19 pts - How do you determine if something is isoelectronic?

Isoelectronic means equal number of electrons.

The method to determine if elements are sioelectronic is:

1) Determine the atomic number of the element (search the element in the periodic table).

2) The atomic number is equal to the number of protons (always, by definition).

3) If the atom is neutral, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.

3) If the species is not neutral then:

     - if it is a negative ion, add as many electrons as the magnitude of the charge of the ion

    - if iit is a positive ion, subtract as many electrons as the magnitude of the charge of the ion.

4) One by one

species          atomic number              charge          number of electrons
                      number of protons

O₂,                    8                                     0                 8 (each atom)
F-                     9                                      -1               9 + 1 = 10    
Ne                  10                                      0                10
Na                  11                                       0               11

So, in that group only F- and Ne are isoelectronic, each with 10 electrons

Se2-               34                                      -2                34 + 2 = 36
Br-                  35                                      -1                35 + 1 = 36
Kr                   36                                       0                36
Rb+                37                                      +1               37 - 1 = 36

So, in that group all are isoelectronic.
   
I-                     53                                     -1                 53 + 1 = 54
Xe                   54                                     0                  54
Cs                   55                                     0                  55  
Ba2+               56                                    +2                 55 - 2 = 53

So, in that group only I- and Xe are isoelectronic.

Molarity and Dilution
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: The moles needed are 0.01.

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

n = moles of solute (CuSO_4.5H_2O) = ?  

V_s = volume of solution in ml  

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

0.10=\frac{n\times 1000}{100}

n=\frac{0.10\times 100}{1000}=0.01

Therefore, the moles needed are 0.01.

What is the only part of an atom that cannot change (either protons, neutrons, or electrons)?
d1i1m1o1n [39]
The number of protons never changes in an atom. More electrons means a negative charge and fewer means a positive charge. Once an atom has an electrical charge it is called an ion. In an ion the atomic number and atomic mass do not change from the original.

HOW TO KNOW THAT A BOND IS IONIC OR COVELENT BY JUST LOOKING AT IT ?
adelina 88 [10]
Ionic bonds are made up of a metal and a nonmetal elements while covalent bonds are are made up of two metal. So, you can just look at the periodic table and identify which compounds have two metals and which have one metal and one nonmetal. Also, those compounds with high electronegativity difference are very likely to be ionic while the opposite is covalent. HOWEVER, some compounds can be both covalent and ionic. For instance, if HCI gas is at higher temperatures, then it is ionic while it would be covalent at room temp. 

Hope I've helped.
