What is the number of valence electrons that most atoms prefer?

Answer: 8 electrons

Explanation: Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and they are important in chemical reactions.

Atoms are <em>happy</em> when they follow the octet rule which states that 2 electrons can go in the first shell and 8 electrons can go in the other shells.

Electrons are happy when they have a full outer shell which usually needs to be 8 electrons. However, some of the smaller elements like helium are happy because they can hold a max of 2 electrons and helium has 2 electrons since it has 2 protons in its core as well as 2 electrons in its energy levels.

The cylinder of aluminum in class was approximately 13mm in circumference and 42mm in length. What would be it's approximate mas
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Mass, m = 1.51 grams

Explanation:

It is given that,

The circumference of Aluminium cylinder, C = 13 mm = 1.3 cm

Length of the cylinder, h = 4.2 cm

We know that the density of the Aluminium is 2.7 g/cm³

Circumference, C = 2πr

r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{1.3}{2\pi}\\\\r=0.206\ cm

Density is equal to mass per unit volume.

d=\dfrac{m}{V}

m is mass of the cylinder

V is the volume of the cylinder

V=\pi r^2h\\\\V=\dfrac{22}{7}\times0.206^2\times 4.2\\\\V=0.5601\ cm^3

So,

m=d\times V\\\\m=2.7\times 0.5601\\\\m=1.51\ g

So, the mass of the cylinder is 1.51 grams.

Rock and ice particles make up the ____ of the Jovian planets? Ring system, craters, volcanoes, or asteroids
lara31 [8.8K]
Jovian planets are what we call the "gas giants," so immediately we can eliminate craters or volcanos because they don't have a solid surface. asteroids in space doesn't belong to any specific planet, so the answer is ring systems.

If i have 8 L of 0.25 M solution, how many miles of MgCl2 are present
qaws [65]

Answer:

2 moles

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

Molarity = 0.25 M

Volume = 8L

Mole =?

Molarity is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of solution. It is represented mathematically as:

Molarity = mole of solute/Volume of solution.

With the above equation, we can easily find the number of mole of MgCl2 present in 8 L of 0.25 M MgCl2 solution as follow:

Molarity = mole of solute/Volume of solution.

0.25 = mole of MgCl2 /8

Cross multiply to express in linear form

Mole of MgCl2 = 0.25 x 8

Mole of MgCl2 = 2 moles

Therefore, 2 moles of MgCl2 are present in 8 L of 0.25 M MgCl2 solution
