Answer:
Described by a redox reaction below
Explanation:
Iron(III) oxide is an ionic compound, since it consists of a metal, iron, and a nonmetal, oxygen.
Ionic compounds are formed when metals lose their valence electrons in order to have an octet in their previous shell and donate them to nonmetal atoms, so that nonmetals fill their outer shell to have an octet.
As a result, positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions) are formed. When iron reacts with oxygen, the following reaction takes place:
This is a redox (oxidation–reduction) reaction, since we have electron loss and gain. Four iron atoms lose a total of 12 electrons to obtain a +3 charge in the final compound, while 3 oxygen molecules gain these 12 electrons to become 6 oxide anions with a -2 charge.
Answer:
Option C is the correct. Valence electrons have a higher energy level than those in other filled shells
Explanation:
Electrons must lose energy to move from the first to the second shell. FALSE
The electrons always win energy to move from the first to the second shell.
All the electrons in an atom have similar energy levels FALSE.
They are not neccesary similar. In hydrogen these are the level energy -13.6 eV
, -3.4 eV
, -1.51 eV
, -85 eV and -54 eV
Electrons do not have potential energy, just kinetic energy. FALSE
They have both.
Valencia electrons are the last electrons in the last layer. They have as much energy as possible and are responsible for forming bonds with other elements.
Answer:
The elements in Group 2 (beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium) are called the alkaline earth metals (see Figure below). These elements have two valence electrons, both of which reside in the outermost s sublevel. The general electron configuration of all alkaline earth metals is ns
Heat energy released : 167.2 kJ
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Heat can be calculated using the formula:
Q = mc∆T
Q = heat, J
m = mass, g
c = specific heat, joules / g ° C
∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K
m = 2000 g
c = 4.18 J/ g ° C
∆t = 20 ° C
