The answer is 3). This is because elements are the simplest form of a substance, and cannot be broken down any further. Compounds on the other hand are much more complex than elements and can be broken down INTO elements. For example, Na, sodium, is an element and cannot be broken down further. H2O, water, is a compound and can be broken down into Hydrogen and Oxygen.

An ionic bond can be formed when one or more electrons are
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Are transferred completely from the valence shell of an element to the other

Explanation:

Basically, to form a chemical bond, you either transfer or you share. When you share, it is a case of covalent bonding which can be in several other forms. When there is a transfer, it is a case of ionic bonding.

The basic explanation for this is that while some atoms are electronically sufficient, some are electronically deficient. This means while some atoms are having an excess number of electrons, then some are having less number of electrons.

To satisfy both parties, there must be a transfer if electrons between the two parties. While the one with the excess numbers serves as the donor, the one with insufficient number of electrons serve as the acceptor

calculate how many milliliters of 0.142 M NaOH are needed to completely neutralize 21.4 mL of 0.294 M H2C4H4O6.
Flura [38]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 88.7 ml

Explanation:

Data

Volume = ?

Concentration of NaOH = 0.142 M

Volume of H₂C₄H₄O₆ = 21.4 ml

Concentration of H₂C₄H₄O₆ = 0.294 M

Balanced chemical reaction

               2 NaOH + H₂C₄H₄O₆  ⇒  Na₂C₄H₄O₆  +  2H₂O

1.- Calculate the moles of H₂C₄H₄O₆

Molarity = moles/volume

Solve for moles

moles = Molarity x volume

Substitution

moles = 0.294 x 21.4/1000

Result

moles = 0.0063

2.- Use proportions to calculate the moles of NaOH

              2 moles of NaOH ------------------ 1 moles of H₂C₄H₄O₆

               x                           ------------------ 0.0063 moles

               x = (0.0063 x 2) / 1

               x = 0.0126 moles of NaOH

3.- Calculate the volume  of NaOH

Molarity = moles / volume

Solve for volume

Volume = moles/Molarity

Substitution

Volume = 0.0126/0.142

Result

Volume = 0.088 L or 88.7 ml

List a possible set of four quantum numbers (n,l,ml,ms) in order, for the highest energy electron in gallium?
Elena-2011 [213]
Gallum: Z = 31

electron configuration: [Ar] 4s^2 3d10 4s2 4p1

Highest energy electron: 4p1

Quantum numbers:

n = 4, because it is the shell number
l = 1, it corresponds to type p orbital 
ml = may be -1, or 0, or +1, depending on space orientation, they correspond to px, py, pz
ms = may be -1/2 or +1/2, this is the spin number.
