What is likely to occur if sulfur forms an ionic bond with another element is <u>sulfur will accept electrons</u>
<u><em> explanation</em></u>
- Ionic bond is formed when a metal react with a non metal.
- Metal loses ( donate) electrons to form cation ( a positively charged ion) , while non metal accept (gain) electrons to form anion ( a negatively charged ion ).
- Sulfur is a non metal therefore it accept electrons if it form an ionic bond with a metal. sulfur accept 2 electrons to form S2- ion
Answer:
The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity
Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago
Explanation:
All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.
Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)
For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1
Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.
Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.
For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.
According to the law of conservation of mass, the amount of BARIUM present of the reactants is the same as the amount present in the products (the precipitate).
(11.21 g BaSO4) / (233.4 g/mol BaSO4) = 0.0480 mol BaSO4 and original barium salt
(10.0 g) / (0.0480 mol) = 208.3 g/mol
So it must have been BaCl2, because the molar mass of Barium is 137 which leave 71 grams left. Since Barium is a +2 charge, it means the atom next to it must be twice. Chlorine mass is 35, which twice is 71
Answer: 6.02214076 atoms Ca
Explanation:
Ca is monoatomic, so atoms in 1 mol = avogadro number
Cover with metal .Any elements other than hydrozen and helium concentration shows an absorbance
