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!

A generic gas, x, is placed in a sealed glass jar and decomposes to form gaseous y and solid z. 2x(g)â½ââây(g)+z(s) how are thes
Elan Coil [88]
The chemical equation given is:

<span>2x(g) ⇄ y(g)+z(s)</span>

Answer: the higher the amount of x(g) the more the forward reacton will occur and the higher the amounts of  products y(g) and z(s) will be obtained at equilibrium.

Justification:

As Le Chatellier's priciple states, any change in a system in equilibrium will be compensated to restablish the equilibrium.

The higher the amount, and so the concentration, of X(g), the more the forward reaction will proceed to deal witht he high concentration of X(g), leading to an increase on the concentration of the products y(g) and z (s).

Calculate the pH and pOH of 500.0 mL of a phosphate solution that is 0.285 M HPO42– and 0.285 M PO43–. (Ka for HPO42- = 4.2x10-1
jekas [21]

Answer: when concentrations of acid and base are same, pH = pKa

PH = 12.38 pOH = 1.62

Explanation: pKa= -log(Ka)= 12.38. PH + pOH = 14.00

Breeder reactors are used to convert the nonfissionable nuclide U-238 to a fissionable product. Neutron capture by the U-238 is
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Pu-239

Explanation:

Beta decay moves the element which undergoes the decay one place to the right in the periodic table since to conserve charge and being beta radiations an  electron we convert a neutron into a proton and an electron. In neutron capture we increase the atomic mas by one unit. We that in mind, lets solve the question:

U-238 + ₁⁰ n ⇒ U-239 ⇒ Np -239 +  ₋₁⁰β ⇒ Pu-239 +  ₋₁⁰β

Please I don’t get this at all someone help

I think it’s 7.41 because you count up all the atoms and find out how many are x (the large grey ones) and you do 2/27 x 100 which gives you 7.41 :) (sorry if i counted wrong it’s kinda hard)
