I don’t know what the “cheater” way is, however you can easily judge how many valence electrons an element has by looking at its group number on the periodic table.

Bonding in chemistry is completely and totally due to electrons. Every element wants 8 electrons in its outer shell in order to be stable. This is what we call the “Octet Rule”.

QUICK QUESTION: On the Bohr model, how come potassium has 19 electrons in its valence shell if potassium has a K+? Isn’t it supp
Vlada [557]

Answer:  K only has 1 valence electron.  It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.

Explanation:  A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons.  But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell.  Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals.  Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1.  The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level.  So it has a valency of 1.  This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4).  When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1.  The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.

If a student mixes 75 mL of 1.30 M HNO3 and 150 mL of 6.5 M NaOH. is the final solution acidic, basic, or neutral
raketka [301]

Answer:

The solution is basic.

Explanation:

We can determine the nature of the solution via determining which has the large no. of millimoles (acid or base):

  • If no. of millimoles of acid > that of base; the solution is acidic.
  • If no. of millimoles of acid = that of base; the solution is neutral.
  • If no. of millimoles of acid < that of base; the solution is basic.

  • We need to calculate the no. of millimoles of acid and base:

no. of millimoles of acid (HNO₃) = MV = (1.3 M)(75.0 mL) = 97.5 mmol.

no. of millimoles of base (NaOH) = MV = (6.5 M)(150.0 mL) = 975.0 mmol.

<em>∴ The no. of millimoles of base (NaOH) is larger by 10 times than the acid (HNO₃).</em>

<em>So, the solution is: basic.</em>

Please help this is due today! 5-11-2021
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

- The chemical reaction is not balanced. There is two oxygens on the reactant's side while there's only one oxygen on the products side.

- I would not say it's following the law of conservation of mass as it's not a balanced equation.

- To balance this equation, you would need to add the coefficient of '2' to Magnesium (Mg) on the reactants side, and add the coefficient of '2' to the products side.  This would make it so that there's 2 Mg's and 2 O's on both the reactant's side and products side.

edit: I hope this helped you in some way. ^^
