Which statement describes how an atom in the ground state becomes excited

Chemistry

Marysya12 [62]3 years ago
4 0
The ground<span> state of an electron, the energy level it normally occupies, is the state of lowest energy for that electron. ... An electron </span>can become excited<span> if it is given extra energy, such as if it absorbs a photon, or packet of light, or collides with a nearby </span>atom<span> or particle. (I do not take credit for that answer)</span>

Which element can expand its valence shell to accommodate more than eight electrons? which element can expand its valence shell
Anvisha [2.4K]
<span>According to octet rule,  atoms with an atomic number less than 20 tend to combine  with other atom such that both of these atoms have eight electrons in their valence shells, which gives them the same electronic configuration as that of noble gas.

However, there are few compound that donot obey octel rule. Among the elements mentioned above i.e. oxygen and helium obeys octet rule.

In case of nitrogen, oxide of nitrogen (like NO and NO2) have incomplete octet. 

While there are few compounds of Br wherein Br has expanded octet. For example, in BrF5, Br has 12 electrons in valence shell. </span>

Identify the species oxidized, the species reduced, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the following electron transfe
Vesna [10]

Answer:

In the given chemical reaction:

Species Oxidized: I⁻

Species Reduced: Fe³⁺

Oxidizing agent: Fe³⁺

Reducing agent: I⁻

As the reaction proceeds, electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺

Explanation:

Redox reaction is a chemical reaction involving the simultaneous movement of electrons thereby causing oxidation of one species and reduction of the other species.

The chemical species that <u><em>gets reduced by gaining electrons </em></u><u>is called an </u><u><em>oxidizing agent</em></u>. Whereas, the chemical species that <u><em>gets oxidized by losing electrons </em></u><u>is called a </u><u><em>reducing agent</em></u><u>.</u>

Given redox reaction: 2Fe³⁺ + 2I⁻ → 2Fe²⁺ + I₂

<u>Oxidation half-reaction</u>: 2 I⁻ +  → I₂ + 2 e⁻                 ....(1)

<u>Reduction half-reaction</u>: [ Fe³⁺ + 1 e⁻ → Fe²⁺ ] × 2

                                   ⇒  2 Fe³⁺ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Fe²⁺       ....(2)

In the given redox reaction, <u>Fe³⁺ (oxidation state +3) accepts electrons and gets reduced to Fe²⁺ (oxidation state +2) and I⁻ (oxidation state -1) loses electrons and gets oxidized to I₂ (oxidation state 0).</u>

<u>Therefore, Fe³⁺ is the oxidizing agent and I⁻ is the reducing agent and the electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺.</u>

How many formula units of CaO are in 32.7 g of CaO?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

3.51× 10²³ formula units

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CaO = 32.7 g

Number of formula units = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of moles.

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 32.7 g/ 56.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.583 mol

Number of formula units:

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ formula units

0.583 mol ×  6.022 × 10²³ formula units / 1 mol

3.51× 10²³ formula units

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

A bike lost 20% of its value after the first year, its value after the first year is $1039. Calculate the original price of the
musickatia [10]

Answer:

$1246.90

Explanation:

Since the bike lost 20%% of it's value and it now currently at $$1039, we have to do 20% * $1039 to find the amount of money lost. 20%*1039=207.8. We have to add it up to find the original value so 1039+207.8=$1246.8
