Which electrons in a calcium atom in the ground state have the greatest effect on the chemical properties of calcium

Chemistry
2 answers:
JulsSmile [24]3 years ago

Answer is: the two electrons in the fourth shell.

Atomic number of calcium is 20, it means that it has 20 protons and 20 electrons, so atom of calcium is neutral.  

Electron configuration of calcium atom: ₂₀Ca 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s²; calcium has two valence electrons (4s²).  

In reactions it lose those two electrons ang form cation with positive charge 2+.

Atomic number is the number of protons, which is characteristic of a chemical element.

Beryllium, magnesium,calcium and strontium are alkaline earth metals. The elements have very similar properties.

Alkaline earth metals have in common an outer s- electron shell (two electrons).

<u>Valence electrons</u> have the greatest effect on the chemical properties of calcium

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Electrons can move the shell up or down by releasing energy or absorbing energy

Excited electrons show higher electron transfer to the shell by absorbing energy

So it can be concluded that there are 2 conditions:

Ground state is the state of electrons filling skins with the lowest energy levels.

Excited state is the state of electrons which occupies a higher energy level

The state of excited electrons can be seen from the presence of electrons which do not fill the skin completely but fill the skin afterwards

Ca has atomic number 20 so the electron configuration is:

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s²

This configuration can be said in Ground state conditions

Elemental properties can be determined by its valence electrons (electrons which fill electrons in the outer shell)

The valence electrons of an element indicate in what group and period the element is located in the periodic system so that its properties can be determined

The period of an element is determined from the valence shell (the biggest main quantum number (n) )

Groups of chemical elements are divided into two, namely:

Group A, occupying sub shell s and p

Group B, occupying sub shell d

If we look at valence electrons from Ca atoms then:

  • period = 4
  • group = 2A

So that the Ca Atom is located in the alkaline earth group, together with beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra)

So the  chemical properties of calcium :

  • - forming bases
  • - reactive
  • - strong reducing agent

a 1.25g sample of ore containing iron pyrite (FeS2) was pulverized and ignited in air, converting the FeS2 to Fe2O3 and SO2(g).
svp [43]

Answer:

28.9%

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

2 FeS₂ + 11/2 O₂ ⇒ Fe₂O₃ + 4 SO₂

We can establish the following relations:

  • The molar mass of Fe₂O₃ is 159.6 g/mol
  • 1 mole of Fe₂O₃ is produced per 2 moles of FeS₂
  • 1 mole of Fe is in 1 mole of FeS₂
  • The molar mass of Fe is 55.84 g/mol

The amount of Fe in the sample that produced 0.516 g of Fe₂O₃ is:

0.516gFe_{2}O_{3}.\frac{1molFe_{2}O_{3}}{159.6gFe_{2}O_{3}} .\frac{2molFeS_{2}}{1molFe_{2}O_{3}} .\frac{1molFe}{1molFeS_{2}} .\frac{55.84gFe}{1molFe} =0.361gFe

The percent of Fe in 1.25 g of the ore is:

\frac{0.361g}{1.25g} .100\%=28.9\%

How many moles are in 5.4x1024 molecules of C4H2F7I, heptafluoro-1-iodobutane? Group of answer choices
jasenka [17]

Given :

Number of molecules of C_4H_2F_7I.

To Find :

How many moles are in given number of molecules.

Solution :

We know, in 1 moles of any element/compound contains 6.022\times 10^{23} at atoms/molecules.

So, number of moles in 5.4\times 10^{24} molecules are :

n = \dfrac{5.4\times 10^{24}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\\\\n = 8.97 \ moles

Therefore, number of moles are 8.97 .
