n atom “likes” to obtain a full outer shell. The fourth shell (in the atoms that we are studying today) can hold a maximum of 8

electrons. Think: Energetically, would the atom above “prefer” to give away its valence electrons or borrow some from another atom in order to fill its outer shell? Explain your reasoning

It depends on how many electrons are already in the outer shell.

If it is a large amount (if it is almost to the maximum), then it will want to borrow from another atom.

But if it is close to empty then it will want to give away so it will go back to the inner ring with will be full.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Given the balanced equation:
Aliun [14]

Answer:

0.4

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of SrCl₂ consumed = ?

Mass of ZnCl₂ produced = 54 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

ZnSO₄ + SrCl₂    →    SrSO₄ +  ZnCl₂

Number of moles of ZnCl₂:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 54 g/136.3 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.4 mol

Now we will compare the moles of  ZnCl₂ with SrCl₂  from balance chemical equation.

                          ZnCl₂              :             SrCl₂

                              1                  :                1

                           0.4                 :              0.4

Thus when 54 g of  ZnCl₂ produced 0.4 moles of SrCl₂ react.

Aleks [24]
These are formed when, after formation of the first atom, the pi-orbitals of Sulfur and Oxygen align and share another pair of electrons. This occurs between sulfur and both of the oxygen atoms, with each oxygen atom forming one pi-bond.

What's an element in period 5 with larger radius than Yttrium?
eimsori [14]
Rubidium or strontium have larger a larger atomic radius since the further left on the periodic table you go, the larger the sizes of the atoms are.  This trend can be explained through effective nuclear charge which explains how the further left and down you go, the less the atoms nucleus is able to pull in the electrons around it.<span />
