Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) The atom has changed over the years.</em>

Explanation:

Option A is not correct because an atom does not change. It remains the same always. The structure of an atom will always contain neutrons, protons and electrons.

Scientific theories tend to change over time as new information is brought up. Novel techniques lead to more advanced experiments and results. As a result, a scientific theory is subjected to change whenever evidence is found for a new theory which challenges the older one.

The atomic theory has changed many times due to novel scientific techniques and experiments.

How do you determine valence electrons of a metal? A non Metal?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Check the electronic configuration of elements.

Explanation:

▪Valence electrons are the elwctrons present in the outermost shell of any element.

For example,

Electronic Configuration of Sodium = 2,8,1

Here , Sodium has 1 valence electrons.

▪Valency of an element is the total no. of electrons to be gained/losed in order to achieve duplet/octate state.

For example,

Electronic configuration of Sodium = 2,8,1

Sodium can achieve octate state either by losing 1 electron or gaining 7 electrons. But losing 1 electron is eay than gaining 7 electrons. So Valency of Sodium = +1

☆Metals have 1 or 2 or 3 valence electrons.

☆Non metals have 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 valence electrons.

☆Noble gases tend to stay in duplet/octate state i.e they have 2 or 8 valence electrons.

How many grams are in 2.3 x 1024 formula units of KNO3?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

390 g KNO₃

<h2>General Formulas and Concepts:</h2><h3><u>Chemistry</u></h3>

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.
<h3><u>Math</u></h3>

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

  1. Brackets
  2. Parenthesis
  3. Exponents
  4. Multiplication
  5. Division
  6. Addition
  7. Subtraction
  • Left to Right
<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

2.3 × 10²⁴ formula units KNO₃

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of K - 39.10 g/mol

Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g.mol

Molar Mass of KNO₃ - 39.10 + 14.01 + 3(16.00) = 101.11 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

<u />2.3 \cdot 10^{24} \ formula \ units \ KNO_3(\frac{1 \ mol \ KNO_3}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ formula \ units \ KNO_3} )(\frac{101.11 \ g \ KNO_3}{1 \ mol \ KNO_3} ) = 386.172 g KNO₃

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>We are given 2 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

386.172 g KNO₃ ≈ 390 g KNO₃
