Answer:
Carbon and Oxygen, Argon and Helium.
Explanation:
noble gases have full outer shells of electrons, and so cannot share other atoms' electrons to form bonds. sodium and chlorine form an ionic bond.
Explanation:
Scandium has atomic number of 21. This means that in it's neutral state its going to have 21 electrons.
a) The full electronic configuration is given as;
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d1 4s2
The final electron is placed in the d orbital. The shell is 3d
(b) When scandium has a charge if +1, it has lost an electron. The total number of electrons would now be 21-1 = 20
The electronic configuration would be given as;
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2
The electron in the 3d orbital would be removed.
Answer:
O, N, C, H
Explanation:
Electronegativity of an element is the property that combines the ability of its atom to lose or gain electrons. It measures the relative tendency with which the atoms of the element attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.
On the periodic table, Electronegativity increases across the period but decreases down a group.
To solve the given problem, let us use thE Pauling's table of electronegativities to compare the electronegativities of the elements.
On the table:
C = 2.5
H = 2.1
O = 3.5
N = 3.0
In terms of decreasing electronegativities, the atoms are arranged as:
O N C H
