How many more valence electrons does oxygen need to have a full outer valence shell?

Oxygen is in group 16 of the PTOE, so it has 6 valence electrons. In order to have a full outer shell it would need 2 more electrons. (second shell can hold a max of 8 electrons)

Alkynes are reduced to trans alkenes by a process called dissolving metal reduction. The reaction uses sodium or lithium metal a
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The movement of the electrons is illustrated in the picture attached to this answer. It is a four-step reaction mechanism.

First STEP: The first step involves the transfer of an electron from sodium to form a radical anion.

Second STEP: This radical anion then removes a proton/hydrogen from ammonia in a bid to neutralize itself (hence the hydrogen becomes bonded to the anion).

Third STEP: The sodium (from NaNH₂ formed) transfers an electron again to produce a vinyl carbanion.

Fourth STEP: The carbanion then removes a proton/hydrogen from ammonia (like in the second step) to form a neutral trans-alkene.

NOTE: The circled numbers denote each step while the mechanism on the left represents the use of any alkyl group (R and R') while the mechanism on the right assumes both alkyl groups are methyl. Hence, 2-butyne started the reaction and the final product was trans-2-butene.

A gas has a volume of 10 liters under a pressure of 745 mm of Hg.
aksik [14]

Answer:

Volume is 10.35 L

Explanation:

we are given;

  • Initial volume v₁ is 10 L
  • Initial pressure, P₁ as 745 mmHg
  • New pressure ,P₂ as 720 mmHg

We are required to determine the new volume, V₂

We are going to use the Boyle's law;

According to Boyle's law the volume and the pressure of a fixed mass of a gas are inversely proportional at a constant temperature.

Therefore;

P₁α 1/V

That is;

P = k/V

k = PV

At different conditions;

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Rearranging the formula;

V₂ = P₁V₁ ÷ P₂

Thus;

New volume = (10 L× 745 mmHg) ÷ 720 mmHg

                     = 10.35 L

Thus, the new volume of the gas at the new pressure is 10.35 L

Select the correct answer. Two charged objects, A and B, exert an electric force on each other. What happens if the distance bet
VikaD [51]

Answer:

The electric force between them decreases

Explanation:

The force between two charged particle is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

Where

r is the distance between charges

If the distance between the charges is increased, the electric force gets decreased as there is an inverse relation between force and distance.

Hence, the correct option is (c) "The electric force between them decreases"

Chloroform, CHCl3, reacts with chlorine, Cl2, to form carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, and hydrogen chloride, HCl. In an experiment 2
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Chloroform= limiting reactant

0.209mol of CCl4 is formed

And 32.186g of CCl4 is formed

Explanation:

The equation of reaction

CHCl3 + Cl2= CCl4 + HCl

From the equation 1 mol of

CHCl3 reacts with 1mol Cl2 to yield 1mol of CCl4

From the question

25g of CHCl3 really with Cl2

Molar mass of CHCl3= 119.5

Molar mass of Cl2 = 71

Hence moles of CHCl3= 25/119.5 = 0.209mol

Moles of Cl2 = 25/71 = 0.352mol

Hence CHCl3 is the limiting reactant

Since 1 mole of CHCl3 gave 1mol of CCl4

It implies that 0.209moles of CHCl3 will also give 0.209mol of CCl4

Mass of CCl4 formed = moles× molar mass= 0.209×154= 32.186g

Para solucionar el ejercicio primero se debe conocer el número atómico de los elementos para determinar cuantos electrones tiene
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

El número atómico se refiere al número de protones o electrones de un átomo.

Explicación:

El número atómico se refiere a la cantidad de protones o la cantidad de electrones que giran alrededor de las capas u órbita de un átomo, por lo que el número atómico 7 representa que el átomo tiene 7 electrones o protones mientras que, por otro lado, el número atómico 17 muestra el número de electrones o protón. Solo hay dos electrones que entran en la primera órbita y en el resto de las capas tiene espacio para 8 electrones por lo que los átomos pierden o agregan electrones en su capa más externa para obtener estabilidad.
