Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.

Atomic number of beryllium is 4 and its electronic distribution is 2, 2. This means there are only two shells of electrons.

Whereas atomic number of sodium is 11 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 1.  This means there are three shells of electrons.

Also there is one more valence electron in sodium as compared to beryllium.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the element X is sodium (Na).

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but some general explanation provides a clear answer to what is been asked in the question.

An ionic/electrovalent compound is a compound whose constituent atoms are joined together by ionic bond. Ionic bond is a bond involving the transfer of valence electron(s) from an atom (to form a positively charged cation) to another  atom (to form a  negatively charged anion). The atom transferring is usually a metal while the atom receiving is usually a non-metal.

For example (as shown in the attachment), in the formation of NaCl salt, the sodium (Na) transfers the single electron (valence) on it's outermost shell to chlorine (Cl) which ordinarily has 7 electrons on it's outermost shell but becomes 8 after receiving the valence electron from sodium. It should also be noted that Na is a metal while Cl is a non-metal.

Sodium sulfide reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrosulfuric acid and sodium chloride. (you need to write and balance t
VikaD [51]

Answer:

2.5 moles of NaCl

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction equation is shown in the image. Since it takes 2 moles of Hydrochloric acid to form two moles of sodium. Chloride, then 2.5 moles of hydrochloric acid should also form 2.5 moles of sodium chloride according to the balanced reaction equation.

You carefully weigh out 11.00 g of caco3 powder and add it to 44.55 g of hcl solution. you notice bubbles as a reaction takes pl
Zinaida [17]
The bubbles that were observed after the mixing of the two substances is one of the products of the reaction. It is the carbon dioxide that is produced. To determine the mass of this gas produced, we need to remember the Law of conservation of mass where mass cannot be created or destroyed. With this, we can say that the total mass that goes in a process should be equal to the mass that is goes out of the process no matter what the reaction is. We do as follows:

Mass of reactants = mass of products
11.00 + 44.55 = 51.04 + mass of carbon dioxide
mass of carbon dioxide = 4.51 g

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 122g of MgSO4 n 3.5L of solution?​
Semmy [17]

Answer:

0.29mol/L or 0.29moldm⁻³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of MgSO₄ = 122g

Volume of solution = 3.5L

Molarity is simply the concentration of substances in a solution.

Molarity = number of moles/ Volume

>>>>To calculate the Molarity of MgSO₄ we find the number of moles using the mass of MgSO₄ given.

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of MgSO₄:

Atomic masses: Mg = 24g

S = 32g

O = 16g

Molar mass of MgSO₄ = [24 + 32 + (16x4)]g/mol

= (24 + 32 + 64)g/mol

= 120g/mol

Number of moles = 122/120 = 1.02mol

>>>> From the given number of moles we can evaluate the Molarity using this equation:

Molarity = number of moles/ Volume

Molarity of MgSO₄ = 1.02mol/3.5L

= 0.29mol/L

IL = 1dm³

The Molarity of MgSO₄ = 0.29moldm⁻³

Identify one factor represented in the diagram that is used to classify the ten types of clouds
Ede4ka [16]
Low clouds
Stratus clouds are uniform grayish clouds that often cover the sky. Usually no precipitation falls from stratus clouds, but they may drizzle. When a thick fog “lifts,” the resulting clouds are low stratus. Nimbostratus clouds form a dark gray, “wet” looking cloudy layer associated with continuously falling rain or snow. They often produce light to moderate precipitation.

Middle clouds
Clouds with the prefix “alto” are middle-level clouds that have bases at 6,500 to 23,000 feet up. Altocumulus clouds are made of water droplets and appear as gray, puffy masses, sometimes rolled out in parallel waves or bands. These clouds on a warm, humid summer morning often mean thunderstorms by late afternoon. Altostratus clouds, gray or blue-gray, are made up of ice crystals and water droplets. They usually cover the sky. In thinner areas of them, the sun may be dimly visible as a round disk. Altostratus clouds often form ahead of storms that produce continuous precipitation.

High clouds
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds blown by high winds into long streamers. They are considered “high clouds,” forming at more than 20,000 feet. They usually move across the sky from west to east and generally mean fair to pleasant weather. Cirrostratus, thin, sheetlike clouds that often cover the sky, are so thin the sun and moon can be seen through them. Cirrocumulus clouds appear as small, rounded white puffs. Small ripples in the cirrocumulus sometimes resemble the scales of a fish, creating what is sometimes called a “mackerel sky.”

Vertical clouds
Cumulus clouds are puffy and can look like floating cotton. The base of each is often flat and may be only 330 feet above ground. The top has rounded towers. When the top resembles a cauliflower head, it is called “cumulus congestus.” These grow upward and if they continue to grow vertically can develop into a giant cumulonimbus, a thunderstorm cloud, with dark bases no more than 1,000 feet above ground and extending to more than 39,000 feet. Tremendous energy is released by condensation of water vapor in a cumulonimbus. Lightning, thunder and violent tornadoes are associated with them.
