An atom of element X has one more shell of electrons than an atom of beryllium, but it has one less valance electron than beryll

ium. Which element is X
Chemistry

irakobra [83]3 years ago

The atomic number of Be is 4, and so it has 2 shells. There are valence electrons in the second, which is the outermost, shell of Be. To get the element with one more shell, there would be 3 shells on the new element, and 1 less valence electron, so the new element should have 1 valence electron. Sodium is the element with 3 shells, and one valence electron which fits perfectly into the description.

Predict the shape of the molecule.
balandron [24]

Answer:

B.) trigonal bipyramidal

Explanation:

A.) is incorrect. In octahedral molecules, the central atom is bonded to six other atoms.

B.) is correct. In trigonal bipyramidal structures, the central atom is bonded to five other atoms.

C.) is incorrect. In tetrahedral molecules, the central atom is bonded to four other atoms.

D.) is incorrect. There is not such thing as a pyramidal molecular shape. This term is most likely referring to the shape, trigonal pyramidal. However, this is still incorrect. In trigonal pyramidal molecules, the central atom is bonded to three other atoms and a lone pair of electrons.

What is the intensity in W/m2 of a laser beam used to burn away cancerous tissue that, when 91.0% absorbed, puts 540 J of energy
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

2.3x10⁷ W/m²

Explanation:

The intensity (I) of a laser is its potency (P) divided by the area (A) that it is affected. The potency is the energy applied (or absorbed) in a period, thus id 91.0% of the energy is absorbed, so:

E = 0.91*540 = 491.4 J

And,

P = E/t, where t is the time in seconds

P = 491.4/4.00

P = 122.85 J/s

P = 122.85 W

The are of a circular spot is:

A = (π/4)*d²

Where d is the diameter. Thus, with d = 2.60 mm = 0.0026 m

A = (π/4)*(0.0026)²

A = 5.31x10⁻⁶ m²

I = P/A

I = 122.85/5.31x10⁻⁶

I = 2.3x10⁷ W/m²

What is meant by the term neutralization?
Nadusha1986 [10]

In chemistry, neutralization is a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other. In a reaction in water, neutralization results in there being no excess of hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution.

  • New substances called SALTS and water are formed in neutralization reactions.
  • For example, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solution react together to form water and sodium chloride solution. The H+ ions and OH– ions produce the water, and the Na+ ions and Cl– ions produce the sodium chloride, NaCl(aq).
