In covalent bonds, non-metals share electrons to attain full valence shells.

This non-metal usually forms 2 covalent bonds. This leads me to believe that it has 6 valence electrons to begin with and will take 2 more, one from each bonds. Such that it ends with a full valence shell of 8 electrons.

. Metallic iron has a body-centered cubic lattice with all atoms at lattice points and a unit cell whose edge length is 286.6 pm

adell [148]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{55.8 u}}$

Explanation:

1. Calculate the volume of the unit cell

V = l³ = (2.866 × 10⁻⁸ cm)³ = 2.354 × 10⁻²³ cm³

2. Calculate the mass of a unit cell

$\text{Mass} = 2.866 \times 10^{-23}\text{ cm}^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{7.87 g}}{\text{1 cm}^{3}} = 1.853 \times 10^{-22} \text{ g}$

3. Calculate the mass of one atom

A body-centred unit cell contains two atoms.

$\text{Mass of 1 atom} = \dfrac{1.853 \times 10^{-22} \text{ g}}{\text{2 atoms}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 u}}{1.661 \times 10^{-24}\text{ g}} = \textbf{55.8 u}\\\\\text{The molar mass of Fe from the Periodic Table is $\large \boxed{\textbf{55.845 g/mol}}$}$

Describe the structure of our galaxy, including its spiral arms.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Most spiral galaxies consist of a flat, rotating disk containing stars, gas and dust, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge. ... The spiral arms are sites of ongoing star formation and are brighter than the surrounding disc because of the young, hot OB stars that inhabit them.

The Mr is the mass numbers of each element added up so…. Fe = 56, O=16, H=1 … now add these up with the number of each element -> there’s 1 Fe, and 3 Os and 3 Hs as they are in brackets with a 3 outside-> (56+16+16+16+1+1+1=107) … your answer is 107
