Answer:

In an atom, the first energy level can hold  <u><em>2</em></u> electrons. The second energy level can hold <em><u>8</u></em> electrons. The third energy level can hold  <u><em>18 </em></u>electrons.

Explanation:

There are 7 energy levels, numbered from 1 to 7, and in which electrons are distributed. Each level is divided into sub-levels. These sub-levels into which each level is divided can be up to 4 and these are called: s, p, d, f. In the sub-level s there can only be a maximum of 2 electrons, in p there can be a maximum of 6 electrons, in the sub-level d 10 electrons and finally in the sub-level f there can be a maximum of 14 electrons.

In level 1 there is only one sub-level, which will be the s. In level 2 there are 2 sub-levels, the s and the p. At level 3 there are 3 sub-levels s, p and d. And at level 4 there are 4 sub-levels, the s, the p, the d and the f.

As in level 1 there is only the sub-level s, and this sub-level can only contain 2 electrons at most, then <u><em>the first energy level can hold  2 electrons.</em></u>

As in level 2 there is the sub-level s and p, and these sub-levels can only contain 2 and 6 electrons at most respectively, by adding them you get that <u><em>the second energy level can hold 8 electrons.</em></u>

As in level 3 there is the sub-level s, p and d, and these sub-levels can only contain 2, 6 and 10 electrons at most respectively, by adding them you get that <u><em>the third energy level can hold 18 electrons.</em></u>

The maximum number of electrons in each level can also be calculated by means of the expression: 2*n², where n is the level to which the electrons belong. Then:

  • First Level: 2*1²= 2 electrons
  • Second Level: 2*2²= 8 electrons
  • Third Level: 2*3²= 18 electrons

You can see that you get the same amount of electrons, so either of the two ways of thinking is correct.

Salutations!

What causes a substance to change states of matter?

Energy causes a substance to change states of matter. A matter needs energy to melt, evaporate, boil. Remember: Energy has a sudden change, but the temperature remains absolutely the same. An example of a change in energy is when ice is melting.

Hope I helped (:

Have a great day!

a 1.912 g samplw of calcium chloride is decomposed and found to contain 0.690 g of Ca and 1.222 g of Cl. Calculate the mass perc
adoni [48]

Answer:

36.09% is the mass percent composition of calcium in calcium chloride

Explanation:

Mass percent is defined as one hundred times the ratio between the mass of a compound (In this case, Calcium), and the total mass of the sample:

<em>Mass Percent = Mass compound / Total mass of the sample × 100</em>

<em />

Computing the values of the problem:

Mass Percent = 0.690g / 1.912g * 100

Mass percent =

<h3>36.09% is the mass percent composition of calcium in calcium chloride</h3>

Acetylene (C2H2), an important fuel in welding, is produced in the laboratory when calcium carbide (CaC2) reacts with water: CaC
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

There are 1.287 grams of acetylene collected

Explanation:

Total gas pressure = 909 mmHg

Vapor pressure of water = 20.7 mmHg

Pressure of acetylene = 909 mmHg - 20.7 mmHg = 888.3 mmHg

1mmHg = 1 torr

22 ° C + 273.15 = 295.15 Kelvin

Ideal gas law ⇒ pV = nRT

⇒ with p = pressure of the gas in atm

⇒ with V = volume of the gas in L

⇒ with n = amount of substance of gas ( in moles)

⇒ with R = gas constant, equal to the product of the Boltzmann constant and the Avogadro constant (62.36 L * Torr *K^−1 *mol^−1)

⇒ with T = absolute temperature of the gas (in Kelvin)

888.3 torr * 1.024 L = n * 62.36 L * Torr *K^−1 *mol^−1 * 295.15 K

n = 0.04942 moles of C2H2

Mass of C2H2 = 0.04942 moles x 26.04 g/mole = 1.287 g

There are 1.287 grams of acetylene collected
