<span>Helium has two valence electrons.</span>
Alik [6]3 years ago

Valency, the combining capacity of an element, is equal to the number of electrons needed, or required to be removed from the outermost shell of the atom of that element, to have a complete 'octet'. The helium atom has only the 1s orbital in its only shell, and it is completely filled with 2 electrons. Its electronic configuration is 1s2.<span>Therefore, helium and the other inert gases with complete octets normally do not take part in chemical reactions. They are considered as zero-valent elements.</span>

A car with a mass of 1.1 × 103 kilograms hits a stationary truck with a mass of 2.3 × 103 kilograms from the rear end. The initi
d1i1m1o1n [39]
The answer is C : 15.7 m/s
Use the idea of : momentum before collision = momentum after collision

Before collision;
For car:mass=1.1×10^3, velocity=22
For truck:mass=2.3×10^3, velocity=0
After collision;
For car:mass=2.3×10^3, velocity=-11
For truck:mass=2.3×10^3, velocity=V
(1.1×10^3 × 22) + (2.3×10^3 × 0) = (1.1×10^3 × -11) + (2.3×10^3 × V)
24200 = -12100 + 2.3×10^3V
2.3×10^3V = 36300
V = 15.7 m/s

if the percent by volume is 2% and the volume of solution is 250 mL what is the volume of solute and solution
Liula [17]

Answer:

Solute = 5 mL; solution = 250 mL  

Explanation:

The formula for percent by volume is

\text{Percent by volume} = \dfrac{\text{Volume of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution}}\times 100 \, \%

If you have 250 mL of a solution that is 2 % v/v,

\begin{array}{rcl}2 \, \% & = & \dfrac{\text{Volume of solute}}{\text{250 mL}}\times 100 \, \%\\\\2 \times \text{ 250 mL} & = & \text{Volume of solute} \times 100\\\text{Volume of solute} & = & \dfrac{2 \times 250\text{ mL}}{100}\\\\ & = & \textbf{5 mL}\\\end{array}

If there is no change of volume on mixing,

Volume of solution = 250 mL

 -Volume of solute = <u>     </u><u>5</u><u>      </u>

 Volume of solvent = 245 mL

What is a reaction rate?
kondaur [170]

Answer:

A reaction rate is a measure of how fast a reactant disappears or a product forms during a reaction.

Explanation:

It is usually defined as the change in concentration per unit time:

Δ(concentration)/Δt

The units are (moles per litre) per second.

In symbols, the units are mol/(L·s) or mol·L^-1 s^-1.

How are ironic bonds and covalent bonds different and how are they different?
Vinil7 [7]
Ionic bonds are forces that hold together electrostatic forces of attractions between oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds have an electronegativity difference greater than or equal to 2. Covalent bonds have an electronegativity difference that is less than 2.
