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

What are electrolytes
Alex777 [14]
An electrolyte is a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water. The dissolved electrolyte separates into cations and anions, which disperse uniformly through the solvent. Electrically, such a solution is neutral. 

Hope this helps!!

How many grams of NaCl (molecular weight = 58 Da) would you have to dissolve in 50ml to make a 2M stock solution? Answer:
Lerok [7]

Answer:

5.8 g

Explanation:

Molecular weight in Daltons is equivalent to the molecular weight in grams per mole.

The amount of NaCl required is calculated as follows:

(2 mol/L)(50 mL)(1 L/1000 mL) = 0.1 mol

This amount is converted to grams using the molar mass (58 g/mol).

(0.1 mol)(58 g/mol) = 5.8 g

how can you find the Frequency if you only have the wavelength? can you solve this example what is the Frequency of the waveleng
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

75000 Hz

Explanation:

f = V / λ (f= frequency, v=velocity of wave, lambda= wavelength)

alternatively, f = c / λ (f= frequency, c= speed of light- 3.00x10^8 m/s, lambda= wavelength)

f= [3.00x10^8 m/s]/[4000 m]

=75000 Hz

Which can lead scientists to change a theory that has already been accepted? Check all that apply. changes to scientific laws ne
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

New experimental methods

Technological inventions

Explanation:

A scientific theory is usually not based on speculation. Scientific theories must have a solid empirical basis.

However, experimental methods are limited to the caliber of equipments available at the time in which a theory is formulated. With advancing years, more technological sophistication leads to the invention of new instruments and ultimately, the development of new experimental methods.

These innovations are likely to alter existing scientific theories as new evidences emerge, hence the answer.
