What does a fluorine ion have in common with a neon and a sodium ion

Chemistry

The atomic number (Z) of the 3 elements F, Ne, and Na, are 9, 10, and 11.

Explanation:

Now Z refers to the number of protons in the element's nucleus, and protons are POSITIVELY charged particles. So a fluoride ion, F−, has 10 electrons rather than 9 (why?), a neutral neon atom has 10 electrons, and a sodium ion, Na+, also has 10 electrons (why?).

So the 3 species are ISOELECTRONIC; they possess the same number of electrons. 

You should look at the Periodic Table to confirm the electron number. Elements are (usually) electrically neutral (sometimes they can be ionic if they have lost or gained electrons). If there are 10 positively charged protons in the nucleus, there are NECESSARILY 10 electrons associated with the NEUTRAL atom. I don't know WHY I am capitalizing certain WORDS.

You might ask why sodium will form a positive ion, Na+, whereas F forms a negative ion, F−. This again is a Periodic phenomenon, and explicable on the basis of the electronic structure that the Table formalizes.

Neutral metals tend to be electron-rich species, which have 1 or more electrons in a valence shell remote from the nuclear charge. On the other hand, neutral non-metals have valence electrons in incomplete shells, that do not effectively shield the nuclear charge. The demonstrable consequence is that metals lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions.

Use this condensed chemical structure
liberstina [14]

Answer:

number of carbon-carbon single (C - C) bonds: 1

number of carbon-hydrogen single (C H) bonds: 5

number of nitrogen-hydrogen sing le (N H) bonds:2

number of lone pairs: 1

Explanation:

Ethanamine is a colourless gas having a strong 'ammonia- like' odour. It contains the -NH2 group which makes it an amine. It contains one carbon-carbon bond, five carbon-hydrogen bonds and two nitrogen-hydrogen bonds.

Nitrogen, being sp3 hybridized in the compound has a lone pair of electrons localized on one of the sp3 hybridized orbitals of nitrogen while one sp3 hybridized orbital of nitrogen is used to form a carbon-nitrogen bond. The other two sp3 hybridized orbitals on nitrogen are used to form the two nitrogen-hydrogen bonds.

How much energy is added to change 180g of liquid water to gas at 100 degrees Celsius
Finger [1]

Answer:

40.7 kJ  

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the heat, q, needed to evaporate a liquid is

q = mΔHvap


<em>Data:  </em>

        m = 180 g

ΔHvap = 2260 J/g

<em>Calculation: </em>

q = 180 g × 2260 /1

q = 40 700 J = 40.7 kJ

The 85.2-g sample of the compound x4o10 contains 48.0 g of oxygen atoms. what is the molar mass of element x?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
X4O10
Let molar mass of X be y
molar mass =  4y + 10 x 16 = 4y+160

so, moles = 85.2 / (4y+160)

Moles of oxygen = 10 x [85.2 / (4y+160) ]
Mass of oxygen  = 16 x 10 x [85.2 / (4y+160) ]
which is 48.0

so, 48 = 16 x 10 x [85.2 / (4y+160) ]

Solve the equation to get y.

y = 31
