.42; 3.4 divided by 8.1 is about .42
The statement which is true is
metals lose electrons to become cations
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
- metals tends to loss electrons to attain noble gas electrons configuration.
- When metal loses electrons they form a positive charged ions.
- The positively charged ion is known as cations.
- for example sodium metal (Na) loses 1 electron to form a cation with a charge of positive 1 ( Na^+)
<span>Each atom in an ionic compound tends either to empty or complete the shell to 8 electrons. So when the number of electrons on the external shell is near 8 , the atom tends to attract electrons to complete the shell giving a positive ion called anion
Conversely when the number of electrons is small the atom gives these electrons to form a positive ion called a cation</span>
Answer:
seven electrons
Explanation:
Chlorine is present in group seventeen of periodic table. It is halogen element. All halogens have seven electrons in outer most valance shell.
The require only one electron to gain the stable electronic configuration or to complete the octet.
Electronic configuration of chlorine:
Cl₁₇ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
Abbreviated electronic configuration:
Cl₁₇ = [Ne] 3s² 3p⁵
Properties of chlorine:
1. it is greenish-yellow irritating gas.
2. its melting point is 172.2 K
3. its boiling point is 238.6 K
4. it is disinfectant and can kill the bacteria.
5. it is also used in manufacturing of paper, paints and textile industries.
Answer:
8
Explanation:
1 mole = 6.02 × 10²³ atoms
? moles = 4.816 × 10²⁴ atoms.
? Moles = 4.816 × 10²⁴ ÷ 6.02 × 10²³
? Moles = 8 moles
8 moles of aluminum = 4.816 × 10²⁴
