Answer:
sulfur
Explanation:
In oxygen family sulfur has yellow color and also having stinky smell. Thus given statements are about sulfur.
It is present in oxygen family.
It has six valance electrons.
Its atomic number is 16.
Its atomic weight is 32 amu.
The electronic configuration of sulfur is given below,
S₁₆ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴
We can see the valance shell is third shell and it have six electrons thus sulfur have six valance electrons. (3s² 3p⁴ )
Sulfur is used in vulcanisation process.
It is used in bleach and also as a preservative for many food.
it is used to making gun powder.
For changing potential energy; When you drop a book, gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy. Your car transforms the chemical potential energy stored in gasoline into the kinetic energy of the car's motion.
For Kinetic Energy; kinetic energy can be converted into electrical energy by a generator or into thermal energy by the brakes on a car.
To be able to write correctly the equilibrium expression of a reaction, we need to know the balanced reaction and the phases of the substances in the reaction. When substances are solid, pure liquid they are not included in the expression. We do as follows:
<span>4KO2(s) + 2H2O(g) = 4KOH(s) + 3O2(g)
K = [O2]^3 / [H2O]^2</span>
Answer:
atoms tend to react in order to gain 8 valence electrons
Explanation:
The octet rule describes the tendency of atoms of elements to react in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell. This is because having eight valence electrons confers stability to the atoms of these elements in the compounds they form.
The octet rule only does not apply to the transition elements or the inner transition elements as only the s and p electrons are involved. the electronic configuration in atoms having an octet is s²p⁶.
For example, sodium atom has one valence electron in its valence shell but a complete octet in the inner shell; it will react with chlorine atom which has seven valence electrons to form a stable compound, sodium chloride by donating its one valence electron in order to have an octet. Similarly, the chlorine atom will then have an octet by accepting the one electron from sodium atom.
