Answer:
The number of valence electrons can be known from the group that the element is in (except the lanthanides, actinides and groups 3-12).
Explanation:
Group 1 has 1 valence electron. Group 2 has 2 valence electrons. Group 13 has 3 valence electrons. Group 14 has 4, group 15 has 5, group 16 has 6, group 17 has 7, and group 18 has 8.
Group 18 are the noble gases which are stable.
Group 17 are the halogens and react well with the alkali metals.

in the simple cubic unit cell, the centers of ____Eight________ identical particles define the ____corners________ of a cube. The particles do touch along the cube's _____edges _______ but do not touch along the cube's ___ diagonally_________ or through the center. There is/are __eight__________ particle per unit cell and the coordination number is _____six_______ .
Answer:
Cl2
Explanation:
Cl2 is a covalent molecule because it contains 2 non-metal elements.
It is non-polar because both elements have the same level of electrostatic attraction (remember that electrostatic attraction is the tendency to steel an electron from an element with lower a lower electrostatic force)
In Cl2 since there are only 2 molecules that are the exact same there is no overall dipole (which means that one end of the molecule is slightly positive or negative charge)
If the molecule replaced one Cl or something else then it would be non-polar since one element will be more electrostatic than the other and one region of the molecule will have a slightly positive or negative charge, unless the molecule is symmetrical like CH4.
For CH4 (methane) if you drew this as a lewis structure the Carbon would be surrounded by 4 hydrogen atoms meaning the overall dipole will be cancelled out since the molecule is symmetrical.
You may not understand the last part but just know that:
If there are 2 of the same atoms in the molecule (Cl2) then it is non-polar
If there are 2 non-metals then the bond is covalent
Water is always polar
Answer:
In styrene, there is a phenyl group which is electron-withdrawing. So the electronic density in the double bonds increases, hence easy to associate as monomers. While in methoxystyrene, there is a carbonyl group which is not electron deficient. so no easy association with monomers.
