Chemistry
1 answer:
Anon25 [30]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

4 means there are four molecules of Na₂SO₃.

Explanation:

Molecule:

A molecule is the smaller particle which can exist independently.

It may be monoatomic , diatomic, triatomic etc.

For example,

Hydrogen molecule consist of two atoms H₂

Nitrogen molecule = N₂

It may be combination of atoms of different elements.

HCl, H₂SO₄,Na₂SO₃

HCl = 1 mole of hydrochloric acid or one molecules of hydrochloric acid

H₂SO₄= 1 mole of sulfuric acid or one molecule of sulfuric acid

Na₂SO₃ = 1 mole of sodium sulfite or one molecule of sodium sulfite.

4Na₂SO₃ = 4 mole of sodium sulfite or four molecule of sodium sulfite.

The coefficient before the formula indicate the total number of molecules.

The electron configuration of an element is 1s22s22p4. Describe what most likely happens when two atoms of this element move tow
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

When the two atoms move towards each other a compound is formed by sharing electron pairs supplied by each of the atoms to enable them have the stable 8 (octet) valency electrons in their outermost shell

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of the given element can be written as follows;

1s²2s²2p⁴

The given electronic configuration is equivalent to that of oxygen, therefore, we have;

The number of electrons in the valence shell = 2 + 4 = 6 electrons

Therefore, each atom requires 2 electrons to complete its 8 (octet) electrons in the outermost shell

When the two atoms move towards each other, they react and combine to form a compound by sharing 4 electrons, 2 from each atom, such that each atom can have an extra 2 electrons in its outermost orbit in the newly formed compound and the stable octet configuration is attained by each of the atoms in the newly formed compound.
