Fluorine (F) has seven electrons in its outermost shell. Fluorine _____.

2 answers:

7 0

Fluorine is a nonmetal and as such it would need to take in or obtain an electron from a metal to have a stable octet, or full number of 8 electrons in its valence shell. Thus due to the indifference of electrons and protons it becomes an anion, a negatively charged ion.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Non-metals are the species that tend to gain electrons in order to complete their octet.

For example, atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7.

So, in order to completely fill its octet it needs to gain an electron. Hence, it means it is a non-metal.

Whereas elements that tend to lose electrons in order to attain stability are known as metals.

For example, atomic number of potassium is 19 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 8, 1. Hence, to attain stability it loses its 1 valence electron.

Thus, we can conclude that fluorine (F) has seven electrons in its outermost shell. Fluorine is a non-metal.

One half of the distance between the nuclei of two atoms bonded together by a single bond is known as

vodka [1.7K]

Answer is: an atomic radius.

The atomic radius of a chemical element is a measure of the size of its atom.
The atomic radius varies with increasing atomic number, but usually increases because of increasing of number of electrons.
The atomic radius decreases across the periods because an increasing number of protons, because greater attraction between the protons and electrons.

The pressure of a 70.0L sample of gas is 600 mm Hg at 20.0C. If the temperature drops to 15.0C and the volume expands to 90.0L,

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

458.7 mmHg

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This includes:

Initial volume (V1) = 70L

Initial pressure (P1) = 600 mmHg

Initial temperature (T1) = 20°C

Final temperature (T2) = 15°C

Final volume (V2) = 90L

Final pressure (P2) =...?

Step 2:

Conversion of celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature.

This is illustrated below:

T(K) = T (°C) + 273

Initial temperature (T1) = 20°C

Initial temperature (T1) = 20°C + 273 = 293K

Final temperature (T2) = 15°C

Final temperature (T2) = 15°C + 273 = 288K

Step 3:

Determination of the new pressure of the gas.

The new pressure of the gas can be obtained by using the general gas equation as shown below:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

600 x 70/293 = P2 x 90/288

Cross multiply to express in linear form

P2 x 90 x 293 = 600 x 70 x 288

Divide both side by 90 x 293

P2 = (600 x 70 x 288) / (90 x 293)

P2 = 458.7 mmHg

Therefore, the new pressure of the gas is 458.7 mmHg

How many grams of solid NaOH are required to prepare a 400ml of a 5N solution? show your work!

Nuetrik [128]

Answer: The mass of solid NaOH required is 80 g

Explanation:

Equivalent weight is calculated by dividing the molecular weight by n factor. The equation used is:

$\text{Equivalent weight}=\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{n}$

where,

n = acidity for bases = 1 (For NaOH)

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Equivalent weight}=\frac{40g/mol}{1eq/mol}=40g/eq$

Normality is defined as the umber of gram equivalents dissolved per liter of the solution.

Mathematically,

$\text{Normality of solution}=\frac{\text{Number of gram equivalents} \times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

Or,

$\text{Normality of solution}=\frac{\text{Given mass}\times 1000}{\text{Equivalent mass}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$ ......(1)

We are given:

Given mass of NaOH = ?

Equivalent mass of NaOH = 40 g/eq

Volume of solution = 400 mL

Normality of solution = 5 eq/L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$5eq/L=\frac{\text{Mass of NaOH}\times 1000}{40g/eq\times 400mL}\\\\\text{Mass of NaOH}=80g$

Hence, the mass of solid NaOH required is 80 g
