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!

If uranium-235 is bombarded with a neutron, it will temporarily become
stealth61 [152]
All atoms consist of a nucleus with protons and neutrons that is surrounded by a sea of electrons. If Uranium-235 is bombarded with a neutron then the atom's atomic number will remain the same but its mass will increase by 1 unit. Thus, it will temporarily become Uranium-236.

Please solve for Cu,N,and O an dif you can show how cause ik confused
belka [17]

Cu⇒ 1 atom

N⇒2 atoms

O⇒6 atoms

Total 9 atoms

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.  

A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.  

<em>(empirical formula) n = molecular formula  </em>

Chemical formula : Cu(NO₃)₂

Number of Cu : 1

Number of N : 2

Number of O = 2 x 3 = 6

Total atoms in Cu(NO₃)₂ : 1 + 2 + 6 = 9

Which answer below correctly identifies the type of change and the explanation for the boiling of water?
Lynna [10]

physical change because even though gas formation was observed, the water was undergoing a  state change, which means that its original properties  are preserved

Explanation:

The boiling of water is a physical change because the original properties of the water is preserved.

  • A physical change is the one that alters the physical properties of matter.
  • This kind of change is easily reversible as the water can be cooled back.
  • No new kinds of matter is produced in this kind of change .
  • The molecules of the matter still retains their property after.

During the boiling of water, intermolecular bonds called hydrogen bonds between the water molecules are broken. This makes the individual molecules free.

What is the molarity of the solution with a volume of 23.47 Liters and 14.968 moles?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

0.6378 M

Explanation:

Molarity is defined by Moles per liter.

Plugging the given information in, we get (14.968 moles)/(23.47 L) which comes out to be about 0.6378 M

If 2.8X10⁻¹⁰% of the atoms of a radioactive isotope disintegrate in 1.0 yr, what is the decay constant of the process?
Marizza181 [45]

Decay constant, proportionality between the size of a population of radioactive atoms and the rate at which the population decreases because of radioactive decay.

<h3>What is decay constant value?</h3>

The rate of disintegration is proportional to the number of atoms at any point in time and the constant of proportionality is called the radioactivity decay constant. The radioactive decay constant for Radium B is approximately 4.3 × 10−4 s−1.

<h3>What is decay constant unit?</h3>

Definition. The decay constant (symbol: λ and units: s−1 or a−1) of a radioactive nuclide is its probability of decay per unit time. The number of parent nuclides P therefore decreases with time t as dP/P dt = −λ. The energies involved in the binding of protons and neutrons by the nuclear forces are ca.
