The p subshell can hold up to eight electrons in an atom (2 points) True or false?

Chemistry

Answer: The statement is false

Explanation:

Electrons occupy a region in atoms known as orbitals or subs hell.  These orbitals include

I) S-orbital: it can occupy a maximum of two electrons

II) P-orbital: It occupies a maximum of six electrons

III) D-orbital: it occupies a maximum of ten electrons

F and G-orbitals as examples of other orbitals present.

A good illustration of the 6 electrons occupied by the P-subshell is seen in Sodium (Na) with atomic number of 11

Na = 1s2, 2S2 2p6, 3s1

Note: extra electrons are transferred to the next orbital

What is the net ionic equation for KCl+NaI= KI+NaCl
irinina [24]
K^+ + I^- -> KI (s)
Because kcl, NaCl & naI are aq so they're split apart & KI is a solid so it stays together, then you just cross out the similar ions.

What is the coordination number for each of the following complexes or compounds?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

a. 4, b. 6, c. 4, d. 2

Explanation:

The coordination number (CN) of a complex of a compound is the number of bonds that a metallic ion does with the binders, which can be equal or not.

a. The metallic ion is the iron (Fe), and it's bonded to 2 gly and 2 H2O, thus, CN = 4.

b. EDTA is a hexadentate molecule, thus, it forms 6 bonds with the metal Cr, and CN = 6.

c. The metal is Pt, which has 4 bonds with NH3, thus CN = 4.

d. The metal is Ag, which forms 2 bonds with NH3. NO3 is bonded with the structure and not with the metal. Thus, CN = 2.

The following reaction does not proceed to a product: H20 + Ag → no reaction. Why
MrRa [10]

b. .Silver has a lower activity than hydrogen and cannot replace it

Explanation:

The reaction between silver and water cannot proceed because Ag has a lower activity than hydrogen in water.

                     H₂O + Ag → no reaction

  • This reaction is referred to as as single displacement reaction.
  • In this kind of reaction, one specie replaces another.
  • The replacement of a metallic ion in solution by a metal atom higher in the activity series is the driving force for this reaction.
  • Hydrogen is higher than silver and the activity series and will not be displaced by it.
  • Therefore, no reaction will occur.
