An element x atomic number 16 reacts with an element Y atomic number 20 to form a compound

Chemistry
1 answer:
tekilochka [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Element x has an atomic number of 16, it is sulphur.

Element Y has an atomic number of 20, it is calcium.

i) Sulphur is in Group VI, period 3 in the modern periodic table,

whereas calcium is in Group II, period 4 of the modern periodic table.

ii) Ionic bonds will form between them. This is because metals and non-metals (Cacium and sulphur) usually form ionic compounds where between the ions are held by ionic bonds (which are transferred electrons so that both elements can attain a stable status).

iii) CaS

each Calcium atom can lose 2 electrons to attain 8 outermost shell electrons, while each sulphur atom can gain the 2 electrons to attain 8 outermost shell electrons, where they will most be stable (octet). Hence, the atomic ratio of Ca and S is 1:1.

Please help!!<br><br>Show the electronic configuration of magnesium atom​.
Galina-37 [17]

Explanation:

Magnesium has atomic number 12. It will be distributed in K, L, M shell in the following way:

K shell can accommodate a maximum of 2 electrons.

L shell can accommodate a maximum of 8 electrons and

M shell will accommodate 2 electrons

So the configuration becomes 2, 8,3

why is the concentration of helium increased in some gas mixtures that divers breath in order to reduce the partial pressure of
sdas [7]

Answer:

Because of oxygen toxicity.

Explanation:

Oxygen toxicity.

Oxygen has been known to cause central nervous system (CNS) toxicity when the pressure gets higher. This toxicity can cause convulsions, and this can cause the diver to drown.

The current standard maximum safe oxygen working pressure is 1.4 atm ppO2. This is equal to 56.5m/185′ when breathing air (21% O2 / 79% N). Below that depth the fraction of oxygen in a breathing gas must be reduced, and in order to maintain this maximum pressure of 1.4 ppO2, Helium must be added.

For the reaction: 3 H2(g) + N2(g) &lt;--&gt; 2 NH3(g), the concentrations at equilbrium were [H2] = 0.10 M, [N2] = 0.10 M, and [
masya89 [10]

The equilibrium constant, k of the reaction in which case, the concentrations of the given reactants and products are as indicated is; Choice A; K = 3.1 x 10⁵

<h3>What is the equilibrium constant , k of the reaction as described in the task content?</h3>

It follows from above that the concentrations of the reactants and products are as follows; [H2] = 0.10 M, [N2] = 0.10 M, and [NH3] = 5.6 M at equilibrium.

Hence, the equilibrium constant of the reaction in discuss is;

K = [5.6]²/[0.10]³[0.10]

k = 5.6² × 10⁴

k = 3.136 × 10⁵

K = 3.1 × 10⁵.
