The atoms that the electrons leave behind become positive ions, and the interaction between such ions and valence electrons gives rise to the cohesive or binding force that holds the metallic crystal together

In a piece of metal, you have positive and negative charges attracting each other, holding the metal together.
The positive charges come from the nuclei
The negative charges come from the delocalized electrons

Answer:

3-1-5-2-4

Explanation:

scientists believe that the solar system was formed when some star had its explosion and due to its explosion there were waves generated in the space thus squeezing clouds and dust eventually gravity pulling everything together forming solar nebula. the clouds spin faster and faster thus making it into a thin disk and also the cloud becoming hotter and dense thus forming stars.

If Carl buys a 946 ml bottle of rubbing alcohol, how much of the aqueous solution is water?

Darina [25.2K]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A bottle of rubbing alcohol having aqueous solution of alcohol contains 70% (v/v) alcohol. If Carl buys a 946 ml bottle of rubbing alcohol, how much of the aqueous solution is water?

Answer: The amount of water present in the given bottle of rubbing alcohol is 283.8 mL

Explanation:

We are given:

Volume of bottle of rubbing alcohol = 946 mL

70% (v/v) alcohol solution

This means that 70 mL of rubbing alcohol is present in 100 mL of solution

Amount of water present in solution = [100 - 70] = 30 mL

Applying unitary method:

In 100 mL of solution, the amount of water present is 30 mL

So, in 946 mL of solution, the amount of water present will be = $\frac{30}{100}\times 946=283.8mL$

Hence, the amount of water present in the given bottle of rubbing alcohol is 283.8 mL

Fill the three 3d subshells with the specified number of electrons.

lana66690 [7]

1. 5 electrons.

$3d^{5}$

Therefore, the 3d subshells blanks will be like this:
↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑

2. 6 electrons.

$3d^{6}$

The 3d subshells blanks will be:
↑↓ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑

3. 7 electrons.

$3d^{7}$

The 3d subshells blanks will be:
↑↓ ↑↓ ↑ ↑ ↑

Hope you could understand.

An aqueous solution contains 0.23 M potassium hypochlorite.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

0.22 mol HClO, 0.11mol HBr.

0.25mol NH₄Cl, 0.12 mol HCl

Explanation:

A buffer is defined as a mixture in solution between weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.

Potassium hypochlorite (KClO) could be seen as conjugate base of HClO (Weak acid). That means the addition of 0.22 mol HClO will convert the solution in a buffer. HBr reacts with KClO producing HClO, thus, 0.11mol HBr will, also, convert the solution in a buffer. 0.23 mol HBr will react completely with KClO and in the solution you will have only HClO, no a buffering system.

Ammonia (NH₃) is a weak base and its conjugate base is NH₄⁺. That means the addition of 0.25mol NH₄Cl will convert the solution in a buffer. Also, NH₃ reacts with HCl producing NH₄⁺. Thus, addition of 0.12 mol HCl will produce NH₄⁺. 0.25mol HCl consume all NH₃.
