Selenium has six valence electrons. What is the valence of selenium?

1 answer:

3 0

The six electrons in the outermost shell allow selenium to have a variety of valence numbers.

The valence of selenium depends on which compound it is in. Selenium is very similar to sulfur. It may have a valence of 6.
EXAMPLE:

selenium hexafluoride SeF6, selenium trioxide SeO3

May have 4;

example

selenium tetrafluoride SeF4, selenium dioxide SeO2

MAy have 2;

example

selenium difluoride SeF2, selenium dichloride SeCl2

and may have -2;

example

hydrogen selenide H2Se

What is the difference between speed, velocity,acceleration.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement( change of distance in a particular direction with respect to time) , and acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. ... Also, speed is a scalar quantity but velocity and acceleration are vector quantities.

The Brazos River is a major river in Texas. In many parts of the Cross Timbers and Prairies ecoregion, the river has formed tall

musickatia [10]

Answer:

Weather and erosion.

Explanation:

In Geography, weathering is the process of breaking down of rocks, minerals and soil as a result of contact with water, earth's atmosphere, acid, ice, plants and animals. The breaking up of the rocks by weathering weakens it and makes it susceptible to erosion.

Erosion in geography is the movement of rocks and sediments to another place by water, wind and ice.

For instance, In many parts of the Cross Timbers and Prairies ecoregion, the Brazos river has formed tall, steep cliffs in the rock along its banks through the processes of weathering and erosion.

The standard enthalpy of formation for glucose [c6h12o6(s)] is −1273.3 kj/mol. what is the correct formation equation correspond

balu736 [363]

The standard formation equation for glucose C6H12O6(s) that corresponds to the standard enthalpy of formation or enthalpy change ΔH°f = -1273.3 kJ/mol is
C(s) + H2(g) + O2(g) → C6H12O6(s)
and the balanced chemical equation is
6C(s) + 6H2(g) + 3O2(g) → C6H12O6(s)

Using the equation for the standard enthalpy change of formation
ΔHoreaction = ∑ΔHof(products)−∑ΔHof(Reactants)
ΔHoreaction = ΔHfo[C6H12O6(s)] - {ΔHfo[C(s, graphite) + ΔHfo[H2(g)] + ΔHfo[O2(g)]}

C(s), H2(g), and O2(g) each have a standard enthalpy of formation equal to 0 since they are in their most stable forms:
ΔHoreaction = [1*-1273.3] - [(6*0) + (6*0) + (3*0)]
= -1273.3 - (0 + 0 + 0)
= -1273.3

An aqueous solution of licl is 34.0 % licl. what mass of water is present in 250.0 g of the solution? (density of water is 1.00

adell [148]

<span>If the aqueous solution is 34% Licl then it is 100 - 34% water = 66% From the calculation we've found out that it is 66% water. Then we need to find the weight from a 250 g solution. 66/100 * 250 = 165g Hence it is 165g</span>
