An atom X has three electrons in its outermost shell. Which ion will most likely be formed by X?

Chemistry

DedPeter [7]3 years ago

Answer: X3+

Explanation:

Every atom aim to achieve stability by receiving electrons or giving their valence electrons in order to have a complete outermost shell of 2 (duplet) or 8 (octet structure).

In this case, the atom X will easily give off its three valence electrons to another atom(s), thereby forming a trivalent positive ion (X3+) with a stable duplet or octet structure (i.e an outermost shell with 2 or 8 electrons).

X --> X3+ + 3e-

Thus, due to the give away of three electrons (3e-), the atom X becomes X3+.

You have 500 mL of 5 M HCl already made. You need to dilute the solution to 1 M HCl. How much water will you need to add?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

You need to add 400mL of water

Explanation:

500mL = 5 M HCI     That means that if you divide both sides by 5

100mL = 1 M HCI         If you need ot get rid of 4 M HCI then you add 400 mL of water because that is what it is equal to

Assuming an electron is a hydrogen atom can undergo any of the transitions below, thus changing its energy. Which transition is
inn [45]

Answer:

n = 3 to n = 5

Explanation:

According to the Bohr's model of the atom, electrons in an atom absorb energy to move from a lower to higher energy level.

We must note that as we progress away from the nucleus, the energy levels of electrons become closer together. The energy difference between successive levels decreases and the wavelength of light associated with such transitions become longer.

Hence,the absorption of light of the longest wavelength corresponds to n = 3 to n = 5

Using the periodic tables, identify the heaviest member of each of the following groups:
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

(a) Alkali metals: Francium (Fr)

(b) Chalcogens: Polonium (Po)

(c) Noble gases: Radon (Rn)

(d) Alkaline earth metals: Radium (Ra)

Explanation:

In the periodic table, the atomic mass increases down the group. Therefore, the last element of a group is the heaviest element of the group.

(a) alkali metals: The chemical elements that are present in group 1 of the periodic table, except hydrogen.

<u>The heaviest member of this group is francium (Fr)</u>

(b) chalcogens: The chemical elements that are present in group 16 of the periodic table

<u>The heaviest member of this group is polonium (Po)</u>

(c) noble gases:  The chemical elements that are present in group 18 of the periodic table

<u>The heaviest member of this group is radon (Rn)</u>

(d) alkaline earth metals: The chemical elements that are present in group 2 of the periodic table.

<u>The heaviest member of this group is radium (Ra)</u>

Complete the table to summarize the properties of the different subatomic particles. Type in your answers.
Aloiza [94]

<h2>Complete the table to summarize the properties of the different subatomic particles. </h2>

Explanation:

Atom

It is a smallest particle which cant exist independently.

According To Dalton, atom was indivisible but later on, it was proved that atom can be subdivided into sub atomic particles called electron, proton & neutron.

These subatomic particles have marked properties .

Proton

  • It was discovered by E.Goldstein .
  • It is positively charged particle
  • It is present in nucleus .
  • Its mass is equal to 1.6726219 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms

Neutron

  • It was discovered by E.chadwick .
  • It is neutral
  • It is present inside the nucleus .
  • It's mass is equal to 1.674927471×10⁻²⁷ kg

Electron

  • It was discovered by J.J Thomson .
  • It has negative charge .
  • It's mass is equal to 9.10938356 × 10⁻³¹ kilograms
  • It is present outside the nucleus in shells .
