Answer:
The expression to calculate the mass of the reactant is 
Explanation:
<em>The amount of heat released is equal to the amount of heat released per gram of reactant times the mass of the reactant.</em> To keep to coherence between units we need to transform 1,080 J to kJ. We do so with proportions:
Then,
Answer:
Molecular solids and covalent network solids are two types of solid compounds. The key difference between molecular solid and covalent network solid is that <em>molecular solid forms due to the action of Van der Waal forces </em>where as <em>covalent network solid forms due to the action of covalent chemical bonds.</em>
hope this helps
Answer:
Charge= -2.
Gains two electron into the 4p^4 to become 4p^6.
Explanation:
The element in the periodic table/chart that matches with the valence electron configuration is Selenium with full electron configuration of [Ar] 3d^10 4s^2 4P^4 which is a non-metal that is found in group 4 of the periodic table/chart.
Selenium can receive 2 more electrons on the 4p^4 to give a -2(minus 2) ion that is Se^2-.
Selenium can also loose 2 electron from 4s^2 to give a +2 ion that is Se^2+.
Selenium can also loose 2 electrons from 4s^2 and 2 electrons from 4p^4 to form Se^4+.
Selenium can also loose 2 electrons from 4s^2 and 4 electrons from 4p^4 to form Se^6+.
Thus, in order to form a monatomic ion with a charge(we will be making use of the most stable one). Thus, it will gain two more electron since this is easier to become 4s^2 4p^6.
