<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>

What are all the intermolecular forces present in a sample of BrF?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

dipole-dipole

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces exists between the molecules of a substance in a particular state of matter.

The type of intermolecular forces present in  a substance is determined by the electronegativity difference between the atoms that compose the substance.

There is a non zero electronegativity difference  between Br and F hence the molecule is polar and the intermolecular forces between the molecules of BrF are dipole-dipole forces.

Which of the following statements concerning equilibrium constants is true? The equilibrium constant of the reverse reaction is
Brut [27]

Answer:

When the coefficients in a balanced chemical reaction are multiplied by two, the equilibrium constant is not affected.

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant of a reaction is known to remain steady.

Even if all the coefficients of all the species in the reaction are multiplied by two, the value of the equilibrium constant will reamin the same because the equilibrium position will not change as a result of that.

Give the symbols of the ions formed when sodium reacts with chlorine
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

When a sodium atom transfers an electron to a chlorine atom, forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-), both ions have complete valence shells, and are energetically more stable.
