<span>The number of electrons in an atom's outermost valence shell governs its bonding behavior.
In N</span>₂, three electrons are being shared by each nitrogen atom, making a total of 6 shared electrons.
In CCl₄, 4 electrons are being shared by each carbon atom and 1 electron is being shared by each chlorine atom
In SiO₂, 4 electrons are being shared by each silicon atom and 2 electrons are being shared by each oxygen atom.
In AlCl₃, 3 electrons are being shared by each aluminum atom and 1 electron is being shared by each Cl atom
In CaCl₂, 2 electrons are lost by the calcium atom and 1 electron is gained by each chlorine atom
In LiBr, 1 electron is lost by the lithium atom and 1 electron is gained by the bromine atom
Explanation:
Note: Molar masses of elements can be found online or in the periodic table.
Moles of Magnesium
= 3.60g / (24.3g/mol) = 0.148mol.
Moles of Chlorine
= 10.65g / (35.45g/mol) = 0.300mol.
Mole ratio of Magnesium to Chlorine
= 0.148mol : 0.300mol = 1 : 2.
Hence we have the empirical formula MgCl2.
Moles of Lithium
= 9.1g / (6.94g/mol) = 1.311mol.
Moles of Oxygen
= 10.4g / (16g/mol) = 0.650mol.
Moles ratio of Lithium to Oxygen
= 1.311mol : 0.650mol = 2 : 1.
Hence we have the empirical formula Li2O.
Answer:
Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous. A mixture in which its constituents are distributed uniformly is called homogeneous mixture, such as salt in water. A mixture in which its constituents are not distributed uniformly is called heterogeneous mixture, such as sand in water.
