A non-metal usually forms 2 covalent bonds in its compounds.How many electrons will it take in its valence shell?

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.

A student observes the chemical process described by this equation:
choli [55]

Answer:

Both are equal

Explanation:

Mass of starting material i.e Aluminium is 4.480 * 10^{-23} grams

The weight of oxygen is 2.65 * 10^{-23}

There are 4 atoms of aluminium and 3 atoms of oxygen

Thus, the total mass of starting material is

4 * mass of one atom of aluminium + 6 * mass of one atom of oxygen

4 * 4.480 * 10^{-23} +  6* 2.65 * 10^{-23}

35.1 * 10^{-23} grams

Mass of new substance is also equal to

4 * mass of one atom of aluminium + 6 * mass of one atom of oxygen

4 * 4.480 * 10^{-23} +  6* 2.65 * 10^{-23}

35.1 * 10^{-23} grams

Which of the following molecules or ions is polar? (20 POINTS)
inessss [21]

Answer:

All of these three are polar molecules or ions

Explanation:

1) CO3 ^2-

It is a polar ion because it consists of one Oxygen atom and three carbon atoms so there is a substantial electroegativity difference between carbon and Oxygen due to which shared electrons are attracted more towards Oxygen creating partial negative charge on it and less towards carbon creating a partial positive charge on it, which makes the overall ion polar.

2) HCN

HCN is a polar molecule because there is substantial electronegativity difference between Carbon and Hydrogen as well as between Carbon and Nitrogen. Due to this negative charge is induced over Nitrogen because electronegativity of Nitrogen is 3.0 and positive charge on Carbon because its electronegativity is 2.5. The overall molecule is polar.

3) NO3^-1

Nitrate ion is also a polar molecule because there are three atoms of Oxygen and one atom of Nitrogen. There is substantial electronegativity difference between oxygen (3.44) and nitrogen (3.0) due to which partial positive charge is created on Nitrogen and partial negative charge created over three Oxygen atoms. The overall molecule is polar.

Hope it helps!

How many atoms of magnesium are in a 134 gram sample of magnesium?
ryzh [129]
No. of moles in 134g of Mg, n=134/24 =5.58 moles
No. of atoms = n* Avogadro number
                     = 5.58 X 6.022 X 10^23
                      =33.60 X 10^23 atoms
