Answer:

Elements having same valence electrons are placed in same group.

Explanation:

First, let's start with some basic concepts of modern periodic table:

1. Modern Periodic table : It is the arrangement of element in the increasing order of their atomic numbers

The Modern periodic table is divided into Periods and groups .

Periods : These are the horizontal rows. There are seven periods in the periodic table . Period 1 has 2 element. Period two and three has 8 elements , period 4 and 5 have 18 elements and the period 6 and 7 have 32 elements.

Same period have same number of atomic orbital(Shell)

Group : The group is the vertical columns . There are 18 groups in the modern periodic table.Those element which have same group number will also have same number of electron in their outermost shell. The number of electron in the outermost shell determines the valency of the element.

So, elements showing same valency are placed in same group.

All alkali are place in group 1 and have 1 valance electron in the outermost shell

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.

Calculate the [OH-] [H+]=0.000025

Harman [31]

Explanation:

There are several ways to define acids and bases, but pH and pOH refer to hydrogen ion concentration and hydroxide ion concentration, respectively. The "p" in pH and pOH stands for "negative logarithm of" and is used to make it easier to work with extremely large or small values. pH and pOH are only meaningful when applied to aqueous (water-based) solutions. When water dissociates it yields a hydrogen ion and a hydroxide.

Ne4ueva [31]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here's the diagram that completes the question.

Answer:

(B) nonpolar covalent bonds

Explanation:

This structure in the diagram rightly fits the description of a non-covalent bond because there is an equal sharing of electrons of Carbon (C) and Chlorine (Cl).

Remember too that these elements are in their solid-state, hence the CCl4 (carbon tetrachloride) molecules are held strongly together.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Hey, I hope this helps. You gave the equation already balanced so there was no need to do so, the next thing we need to do after balancing is to split the strong electrolytes into ions. Once that is completed we cross off any reoccurring ions. That leaves us with our complete net ionic.

I also recommend you check out Wayne Breslyn on Yt. He is so helpful with equations like these.
