Identify the element that has 6 valence electrons and 3 energy levels

Chemistry
1 answer:
evablogger [386]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Sulfur

Explanation:

<u>Valence electrons</u> are the group numbers. The group numbers are the numbers that go from left to right on the top. But since you can't have more than 8 valence electrons, the group numbers of 13-18, the valence electrons will actually be from 3-8. So 6 valence electrons would be group 16. That narrows it down a lot. The only elements in this group are oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, polonium, and livermorium.

Energy level are the period numbers. The period numbers are the numbers that go from top to bottom. So the 3rd energy level is the 3rd period. So when you look at the periodic table, under the 16 group and 3rd period, lies Sulfur.

Consider an atom that has an electron in an excited state. The electron falls to a lower energy level. What effect does that hav
enyata [817]

Answer:

The only effect is that excess amount of energy absorbed by the electron will released to fall on lower energy state.

Explanation:

When transition occur from lower energy level to higher energy level require a gain of energy. Electron could not jump into higher energy level without gaining thew energy.

When electron jump into lower energy level from high energy level it loses the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.

How is the climate near the equator different from the climate near the poles? What causes this difference.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
The climate near the equator is hot and dry, think of the Sahara desert.  The climate near the north and south poles is very cold for almost the whole year.

One of the reasons for this is that as the earth orbits the sun the sun's rays are most intense for regions near the equator.  Depending on the time of year, the sun's rays can be very weak near the poles, and if you are close enough to the poles there are days in deep winter when the sun does not even rise over the horizon!

Which of the following aqueous solutions should demonstrate the most non-ideal behavior? A. 0.1 M NaI B. 0.2 M CuSO4 C. 0.5 M KB
Maslowich

Answer:

D. 2.0 M CuCl2

Explanation:

The ionic strength of a solution shows the concentration of its ions in that given solution of the compound. Dissolved ionic compounds always dissociate into ions. The total amount of ions in solution will definitely affect the properties of the solution. The concept of ionic strength was first introduced by Lewis and Randall in 1921 while describing the activity coefficients of strong electrolytes.

The ionic strength of CuCl2 is 6M as shown:

ionic strength = 0.5*[(+2)^2*2M + (1-)^2*4M] = 6 M

The higher the ionic strength of a solution, the greater its non ideal behavior.

CuCl2 shows the greatest ionic strength hence the greatest non ideal behavior.
