6 0

Explanation: Lewis dot structures are the structures which represent the valence electrons of an atom. The dots in the structure are considered as the valence electrons.

First 18 elements of the periodic table are Hydrogen(H), Helium (He), Lithium (Li), Beryllium (Be), Boron (B), Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), Fluorine (F), Neon(Ne), Sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg), Aluminium (Al), Silicon (Si), Phosphorous (P), Sulfur (S), Chlorine (Cl) and Argon(Ar).

The valence electrons are the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. The electronic configuration of the elements are:

Hydrogen (H) = 1s^1 ; Valence electrons = 1

Helium (He) = 1s^2 ; Valence electrons = 2

Lithium (Li) = 1s^22s^1 ; Valence electrons = 1

Beryllium (Be) = 1s^22s^2 ; Valence electrons = 2

Boron (B) = 1s^22s^22p^1 ; Valence electrons = 3

Carbon (C) = 1s^22s^22p^2 ; Valence electrons = 4

Nitrogen (N) = 1s^22s^22p^3 ; Valence electrons = 5

Oxygen (O) = 1s^22s^22p^4 ; Valence electrons = 6

Fluorine (F) = 1s^22s^22p^5 ; Valence electrons = 7

Neon (Ne) = 1s^22s^22p^6 ; Valence electrons = 8

Sodium (Na) = 1s^22s^22p^63s^1 ; Valence electrons = 1

Magnesium (Mg) = 1s^22s^22p^63s^2 ; Valence electrons = 2

Aluminium (Al) = 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^1 ; Valence electrons = 3

Silicon (Si) = 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^2 ; Valence electrons = 4

Phosphorous (P) = 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3 ; Valence electrons = 5

Sulfur (S) = 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4 ; Valence electrons = 6

Chlorine(Cl) = 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5 ; Valence electrons = 7

Argon (Ar) = 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6 ; Valence electrons = 8

  • Elements hydrogen and helium belong to period 1 of the period table, so the lewis dot structures will have maximum of 2 electrons
  • Elements from lithium to neon belong to period 2 and the lewis dot structures will have maximum of 8 electrons.
  • Elements from sodium and argon belong to the period 3 of the periodic table, and will have maximum of 8 electrons in their lewis dot structures.

Lewis dot structures are attached below.

4. Write down the differentiate between a. Atom and molecules​
andre [41]

Answer:

Atoms are single neutral particles. Molecules are neutral particles made of two or more atoms bonded together.

Explanation:

Atom refers to the smallest constituent unit of a chemical element. Molecules refer to a group of two or more atoms that are held together due to chemical bonds.

if you burn a piece of wood you will feel heat see water vapor and be left with ashes how come the matter was not destroyed
Elanso [62]
The matter wasn't destroyed because albert einsteins theory of the black hole says that matter cannot be destroyed if it is burned into the same color of a black hole. this eqation proves my thesis:

²²↑↑Ф\left \{ {{y=2} \atop {x=2}} \right.  \left \{ {{y=2} \atop {x=2}} \right.  \left \{ {{y=2} \atop {x=2}} \right.  \left \{ {{y=2} \atop {x=2}} \right.

Write the symbol for the monatomic ion that has a charge of 1– and the condensed electron configuration [ne]3s23p6.
Pani-rosa [81]
<span>Answer is: the symbol is Cl.
[Ne ] 3s</span>² 3p⁶ is electric configuration of noble gas argon, neon (Ne) has10 electrons plus 6 electrons in 3s and 3p orbitals. Neutral atom of m<span>onatomic ion that has a charge of 1– has one electron less than argon, so that atom (chlorine) has 17 electrons. Charge of 1- means one electron more for ion: 17 + 1 = 18.

Purple Group Header Warm-Up Why can I smell a chocolate bar even though it is a solid? Read the description of the office myster
likoan [24]

Answer:

The smell of a chocolate is from the presence of volatile compounds present in the chocolate bar which at room temperature readily changes phase from solid to liquid to vapor or gas

Explanation:

There are nearly 600 identified compounds present in a chocolate bar and out of these, there are volatile components which gives the chocolate bar its distinctive aroma.

These volatile chocolate contents readily change phase from solid to vapor, with very short duration liquid phase.

For example, 3 methylbutanal, vanillin, and several organic compounds which are known to be readily volatile.
