The electron configurations of two unknown elements x and y are shown. X: 1s2 2s2 2p6 Y: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 Which statement is

most likely correct about the two elements? A) They will react because X can give up two electrons B) They will react because X and Y can share two pairs of electrons to become stable C) They will not react because both have a complete outermost shell and are stable D) They will not react because both will give up one electron. to become stable.

Answer:

B) They will react because X and Y can share two pairs of electrons to become stable

Explanation:

The electron configurations of two elements x and y are given :

X: 1s2 2s2 2p6

Y: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

The statement that is true for both the elements is that, they both will react as they both can share two pairs of electrons to become stable.

To become stable the outermost shell or p orbital should have 8 electrons, so element X  can gain 2 atoms to become stable.

Element Y can also react as it can also share two atoms to fulfill its 3p orbital and will stable.

Hence, the correct option is "B".

A mercury lamp emits radiation with a frequency of 5.62 x1024 Hz. Calculate the wavelength of
Nitella [24]

Answer:

wavelength = 0.534×10⁻¹⁶ m

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of wave = 5.62 ×10²⁴ Hz

Wavelength = ?

Solution:

Speed of photon = wavelength × frequency

wavelength = speed of photon / frequency

Now we will put the values in formula:

wavelength = 3×10⁸ m/s / 5.62 ×10²⁴ Hz

Hz = s⁻¹

wavelength = 3×10⁸ m/s / 5.62 ×10²⁴ s⁻¹

wavelength = 0.534×10⁻¹⁶ m

How many grams of i2 are needed to react with 30.1 g of n2h4?
Nina [5.8K]

The reaction is,

H2S + I2 --------------> 2 HI +S

Molar weight of H2S = 34 g per mol

Molar weight of HI =128 g per mol

Molar weight of I2 =254 g per mol

Moles of H2S in 49.2 g  = 49.2 /34 mol = 1.447 mol

So according to stoichiometry of the reaction, number of I2 mols needed                      

                                  = 1.447 mol

The mass of I2  needed = 1.447 mol x 254 g

Darina [25.2K]

The number 345,000 has 3 significant figures because the trailing zeros are not significant since there's no decimal point.

<h3>What is significant figures?</h3>

Significant figures of a number in positional notation are digits in the number that are reliable and necessary to indicate the quantity of something.

Also significant figures can be defined as, the number of digits in a value, often a measurement, that contribute to the degree of accuracy of the value.

Examples of significant figures;

  • 405 = 3 significant figures
  • 405000 = 3 significant
  • 0.040500 = 5 significant figures

<u>Note:</u> leading zeros are not significant but trailing zeros, which are zeros at the end of a number, are significant only if the number has a decimal point.

345,000 = 3.45 x 10⁵ (3 significant figures)

Thus, the number 345,000 has 3 significant figures because the trailing zeros are not significant since there's no decimal point.

How many grams of SnO2 are required to produce 1.20x10^21 molecules of water?
Drupady [299]

Answer:

  • <u>0.150 grams</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction to obtain water from SnO₂ is:

  • SnO₂ + 2H₂ → Sn + 2H₂O

The mole ratio is:

          \dfrac{1molSnO_2}{2molH_2O}

Find the number of moles equivalent to  1.20× 10²¹ molecules of water, using Avogadro's number:

         1.20\times 10^{21}molecules\times \dfrac{1mol}{6.022\times 10^{23}molecules}=1.9927\times 10^{-3}moles

From the mole ratio, the number of moles of SnO₂ are half the number of moles of water. That is:

  • 0.0019927 moles / 2 = 0.00099635 moles of SnO₂

Use the molar mass of SnO₂ to convert the number of moles to grams:

  • molar mass of SnO₂ = 150.71g/mol
  • mass of SnO₂ = 0.00099635mol × 150.71 g/mol = 0.150 grams.

The answer must be reported with 3 significant figures.

What was the half-life of a new isotope?
REY [17]
The half-life of any substance is the amount of time taken for half of the original quantity of the substance present to decay. The half-life of a radioactive substance is characteristic to itself, and it may be millions of years long or it may be just a few seconds.

In order to determine the half-life of a substance, we simply use:
t(1/2) = ln(2) / λ

Where λ is the decay constant for that specific isotope.
