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

Chemistry

svetlana [45]4 years ago

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.

Based on periodic properties, choose the more metallic element from each of the following pairs.
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Sr is the more metallic element

Bi is the more metallic element

O is the more metallic element

As is the more metallic element

Explanation:

One thing should be clear; metallic character increases down the group but decreases across the period.

Hence, as we move across the period, elements become less metallic. As we move down the group elements become more metallic.

This is the basis upon which decisions were made about the metallic character of each of the elements listed above.

<span>Consider two solutions: solution X has a pH of 4; solution Y has a pH of 7. From this information, we can reasonably conclude that </span>the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) or hydronium ions (H₃O⁺) in solution X is thousand times as great as the concentration of hydrogen ions or hydronium ions in solution Y.
Solution X: c(H⁺) = 10∧-pH = 10⁻⁴ mol/L = 0,0001 mol/L.
Solution Y: c(H⁺) = 10⁻⁷ mol/L = 0,0000001 mol/L.
0,0001 mol/L / 0,0000001 mol/L = 1000.

Will a double replacement reaction occur if a potassium hydroxide solution is mixed with a lead(II) nitrate solution? Briefly ex
ohaa [14]
No - a precipitation will occur though. Potassium nitrate is soluble in water, so the potassium and nitrate ions will remain spectator ions and stay in solution. Lead (II) hydroxide is not soluble, and will precipitate out of solution to form a solid product.
