Because the alkali metals are the group 1 metals, they have only 1 valence electron that they want to lose, and the halogens are the group 17 nonmetals, they want to gain 1 valence electron to become stable.

Use Lewis theory to determine the chemical formula for the compound formed between Sr and N.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Sr_3N_2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the Lewis theory is based on the bonds formation between atoms via the valence electrons, we can verify the chemical formula of the compound formed by strontium and nitrogen by noticing that strontium has two valence electrons as it is in group IIA, for that reason, two nitrogens should be available for bonding. Therefore, since nitrogen is in group VA, it is said that three electrons are required to attain the octet (maximum amount bonded electrons), for that reason, three strontiums are should be available for bonding. In such a way, the formula should be:

Sr_3N_2

Regards.

A chamber with a fixed volume is shown above. The temperature of the gas inside the chamber before heating is 25.2 C and it’s pr
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial temperature T₁  = 25.2°C  = 25.2 + 273  = 298.2K

Initial pressure  = P₁  = 0.6atm

Final temperature = 72.4°C   = 72.4 + 273  = 345.4K

Unknown:

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use an adaption of the combined gas law where the volume gas is fixed. This simplification results into:

                  \frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} }   = \frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }

where P and T are temperatures, 1 and 2 are initial and final temperatures.

 Input the parameters and solve;

          \frac{0.6}{298.2}   = \frac{P_{2} }{345.4}  

          P₂   = 0.7atm

What general rule can be followed when choosing a type of solvent to dissolve a particular solid?
Fittoniya [83]
 <span>the polarity of the solute or the solvent. 

for example: 
oil will not mix with water because oil molecules are nonpolar however water moleculses are polar. so, they will not mix with each other. 

when we put sodium chloride in water, sodium chloride will be easily dissoved. because both sodium chloride and water are polar. 

in other case, if we put sodium chloride and hexane together. sodium chloride will not dissove in hexane, because hexane is a nonpolar solvent. 

finally, if we try to mix hexane and bromine together, they will mix uniformly. because both hexane and bromine are nonpolar. (note: most diatomic molecules are nonpolar, such as hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, chlorine gas, etc. ) 

so just remember, nonpolar and nonpolar will dissovle each other. and polar and polar will dissolve each other.</span>
