3.4 X 10^-2 because you start your equation with 2.5g in your (what we call train tracks). Then you have to find the GFM (gram formula mass) of KCl (potassium chloride). You find this by adding the average atomic mass of each element. Potassium's is 39.10 and Chlorine's is 35.45 which gives you a total of 74.55 grams per mol. so now that you have found the GFM you plug that number into the diagonal bottom in order to cancel the gram units. Then you would place 1 mol KCl on top because that is the unit you want. Finally you will divide your original 2.5 by the GFM of 74.55 to get an answer of 0.033534 mol KCl... but since sig figs matter your final  answer will be 3.4 X 10^-2

Why are valence electrons important when considering the bonds that form between atoms g
salantis [7]

Answer:Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outer most (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability.

Write the symbolic notation of an isotope of an element having 8 protons, 8 electrons, and 11 neutrons. Click on the “Templates”
horrorfan [7]
Attached to this answer is the format of Isotope Notation that you can use for future reference. <em>(Please open)</em>

There are 8 Protons. The Atomic Number is the same number of an element's proton.

If you can see in the format, the mass number is calculated by adding the atomic number/protons and neutrons.

Mass number = 8 + 11
Mass number = 19

The image of the final answer is attached as well.

What is the 10% rule? What is its significance? Why is energy lost?
TEA [102]
The 10% rule means that approximately there will be only 10% energy transferred from a trophic level into another. That was because the consumer on the upper level will use the energy before it was consumed. About 90% of the energy used so only 10% remain will be transferred.
Example: an antler eating grass with a total 100 calories. Then the antler is moving and growing, using 90 calories. Then a lion eats the antler, but the energy remains is only 10 calorie because 90 calories are already used.

What does the octet rule state that explains why atoms bond
dezoksy [38]

The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects observation that atoms of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas. The rule is especially applicable to carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens, but also to metals such as sodium or magnesium.

The valence electrons can be counted using a Lewis electron dot diagram as shown at the right for carbon dioxide. The electrons shared by the two atoms in a covalent bond are counted twice, once for each atom. In carbon dioxide each oxygen shares four electrons with the central carbon, two (shown in red) from the oxygen itself and two (shown in black) from the carbon. All four of these electrons are counted in both the carbon octet and the oxygen octet.
