Answer:

bonding capacity is based on the oxidation number. the pattern throughout families 1-2 and 13-18 is 12343210. depending on wether the elements in a family lose or gain 1-4 valence electrons is what determines the bonding capacity. for example, the elements in family one, or the Alkali family elements, lose one valence electron to become stable. this means the next outer shell has 8 valence electrons and is therefore stable. family two elements lose 2 valence electrons in order to have 8 on the outer shell. family thirteen elements lose 3 valence electrons. family fourteen can either lose or gain their four valence electrons as long as they end up with an outer shell with 8 valence electrons. family fifteen gains 3 valence electrons, 16 gains two, and 17 gains 1. family 18 doesn't lose or gain any since it is already stable. if an element loses valence electrons its oxidation number will be a positive 1,2,3, or 4. if an element gains valence electrons its oxication number will be a negative 1,2,3, or 4. the pattern of oxidation numbers is the same as the bonding capacity and it is +1,+2,+3,+4/-4,-3,-2,-1 or 0. basically if you can find the oxidation number then you can find the bonding capacity

Why do real gases not behave exactly like ideal gases?

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Real gas particles have significant volume

Real gas particles have more complex interactions than ideal gas particles.

Explanation:

An ideal gas is an imaginary concept and a gas behaves almost ideally at certain pressure and temperature conditions.

The gas in real deviates from the ideal behavior as some of the assumptions made for ideal gases are not true in case of real gases.

Real gas particles have significant volume as compared to vessel unlike ideal gases.

There are interactions present in between real gas molecules at high pressure conditions.

If the human body contains about 50 deciliters of blood, and the blood has about 15 grams of hemoglobin per deciliter, and all o

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The blood will contain 750 grams of O2

Explanation:

Volume of blood in the human body = 15 deciliters

Mass of hemoglobin per deciliter of blood = 15 grams

Mass of hemoglobin in 50 deciliters of blood = 50×15 = 750 grams

Since all the hemoglobin molecules are saturated with O2, mass of O2 in the blood will be the same as mass of hemoglobin molecules in the blood.

Therefore, mass of O2 in the blood is 750 grams

you are given a solution of lead nitrate. use any of the solution used in this experiment to form a white precipitate of lead ch

Vesnalui [34]

We have as a reagent a salt, lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2), and an unknown solution that gives us as a product lead chloride (PbCl2). That is, the solution must contain chlorine.

If a chlorine solution is used we will have the following reaction:

$Pb(NO_{3)2}+2Cl^-\rightarrow PbCl_2+2NO^-_3$

So, with a chlorine solution, we will have a white precipitate of lead chloride.
