Answer:

See detailed answer with explanation below.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are electrons found on the outermost shell of an atom. They are the electrons in an atom that participate in chemical combination. Recall that the outermost shell of an atom is also referred to as its valence shell. Let us consider an example; if we look at the atom, sodium-11, its electronic configuration is 2,8,1. The last one electron is the valence electron of sodium which is found in its outermost or valence shell.

Positive ions are formed when electrons are lost from the valence shell of an atom. For instance, if the outermost electron in sodium is lost, we now form the sodium ion Na^+ which is a positive ion. Positive ions possess less number of electrons compared to their corresponding atoms.

Negative ions are formed when one or more electrons is added to the valence shell of an atom. A negative ion possesses more electrons than its corresponding atom. For example, chlorine(Cl) contains 17 electrons but the chloride ion (Cl^-) contains 18 electrons.

In molecular compounds, a bond is formed when two electrons are shared between the bonding atoms. Each bonding atom may contribute one of the shared electrons (ordinary covalent bond) or one of the bonding atoms may provide the both shared electrons (coordinate covalent bond). The shared pair may be located at an equidistant position to the nucleus of both atoms. Similarly, the electron may be drawn closer to the nucleus of one atom than the other (polar covalent bond) depending on the electro negativity of the two bonding atoms.

The electrons are shared in order to complete the octet of each atom by so doing, the both bonding atoms now obey the octet rule. For example, two chlorine atoms may come together to form a covalent bond in which each chlorine atom has an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.

70 POINTS What type of organic compound contains the following functional group?
andrew-mc [135]

The compound contains an ester functional group.

An ester is a carbonyl (C=O) group with an alkyl (R) group on one side and an alkoxy (OR) group on the other.

We write the <em>condensed structural formula</em> of an ester as R(C=O)OR or RCOOR.

Which of the following statements are true? Significant figures in a measurement are all measured digits, and one estimated digi
Georgia [21]

Answer: Significant figures in a measurement are all measured digits, and one estimated digit

Significant figures communicate the level of precision in measurements Significant figures are an indicator of the certainty in measurements.

Explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value or the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy or precision is known as significant digits.

The significant figures of a measured quantity are defined as all the digits known with certainty and the first uncertain or estimated digit.

Rules for significant figures:

1. Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.

2. All non-zero numbers are always significant.

3. All zero’s between integers are always significant.

4. All zero’s preceding the first integers are never significant.

5. All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant.
