Answer: Silicon the first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital. Since 1s can only hold two electrons the next 2 electrons for Silicon go in the 2s orbital. The next six electrons will go in the 2p orbital. The p orbital can hold up to six electrons.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

In writing the electron configuration for Silicon the first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital. Since 1s can only hold two electrons the next 2 electrons for Silicon go in the 2s orbital. The nex six electrons will go in the 2p orbital. The p orbital can hold up to six electrons

1.) What are the chemical properties of matter?

denis23 [38]

Answer:

Chemical properties are properties that can be measured or observed only when matter undergoes a change to become an entirely different kind of matter. They include reactivity, flammability, and the ability to rust. Reactivity is the ability of matter to react chemically with other substances.

Compute the percent ionic character of the interatomic bonds for the following compounds : a. TiO2 b. ZnTe c. CsCld. InSb e. MgC

sesenic [268]

Answer:

a. 63.2%

b. 11.7%

c. 73.3%

d. 0.995%

e. 55.5%

Explanation:

An ionic compound is a compound that is formed by ions, so one of the elements must donate electrons (which is the cation, the positive ion), and the other will receive these electrons (which is the anion, the negative ion).

The power of an element has to attract the electrons is called electronegativity, and so, as higher is the difference of electronegative of the elements, it is more probable that one of them will "still" the electrons and will form an ionic compound. The percent of this ionic character can be found by the Pauling's equation:

$%IC = (1 - e^{-0.25*(x_A - x_B)^2})$ *100%
