Which metal atoms can form ionic bonds by losing electrons from both the outermost and next to outermost principal energy levels

Full question options;

(Fe, Pb, Mg, or Ca)

Answer:

Iron - Fe

Explanation:

We understand tht metals pretty much form bonds by losing their valence (outermost electrons). But this question specifically asks for metals that lose beyond their outermost electrons; next to outermost principal energy levels.

Pb, Mg, and Ca only lose their outermost electrons to form the following ions;

Pb2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+.

This is because their ions have achieved a stable octet configuration - the dreamland of atoms where they are satisfied and don't need to go into reactions again.

Iron on the other hand has the following electronic configurations;

Fe:  [Ar]4s2 3d6

Fe2+:  [Ar]4s0 3d6

Fe3+:  [Ar]4s0 3d5

This means ion can lose both the ooutermost electrons (4s) and next to outermost principal energy levels (3d). So correct option is Iron.

What is the mass in grams of 8 moles of Cu?
frez [133]

Answer:

mass = 508 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Cu = 8 mol

Mass in gram = ?

Solution:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of Cu is 63.5 g/mol.

Now we will put the values in formula.

8 mol = mass /63.5 g/mol

mass = 63.5 g/mol ×8 mol

mass = 508 g
