Answer:

An atom containing 11 electrons

Explanation:

Metal atoms form ions by a loss of electrons whereas non-metal atoms form ions by the gain of electrons.

The group 1 elements or alkali metals form lose their one valence shell electrons when forming ions; Group 2 metals lose two while Group 3 lose three. On the other hand, non-metal atoms found in Group 5, 6, and 7 forms ions by gaining one, two and three electrons respectively.

Using the electronic configuration of atoms, their groups in the Periodic Table can be determined.

An atom containing 6 electrons has the configuration 2,4 and thus belongs to Group 4.

An atom with 2 electrons belongs to Group 2

An atom with 11 electrons has the configuration 2,8,1 and thus belongs to Group 1

An atom with 10 electrons has the configuration 2,8 and thus belongs to Group 8

An atom with 8 electrons has the configuration 2,6 and thus belongs to Group 6.

From the above, it can be seen that an atom containing 11 electrons belongs to Group 1 and will lose an electron to form an ion.

The molar mass of hydrogen molecules is 2g/mol and the molar mass of oxygen molecules is 32g/mol. What is the ratio of the avera
Alona [7]

Answer:

1

Explanation:

For an ideal gas, the average kinetic energy is given by:

Ek = (3/2)*n*R*T

Where n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant (8.31 J/mol*K), and T the temperature. The gases have the same number of moles, and the same temperature, so they will have the same average kinetic energy:

Ek = (3/2)*1*8.31*300

Ek =3739.5 J

So, the ratio between then is 1.
