How many vance electrons does neon need to be stable

Chemistry
1 answer:
Aneli [31]3 years ago
8 0
An element is stable when it has a full outershell.
Generally, most shells after the first can hold 8 electrons.
The first shell can only hold 2

So in order for neon to be stable it must have a full outer shell
The first shell can hold 2
Neon has 10 electrons
10-2=8
The second shell can hold 8
And neon has 8 electrons left

So it must have 8 valence electrons to be stable

Select all the true statements regarding chemical equilibrium.
gladu [14]
Chemical equilibrium is reach when the concentrations of the product and reactants will no longer change with time. this does not mean that there is no change in concentration, only the net change is zero. the forward rate of reaction is now equal to backward rate of reaction.

Suppose a 250. mL flask is filled with 0.30 mol of N_2 and 0.70 mol of NO. The following reaction becomes possible:N_2(g) +O2 →
Inessa [10]

Answer:

0.4 M

Explanation:

Equilibrium occurs when the velocity of the formation of the products is equal to the velocity of the formation of the reactants. It can be described by the equilibrium constant, which is the multiplication of the concentration of the products elevated by their coefficients divided by the multiplication of the concentration of the reactants elevated by their coefficients. So, let's do an equilibrium chart for the reaction.

Because there's no O₂ in the beginning, the NO will decompose:

N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2NO(g)

0.30 0 0.70 Initial

+x +x -2x Reacts (the stoichiometry is 1:1:2)

0.30+x x 0.70-2x Equilibrium

The equilibrium concentrations are the number of moles divided by the volume (0.250 L):

[N₂] = (0.30 + x)/0.250

[O₂] = x/0.25

[NO] = (0.70 - 2x)/0.250

K = [NO]²/([N₂]*[O₂])

K = \frac{(\frac{0.70 -2x}{0.250})^2 }{\frac{0.30+x}{0.250}*\frac{x}{0.250} }

7.70 = (0.70-2x)²/[(0.30+x)*x]

7.70 = (0.49 - 2.80x + 4x²)/(0.30x + x²)

4x² - 2.80x + 0.49 = 2.31x + 7.70x²

3.7x² + 5.11x - 0.49 = 0

Solving in a graphical calculator (or by Bhaskara's equation), x>0 and x<0.70

x = 0.09 mol

Thus,

[O₂] = 0.09/0.250 = 0.36 M ≅ 0.4 M

Which formula correctly represents antinomy trichloride?<br> SnS2<br> SnCl3<br> SbCl2<br> SbCl3
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

SbcI3

Explanation:

The symbol of antimony is 'Sb'.

The symbol of chlorine is 'Cl'

First write down the symbol of the first element.

Use the prefix to determine the atoms of first element. If there is no prefix on element then there is only 1 atom.

Now write down the symbol of the second element.

Use the prefix to determine the atoms of second element.

Use prefix as 'mono' for '1', 'di' for '2', 'tri' for '3' and so on.

Complete combustion of 8.10 g of a hydrocarbon produced 25.9 g of CO2 and 9.27 g of H2O. What is the empirical formula for the h
balu736 [363]

CxHy     +  O2    -->    x CO2     +    y/2  H2O

 

Find the moles of CO2 :     18.9g  /  44 g/mol   =    .430 mol CO2   = .430 mol of C in compound

Find the moles of H2O:      5.79g / 18 g/mol     =     .322 mol H2O   = .166 mol of H in compound

 

Find the mass of C and H in the compound:

                             .430mol  x 12  =  5.16 g C

                              .166mol  x 1g   = .166g H   

 

When you add these up they indicate a mass of 5.33 g for the compound, not 5.80g as you stated in the problem.

Therefore it is likely that either the mass of the CO2 or the mass of H20 produced is incorrect (most likely a typo).

In any event, to find the formula, you would take the moles of C and H and convert to a whole number ratio (this is usually done by dividing both of them by the smaller value).
