Identify the element that has 6 valence electrons and 3 energy levels
1 answer:
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.

- ΔH = -481 kJ/mol.
- The reaction is exothermic.
2 H-H + O=O → 2 H-O-H
There are two moles of H-H bonds and one mole of O=O bonds in one mole of reactants. All of them will break in the reaction. That will absorb
- E(Bonds broken) = 2 × 436 + 499 = 1371 kJ/mol reaction.
- ΔH(Breaking bonds) = +1371 kJ/mol
Each mole of the reaction will form two moles of water molecules. Each mole of H₂O molecules have two moles O-H bonds. Two moles of the molecule will have four moles of O-H bonds. Forming all those bond will release
- E(Bonds formed) = 2 × 2 × 463 = 1852 kJ/mol reaction.
- ΔH(Forming bonds) = - 1852 kJ/mol
Heat of the reaction:
is negative. As a result, the reaction is exothermic.
