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.

Explain how the hydrogen ion concentration gradient is generated
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Once three protons have entered the matrix space, there is enough energy in the ATP synthase complex to synthesize one ATP. In this way, the energy in the hydrogen ion gradient is used to make ATP. ... The mitochondrial hydrogen ion gradient is generated as electrons pass through three membrane complexes.

Consider the atom with the chemical symbol Ru.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer: 97

Explanation:

The element Ru is <u>Ruthenium</u> which has <u>44 protons</u>.

In this case, our atom is an isotope with <u>53 neutrons</u>.

With this information, we can use the mass number formula to find this atom's mass number.

mass number = protons + neutrons

mass number = <u>44 protons</u> + <u>53 neutrons</u>

mass number = <u>97</u>

What would be the voltage (Ecell) of a voltaic cell comprised of Cd(s)/Cd2+(aq) and Zr(s)/Zr4+(aq) if the concentrations of the
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

1.05 V

Explanation:

Since;

E°cell= E°cathode- E°anode

E°cathode= -0.40 V

E°anode= -1.45 V

E°cell= -0.40-(-1.45) = 1.05 V

Equation of the process;

2Zr(s) + 4Cd^2+(aq) ---->2Zr^4+(aq) + 4Cd(s)

n= 8 electrons transferred

From Nernst's equation;

Ecell = E°cell - 0.0592/n log Q

Ecell= E°cell - 0.0592/8 log [0.5]/[0.5]

Since log 1=0

Ecell= E°cell= 1.05 V
