Elements within the same group of the periodic table behave similarly because they have the same number of ?

1 answer:

4 0

The elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital. Or also called valence electrons. Khan academy has a great video online explaining why this happens. (It only happens for main group elements). Here is a link (sorry you can’t click it in Brainly) https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/periodic-table/copy-of-periodic-table-of-elements/v/periodic-table-valence-electrons. Feel free to message me for a better explanation, I would explain now but I’m not sure how much you know about this. If you know how to write an electron configuration you can see how all the electron configurations for the same group (not the transitional metals only the main groups) have the same number of valence electrons. I hope that helped, sorry I was vague about the explanation :)

How many electrons does the oxygen atom need to become stable?

NemiM [27]

Answer:

2 electrons

Explanation:

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons and to be stable it needs 8. That means it needs 2 more electrons to have a full octet.

PLEASE HELP!!! NEED TO PASS THIS TO THE FIRST SEMESTER!

Cloud [144]

Answer:

Reaction 1 is balanced but 2 is not balanced , the balance equation are :

1. $CH_{3}COOH(aq) + NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g) + H_{2}O(l) + CH_{3}COONa(aq)$

2. $CaCl_{2}(aq) + 2NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CaCO_{3}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + 2NaCl(aq) + H_{2}O(aq)$

Explanation:

Balanced Equations : These are the equation which follows the law of conservation of mass .

The total number of atoms present in reactant is equal to total number of atoms present in product.

1. $CH_{3}COOH(aq) + NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g) + H_{2}O(l) + CH_{3}COONa(aq)$

This is acid - base type reaction where

$CH_{3}COOH(aq)$ act as Acid

$NaHCO_{3}(aq)$ act as weak base

Reactant : $CH_{3}COOH(aq)$ , $NaHCO_{3}$

Number of atoms of :

C = 2 ( $CH_{3}COOH(aq)$ ) + 1 ( $NaHCO_{3}$ )

= 2 + 1

= 3

H = 4( $CH_{3}COOH(aq)$ ) + 1 ( $NaHCO_{3}$ )

= 4 + 1

O = 2( $CH_{3}COOH(aq)$ ) + 3 ( $NaHCO_{3}$ )

= 5

Na = 1 ( $NaHCO_{3}$ )

= 1

Product : $CO_{2}(g)$ , $H_{2}O(l)$ , $CH_{3}COONa(aq)$

Number of atoms :

C = 1( $CO_{2}(g)$ ) + 2( $CH_{3}COONa(aq)$ )

= 1 + 2

= 3

H = 2( $H_{2}O(l)$ ) + 3( $CH_{3}COONa(aq)$ )

= 2 + 3

= 5

O = 1( $H_{2}O(l)$ ) + 2( $CH_{3}COONa(aq)$ )

+2( $CO_{2}(g)$

= 1 + 2 + 2

= 5

Na = 1( $CH_{3}COONa(aq)$

= 1

Number of Na =1 , C = 3 , H= 5 and O =5 in both reactant and product , so it is a balanced reaction

2. $CaCl_{2}(aq) + 2NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CaCO_{3}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + 2NaCl(aq) + CO_{2}(g)$

This is double displacement reaction .

Check the balancing in both reactant and products should be :

Na = 2

H = 2

Ca = 1

C = 2

O = 6

Cl = 2

Adi loves the smell of lavender, so she decides to press a few petals of the flower until they release a few drops of oil. She w

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

What Adi failed to realize is that the oily substance that was obtained from lavender consists of a mixture of substances. It is not only the required fragrance that is present in the extract.

This experiment will not work because those other components in the mixture may be erroneously identified when they show up in the mass spectrum of the extract and may be mistaken for the fragrance in question.

Hence the experiment will not work because; if some kind of separation method is not used to identify other impurities in the oil, many other substances may be mistaken for the actual fragrance.
