A valence electron structure would be like this 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 etc 
1s^2 would be 2, 2s^2 would be 4, 2p^6 would be 12 and so on and so forth.

The orbital is called an energy level and they follow an 2/8/8 rule.
2 in the first
8 in the second
and
8 in the third.
so 8 would be the answer.

copper hydroxide and potassium sulfate are produced when potassium hydroxide reacts with copper sulfate balanced equation
a_sh-v [17]

This problem is requiring the balanced chemical equation that takes place when copper hydroxide and potassium sulfate are produced when reacting potassium hydroxide with copper sulfate.

<h3>Balancing chemical equations:</h3>

In chemistry, balancing chemical equations is based on the law of conservation of mass, which demands us to have equal number of atoms on both sides of the chemical equation. This can be accomplished by inserting coefficients in front of the chemical species.

For this particular case, we have potassium hydroxide with copper sulfate on the reactants side, however, copper can be copper (I) or copper (II) as it has 1+ and 2+ as its possible oxidation numbers. In addition, copper hydroxide and potassium sulfate as the products. Hence, we can assume this is all about copper (II) so we can write:

KOH+CuSO_4\rightarrow K_2SO_4+Cu(OH)_2

As we can see, potassium, hydrogen and oxygen have two atoms each on the products side, but just one on the reactants side; drawback we can overcome by putting a 2 in front of KOH so as to balance it:

2KOH+CuSO_4\rightarrow K_2SO_4+Cu(OH)_2

Can someone help me with this I've been stuck on it for a few days​
Fiesta28 [93]
So I haven’t got time to answer all of it for you but the id you look at the picture of the periodic table I’ve added the top number in the red boxes are the groups and the period is how many elements down from the top it is (remember that the hydrogen and helium make up period ONE) so remember to include them when counting the elements as you go down the table
