In ions atoms lose and gain electrons
Answer:
a. +2
b. +3
c. -1
Explanation:
The typical oxidation states can be determined from the periodic table based on the number of valence electrons an atom has.
a. Calcium belongs to group 2A, meaning it has 2 valence electrons and, therefore, would have an oxidation state of +2 in compounds.
b. Aluminum is in group 3A, meaning it has 3 valence electrons and would have an oxidation state of +3 in compounds when the 3 electrons are lost.
c. Fluorine would become fluorine if it gained 1 additional electron to achieve an octet, so its oxidation state would be -1.
<span>The mass of one mole of sodium bicarbonate (aka NaHCO3) is equal to 1 * 22.99g/mol + 1 * 1.00g/mol + 1 * 12.01g/mol + 3 * 16.00g/mol = 83.91g/mol. From this, we can convert 4.2g of NaHCO3 to moles by dividing by 83.91g/mol, to get 0.050 moles of sodium bicarbonate.</span>
<em>Answer:</em>
- The atom have a full valence electron shell.
<em>Explanation:</em>
- My question is that why covalent bonds take place?
Every atoms tends to from bond with another atoms in order to get nearest electronic configuration of nobel gases. They become stable when their valence shell become complete. So when covelant bond forms between atoms, share electrons to each other and stabilize themselves.
Potassium is placed where it is based on its properties and it's reactivity. It's also placed there based on it's atomic number.
