Answer:

1. The energy difference between core electrons and valence electrons is different since it would require high amount of energy to lose electron from the core shell compared to the valence shell.

2. The electrostatic attraction between the varies. The closer the electron is to the core (nucleus) the more it experiences a strong nuclear force which in turn weakens the valence electron. During the process, the core electrons shield the valence electrons from exposure to nuclear force and hence easily lost during chemical reactions.

3. Core electrons only participate during nuclear reactions while valence electrons are responsible for chemical reactions through exchange of electrons between atoms.

The energy of the valence electrons is greater than the energy of the core electrons

Why is stoichiometry is used in cooking?

labwork [276]

Answer:

Explanation:

stoichiometry is used in cooking because it helps you determine the amount or proportion of compounds you will need in a chemical reaction. Stoichiometry is present in daily life, even in the cooking recipes we make at home. The reactions depend on the compounds involved and how much of each compound is needed to determine the product that will result.

What happened to the limewater in<br> the experiment? What does this<br> prove?

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Explanation:

In the reaction above, we clearly see that a chemical reaction took place but what kind of reaction you might ask?

Looks like it is Thermal decomposition of copper carbonate because decomposition reaction takes place due to the added heat. Decomposition in simple terms in chemical breakdown and here this result is obtained by adding heat.

1) What happened to the lime water?

Although not pictured above, but my assumption is that lime water turned milky or turbid because when CO2 comes in presence of limewater they react to form a percipitate of Calcium carbonate which is the milky color that you get.

2) What does this prove?

- My understanding would be that it proves that CO2 was formed, and that most metal carbonates undergo thermal decomposition into metal oxide and carbon dioxide, and also that a reaction took place since new products were made.
