How can you tell the number of covalent bonds an element can form?

The number of bonds for a neutral atom is equal to the number of electrons in the full valence shell (2 or 8 electrons) minus the number of valence electrons. This method works because each covalent bond that an atom forms adds another electron to an atoms valence shell without changing its charge.

Covalent bonds formed when two atoms share an electron, as opposed to an Ionic bond where one atom takes an electron(or two) from another atom.

It takes 495.0 kJ of energy to remove 1 mole of electron from an atom on the surface of sodium metal. How much energy does it ta

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

$\lambda=241.9\ nm$

Explanation:

The work function of the sodium= 495.0 kJ/mol

It means that

1 mole of electrons can be removed by applying of 495.0 kJ of energy.

Also,

1 mole = $6.023\times 10^{23}\ electrons$

So,

$6.023\times 10^{23}$ electrons can be removed by applying of 495.0 kJ of energy.

1 electron can be removed by applying of $\frac {495.0}{6.023\times 10^{23}}\ kJ$ of energy.

Energy required = $82.18\times 10^{-23}\ kJ$

Also,

1 kJ = 1000 J

So,

Energy required = $82.18\times 10^{-20}\ J$

Also, $E=\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}$

Where,

h is Plank's constant having value $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js$

c is the speed of light having value $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

So,

$79.78\times 10^{-20}=\frac {6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{82.18\times 10^{-20}}$

$\lambda=\frac{10^{-26}\times \:19.878}{10^{-20}\times \:82.18}$

$\lambda=\frac{19.878}{10^6\times \:82.18}$

$\lambda=2.4188\times 10^{-7}\ m$

Also,

1 m = 10⁻⁹ nm

So,

$\lambda=241.9\ nm$

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 20 grams of CaBr2<br> in 0.50 liter of solution?

ELEN [110]

Answer:

2 M

Explanation:

mole weight of CaBr2 = 40 + 2 * 79.9 = 199.8 gm

20 gm is then 20/199.8 =.1 mole

.1 mole / .50 liter = 2 M
