The electron configuration of an element is 1s22s22p4 Describe what most likely

Chemistry
1 answer:
svetlana [45]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The two atoms will contribute and share two electrons each in a double covalent bond, to form a molecule of the element.

Explanation:

Following the rule which says that an octet structure in the valence electrons shell of an atom, when two atoms of an element with the electronic configuration 1s²2s²2p⁴ comeclose to each other, they will share there electrons in covalent bonding to form a molecule, and thus attain stability by achieving an octet structure.

An atom of the element with electronic configuration 1s²2s²2p⁴, has 6 valence electrons and thus, needs two more electrons in order to achieve an octet. This is achieved by sharing two electrons with another atom of the same element which contributes two electrons as well to form a double covalent bond and a molecule of the element. Therefore, each atom would then have an octet structure in their valence shells.

How would the electron configuration of nitrogen change to make a stable configuration?
AnnZ [28]

The answers to the questions are as follows;

  1. It would gain three electrons
  2. The difference in their electronegativities.
  3. The elements have filled Valence levels
  4. potassium (K) with a 1+ charge
  5. ClO-

Question 1:

  • How would the electron configuration of nitrogen change to make a stable configuration?

Since Nitrogen has 5 Valence electrons, it needs 3 electrons to attain it's octet configuration. As such, it gains 3 electrons.

Question 2:

  • Which quantity determines how two atoms bond.

The quantity which determines how two atoms bond is The difference in their electronegativities.

Question 3:

  • Which statement best explains why the elements in Group 18 do not have electronegativity values.

This is because the elements have filled Valence levels.

Question 4:

  • Based on patterns in the periodic table, which ion has a stable valence electron configuration

The ion which has a stable Valence electron configuration is potassium (K) with a 1+ charge

Question 5;

  • Which chemical formula represents a polyatomic ion?

The chemical formula which represents a polyatomic ion is; ClO-

Since water can be prepared in the laboratory
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

# In a familiar high-school chemistry demonstration, an instructor first uses electricity to split water into its constituent gases, Hydrogen and Oxygen. Then, by combining the two gases and igniting them with a spark, the instructor changes the gases back into water with a loud pop (That means the energy is released in the process).

# There are new other ways to produce water in laboratory, however, the scientists can not produce water in large quantity for the masses, because of some reasons.

1- Theoretically, this is possible, but it would be an extremely dangerous process. Since Hydrogen is extremely flammable and Oxygen supports combustion, it wouldn’t take much to create this force, but we also have an explosion. That’s why this process can be a deadly one if our experiment is big enough.

2- Personally, I think that it makes no sense to produce water in a laboratory ( or in a large plant) for people to use as daily water. The much more important thing we need to do is to save our environment, our planet Earth. Because the daily water people drink contains not just water molecules but other minerals, the marine life is depend not just in water molecules but diferent factors, etc.

Explanation:

This is just my personal opinion. Hope that can help you a little. Have a nice day

What would happen if carbon -14 gained 1 proton and lost 1 neutron?
sleet_krkn [62]
D. To answer this question refer to the periodic table and think logically about it. Adding one proton increases the atomic number so you go along the row to Nitrogen. If you lose one neutron then the atomic mass decreases by 1 so 14-1 is 13.
