) / 1

molecules = 3.311x10²² / 1

= 3.311 x 10²² molecules

hope this helps!

Wood is mainly cellulose, a polymer produced by plants. One use of wood is as a fuel in campfires, fireplaces, and wood furnaces
Alja [10]

Answer:

C6 H10 O5+ 6O2-----> 6CO2+5H2O+heat

Explanation:

There are 6 carbon atoms in reactants to balance you put coefficient 6.

This makes the oxygen in CO2 12 so to balance put 6 in oxygen in reactants.

There are 10 hydrogen atoms in reactants to balance you put 5 in front of H2O in products.

If u recheck: 6 C atoms in reactants, 6 C atoms in products.

10 H atoms in reactants, 10 H atoms in products.

17 O atoms in reactants, 17 O atoms in products.
