Answer:

The empirical formula is = NiO

Explanation:

Given that:- Mass of nickel = 2.241 g

Mass of the oxide formed = 2.852 g

Mass of the oxygen reacted = Mass of the oxide formed - Mass of nickel  = 2.852 g - 2.241 g = 0.611 g

Molar mass of nickel  = 58.6934 g/mol

Moles of nickel = \frac{2.241}{58.6934}\ mol = 0.03818 mol

Molar mass of oxygen  = 15.999 g/mol

Moles of nickel = \frac{0.611}{15.999}\ mol = 0.03818 mol

Taking the simplest ratio for Ni and O as:

0.03818 : 0.03818 = 1 : 1

<u>The empirical formula is = NiO </u>

Sav [38]

Answer:

1. 1

2. 2

3. 6

4. 8

Explanation:

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

1. Li is the symbol for the chemical element known as Lithium: it has 1 valence electron. The electronic configuration of lithium is 1s²2s¹

2. Mg is the symbol for the chemical element known as Magnesium: it has 2 valence electrons. The electronic configuration of magnesium is 1s²2s²2p63s²

3. O is the symbol for the chemical element known as Oxygen: it has 6 valence electrons. The electronic configuration of magnesium is 1s²2s²2p⁴.

4. Ne is the symbol for the chemical element known as Neon: it has 8 valence electrons.
