Nonmetals gain electrons under certain conditions to attain a noble gas electron configuration. How many electrons must be gaine

d by the element hydrogen ( H ) to attain noble gas electron configuration?

Answer:

1

Explanation:

For non metals to attain a noble gas configuration, they gain the number of electrons needed to attain the noble gas configuration of the noble gas at the end of their periods. This means that these non metals would only take up the configuration of the last element on their periods which of course is always a noble gas.

The last element on the hydrogen period or more conservatively the only other element on the hydrogen period is helium, with an atomic number of 2. The atomic number is the number of protons in he nucleus of an atom. For an electrically neutral atom, the number of electrons equal the number of protons.

Hence we can deduce that helium has 2 electrons while hydrogen has one electron. Thus for it to attain the configuration of helium, it just needs to gain one more electron

Answer:

1-1) NaHCO3 + CH3COOH --> NaCH3COO + H2O + CO2

1-2) 0.5 mole of CO2

2-1) 2C4H10 + 13O2 --> 8CO2 + 10H2O

2-2) 4 mol CO2

Explanation:

<u>Question 1</u>

NaHCO3 + CH3COOH --> NaCH3COO + H2O + CO2

<em>To balance the equation, count the number of atoms on both sides of the equation</em>

(1 Na, 1+3+1H, 1+1+1C, 3+2Oxygen) --> (1 Na, 1+1+1C, 3+2H, 2+1+2Oxygen)

<em>Combining the pluses will give you the following</em>

(1 Na, 5H, 3C, 5Oxygen) --> (1 Na, 3C, 5H, 5Oxygen)

<em>Both sides are the same, therefore the chemical equation is balanced (originally). </em>

From the equation, we can see that <u>1 mole of NaHCO3</u> produces <u>1 mole of CO2</u>.

So that means <u>0.5 mole of NaHCO3</u> would produce <u>0.5 mole of CO2</u>.

<u>Question 2</u>

C4H10 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O

<em>Again, count the number of atoms on both sides of the equation</em>

(4C, 10H, 2O) --> (1C, 2H, 3O)     <em>This time left does not equal right side</em>

<em>You now need to find </em><u><em>factors </em></u><em>that can make both sides equal. </em>

C4H10 + O2 --> <u>4</u>CO2 + H2O    <em>Now the C is balanced, let's recount </em>

<em>(4C, 10H, 2Oxygen) --> (4C, 8+1Oxygen, 2H)      H&O is still not balanced</em>

C4H10 + O2 --> 4CO2 + <u>5</u>H2O    <em>Now the H is balanced, let's recount</em>

<em>(4C, 10H, 2Oxygen) --> (4C, 8+5Oxygen, 10H)      O is still not balanced</em>

C4H10 + (<u>13/2</u>)O2 --> 4CO2 + 5H2O    <em>Now the O is balanced</em>

<em>(4C, 10H, 13Oxygen) --> (4C, 13Oxygen, 10H)</em>

<em>But because 13/2 is a fraction, we want to eliminate that by multiplying every reactant and product by 2 (the denominator).</em>

<u>2</u>C4H10 + <u>13</u>O2 --> <u>8</u>CO2 + <u>10</u>H2O    Now it's completely balanced!

<em>(8C, 20H, 28Oxygen) --> (8C, 28Oxygen, 20H)     Yayy! It's balanced.</em>

Now, 2 mol C4H10 produces 8 mol CO2.

So 1 mol C4H10 produces 4 mol CO2.

Can you force the atoms into new configurations by pushing atoms around
marta [7]
<span>No, this is not possible. The reason for this impossibility is that the electrons are not attracted to one another, and thus, would repel. If you were to push the atoms into each other, the electrons would then prevent this from happening. Essentially atoms will bounce off of one another due to the repel of charges.</span>

when a number in scientific notation contains a significant zero, is that zero also significant in the expanded notation? give t
AlexFokin [52]
I believe you are referring zero as the exponent. <span>Any number (except 0) with exponent 0 is defined to mean 1.
</span>

For one thing, there is a rule: 

<span> a^m/ a^m = a^m-m = a^0

</span>But (when a is not equal to <span>0),
</span>
a^m/ a^m = 1

Therefore, we must define a^0 as 1.
