Why is the outermost shell of an atom significant?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Gala2k [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The number of electrons in the outermost shell of a particular atom determines its reactivity, or tendency to form chemical bonds with other atoms. This outermost shell is known as the valence shell, and the electrons found in it are called valence electrons

Why does the pressure inside a container of gas increase?
yan [13]
Pressure is a scientific parameter that allows us to determine the amount of force being exerted per unit area. The increase in the pressure inside a container containing a gas may be brought upon by the decrease in volume, increase in temperature, or merely by additional of more gas molecules.

A compound in a copper ore has the following percentage composition by mass:
AveGali [126]
1) since we are given percentages, we can assume we have 100 grams of the molecule.

55.6 % Cu ----> 55.6 grams Cu
16.4 % Fe------> 16.4 grams Fe
28.0% S--------> 28.0 grams S

2) convert each gram to moles using the molar masses given

55.6 g Cu \frac{1 mol}{63.5 g} = 0.876 mol Cu
16.4 g Fe \frac{1 mol}{56.0 g} = 0.293 mol Fe
28.0 gS \frac{1 mol}{32.0} = 0.875 mol S

3) we divide the smallest value of moles (0.293) to each one.

Cu --> 0.876 / 0.293= 3
Fe---> 0.293 / 0.293= 1
S-----> 0.875 / 0.293= 3

4) let's write the empirical formula

Cu₃FeS₃
