Answer:

Se + 2e- => Se-2

Explanation:

Ions are electrically charged particles, formed due to the gain or loss of electrons by an atom.

There are two types of ions cations and anions. An element that loses their electrons and forms positive ions are cations while metals and element that gains one or more electrons and forms negative ions are anions.

Selenium is an atom with atomic number 34 and represented as Se. The electronic configuration of Se is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p4. Selenium will gain 2 more electrons to complete it p orbital and form an ion Se-2.

The equation is as below:

Se + 2e- => Se-2

What is the volume (L) occupied by a mole of an ideal gas,

irina [24]

Answer:

29.2 L

Explanation:

Given data

Moles (n): 1 mol

Pressure (P): 0.824 atm

$626mmHg.\frac{1atm}{760 mmHg} =0.824atm$

Temperature (T): 293 K

We can find the volume of the gas (V) of the using the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

V = n × R × T / P

V = 1 mol × (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 293 K / 0.824 atm

V = 29.2 L

tankabanditka [31]

The Earth, Mars or Jupiter should be denser than the Sun. Density is defined by mass and volume — components of object or matter. Although the sun is huge, it’s component is made up of mostly gas (hydrogen and helium). While Earth, though smaller than the Sun, contains heavier elements such as iron, sulfur, rocks, sediments, granite, basalt and water. Mars (composed of rocks and nutrients) and Jupiter (contains gases and compounds) as well are denser when compared to the Sun’s density. Referencing to our basic understanding of matter: solid and liquid should be heavier than gas.
