What is the easiest way for atoms without a full valence shell to gain a full valence shell?

Chemistry

sergey [27]3 years ago
7 0

Most atoms do not. For those atoms that do not have a full valence shell (which usually would contain eight electrons, except for hydrogen and helium, where it would contain two), something has to change. So nature's tendency toward a full valence shell will lead to one of two things: The gain or loss of electrons.

Not most atoms. Most atoms. Something needs to change for atoms that do not have a complete valence shelled (usually containing eight electrons other than hydrogen and helium, where there are two), Thus the tendency of nature to reach an entire valence shell leads to one of two things: electron gain or loss.

Ernest Rutherford

J. J Thomson

Explanation:

<u>Ernest Rutherford</u>

In 1911, Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand chemist performed the gold foil experiment where he gave the modelling of the atom a boost.

 Experiment

 In his experiment, he bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles generated from a radioactive source. He found that most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil while a few of them were deflected back.

 Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory

To account for his observation, Rutherford suggested an atomic model in which an atom has small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.

<u>J. J Thomson</u>

Experiment

In 1897 J.J Thomson performed experiments using the gas discharge tube that led to the discovery of the electrons. He called them cathode rays because they originate from the cathode and exits at the anode.

Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory

From his experiment on the gas discharge tube, Thomson was able determine the properties of cathode rays some of which are:

  • they move in a straight line
  • they possess kinetic energy
  • they attract positive charges and repels negative charges

Using his observation, he proposed the plum pudding model of the atom where it is made up of entirely electrons.

Many scientist compare the parts of a cell to the parts of a factory. Do you think this comparison is fair and useful?
Fittoniya [83]
Yes. Parts of a cell work together just like stations in a factory.

How will adding NaCl affect the freezing point of a solution?
lord [1]

Answer is: adding NaCl will lower the freezing point of a solution.

A solution (in this example solution of sodium chloride) freezes at a lower temperature than does the pure solvent (deionized water).

The higher the solute concentration (sodium chloride), freezing point depression of the solution will be greater.

Equation describing the change in freezing point:  

ΔT = Kf · b · i.

ΔT - temperature change from pure solvent to solution.

Kf - the molal freezing point depression constant.

b -  molality (moles of solute per kilogram of solvent).

i - Van’t Hoff Factor.

Dissociation of sodium chloride in water: NaCl(aq) →  Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).
