Answer:

Are transferred completely from the valence shell of an element to the other

Explanation:

Basically, to form a chemical bond, you either transfer or you share. When you share, it is a case of covalent bonding which can be in several other forms. When there is a transfer, it is a case of ionic bonding.

The basic explanation for this is that while some atoms are electronically sufficient, some are electronically deficient. This means while some atoms are having an excess number of electrons, then some are having less number of electrons.

To satisfy both parties, there must be a transfer if electrons between the two parties. While the one with the excess numbers serves as the donor, the one with insufficient number of electrons serve as the acceptor

What mass of aluminum is needed to produce 0.500 mole of aluminum chloride?

3241004551 [841]

Answer: " 13.5 g Al " ;

→ that is: "13.5 grams of aluminum."

____________________________

Explanation:

____________________________

Note: What is missing from the question is the "balanced chemical equation" for the "chemical reaction" that contains:

The reactants: "aluminum (Al) " ; and "chlorine (Cl) " ; and:

The product: "aluminum choloride (AlCl₃) " .

____________________________

The "balanced chemical equation" is:

____________________________

2 Al + 3 Cl₂ → 2 AlCl₃ ;

_____________________________

Note: The molecular weight of "aluminum (Al)" is: " 26.98 g /mol " .

____________________________

So: We call solve using a technique known as: "dimensional analysis" :

____________________________

0.500 mol AlCl₃ * $(\frac{2mol Al}{2mol AlCl_{3} }) * (\frac{26.98g Al}{1 mol Al}) = ?$

____________________________

Note: The units of "mol AlCl₃" cancel out to "1' ; and:

The units of "mol Al" cancel out to "1" ; and we are left with:

____________________________

" $\frac{(0.500 * 2 * 26.98)}{2}$ g Al ["grams of aluminum"] ;

____________________________

Note: We can "cancel out the "2's" ; since "2/2 = 1 " ; and we have:

→ (0.500 * 26.98) g Al ;

= 13.49 g Al ;

→ Round to 3 (Three) significant figures;

→ Since: "0.500" has 3 (Three) significant figures:

____________________________

= 13.5 g Al ; that is: "13.5 grams of aluminum."

____________________________

Hope this is helpful!

Best wishes to you in your academic pursuits—and within the "Brainly" community!

If the equation: FeCl3+O2-->Fe2O3+Cl2, how many moles of chlorine gas can be produced if 4 moles of FeCl3 react with 4 moles

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

6 moles of Cl2

Explanation:

First, the equation has to be balanced, which makes it 4 FeCl3 + 3 O2 --> 2 Fe2O3 + 6 Cl2

Using this information, we can see that one mole of O2 will not be present in the reaction. Since four moles of FeCl3 are needed to react in the equation, which would produce six moles of Cl2, and only four moles of FeCl3 are present, six moles of Cl2 would be produced.

True or false the si in sih4 does not follow the octet rule because hydrogen is in an unusual oxidation stat

ExtremeBDS [4]

The statement is true. The octet rule refers to the general rule of thumb wherein atoms of main-group elements tend to bond with other atoms in such a way that each atom possesses eight electrons (octet) in their valence shell. They tend to form the same electronic configuration as the noble gases. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. One of which is silane, SiH₄. A hydrogen atom only has 1 valence electron and needs another electron to complete its energy level. This is unlike other atoms, for example, carbon which has 4 valence electrons and needs to form 4 covalent bonds to fill its energy levels. Thus, 4 hydrogen atoms need only 4 more electrons. This is given by the silicon atom which has 4 valence electrons. Therefore, when a silicon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms, the resulting molecule, SiH₄, is a stable one.

Science againnnnnn helppp!!!!!

Nataliya [291]

Answer: this is not my own words :)

Learn how factors, such as exposure to the atmosphere, the composition of rock and climate affect the rate of weathering. Weathering is the mechanical or chemical process by which rocks are broken down. The weathering that happens to rocks can be understood by relating it to the digestion of a chocolate chip cookie

One of the factors that affects the rate of weathering is exposure to the atmosphere. ... Another factor that affects the rate of weathering is the composition of rock. Rocks are composed of minerals, which are solid substances found within rocks that have their own distinct chemical composition.
