The atoms of Group 7A elements gain electrons when they form ions. True False

2 answers:

6 0

Answer: True.

Explanation.

The group 7A is actually named group 17.

That group is the halogens: F, Cl, Br, I, At, and Ts (Ts is one of the last elements discovered).

Those elements have 7 valence electrons (notice that it is the same number as the second digit in 17).

The atoms with 7 valence electrons will "easily" gain one electron to get the configuration of the next noble gas (8 valence electrons). That is why these elements gain electrons to form ions.

When atoms gain electrons form anions (negative ions). For example: F(-), Cl(-), Br(-), I(-).

amm1812

Answer:

$M=0.16M$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molarity is defined as moles of solute divided by liters of solution, since we have phenol with a molar mass of 94.12 g/mol, we can first compute the moles in 1.5 g of phenol:

$n=1.5g*\frac{1mol}{94.12 g}=0.016mol$

Next, since 1000 mL = 1 L, we notice that the volume of the solution is 0.100 L and therefore, the molarity of such solution turns out:

$M=\frac{n}{V}=\frac{0.016mol}{0.100L}\\\\M=0.16M$

When magnesium combines with oxygen, the reaction involves

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c. transfer of electrons from Mg to O.

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

When Magnesium (Mg) reacts with oxygen (O), magnesium oxide is formed.

This reaction is spontaneous and occurs with oxidation number +2 of magnesium and oxidation number -2 of oxygen. It is an ionic union, so magnesium transfers its electrons to oxygen.

We conclude that the correct answer is option c. transfer of electrons from Mg to O.

What is the limiting reactant when 5.6 moles of aluminum react with 6.2 moles of water?

alexira [117]

The limiting reactant when 5.6 moles of aluminium react with 6.2 moles of water is

water( H2O)

Explanation

The balanced equation is as below

2 Al +3 H2O → Al2O3 +3 H2

The mole ratio of Al :Al2O3 is 2:1 therefore the moles of Al2O3

= 5.6 x1/2 = 2.8 moles

The mole ratio of H2O: Al2O3 is 3:1 therefore the moles of Al2O3 produced

= 6.2 x1/3= 2.067 moles

since H2O yield less amount of Al2O3 , H2O is the limiting reagent.
