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

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 :)

A gas occupies 100.0 mL at a pressure of 780 mm ahh. What is the volume of the gas when it’s pressure is increased to 880 mm Hg

vlabodo [156]

Hello!

The volume of the gas when its pressure is increased to 880 mm Hg is 88,64 mL

This question can be easily answered using the Boyle's Law, which states that as pressure increases, the volume is lower. It can be expressed in a mathematical way as follows:

$P_1*V_1=P_2*V_2$

So, from this equation we can clear V₂ to find the volume at 880 mm Hg:

$V_2= \frac{P_1*V_1}{P_2}= \frac{780 mmHg*100 mL}{880 mmHg}=88,64 mL$

Have a nice day!

Calculate the number of C, H, and O atoms in 1.75 g of squaric acid

strojnjashka [21]

As far as I remember, the needed formula for squaric acid is C4H2O4.
According to this one mole should be 114.06 g., which means we have 0.015mol of this acid.
Then we can easly calculate : 4(0.015) = 0.06 mol for both for Carbon and Oxygen and 0.03 mol of Hydrogen.
To get more clear answer, we multiply by avogadros :
6.022 x 10^23. Hope everything is clear! regards
