How many valence electrons are in an atom of gold?

1 answer:

3 0

Chemical reactivity of all of the different elements in the periodic table depends on the number of electrons in that last, outermost level, called the valence level or valence shell. In the case of gold, there is only one valence electron in its valence level. Hope I helped! :)

What does each component of the punnet square represent

Mamont248 [21]

By convention maternal alleles are represented in first row and paternal alleles in first column (leaving the first square empty), thus each square shows the genotype of the progeny formed as the result of cross between corresponding alleles

The octet rule states that atoms will gain, lose, or share valence electrons to get a full outer shell (orbital). Explain in you

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

In covalent bonding, the octet rule is important because sharing electrons gives both atoms a full valence shell. As a result, each atom can consider the shared electrons to be part of its own valence shell.

Solution of the Schrödinger wave equation for the hydrogen atom results in a set of functions (orbitals) that describe the behav

kvv77 [185]

Answer :

'n' specifies → (B) The energy and average distance from the nucleus.

'l' specifies → (C) The subshell orbital shape.

'ml' specifies → (A) The orbital orientation.

Explanation :

Principle Quantum Numbers : It describes the size of the orbital. It is represented by n. n = 1,2,3,4....

Azimuthal Quantum Number : It describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...

Magnetic Quantum Number : It describes the orientation of the orbitals. It is represented as $m_l$ . The value of this quantum number ranges from $(-l\text{ to }+l)$ . When l = 2, the value of

Spin Quantum number : It describes the direction of electron spin. This is represented as $m_s$ . The value of this is $+\frac{1}{2}$ for upward spin and $-\frac{1}{2}$ for downward spin.

As per question we conclude that,

'n' specifies → The energy and average distance from the nucleus.

'l' specifies → The subshell orbital shape.

'ml' specifies → The orbital orientation.

Why is current more dangerous than voltage?

Serga [27]

The higher the current, the more likely it is lethal. Since current is proportional to voltage when resistance is fixed (ohm's law), high voltage is an indirect risk for producing higher currents.
