Andreas93 [3]3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

Two electrons.

Explanation:

Calcium is the element of second group and forth period. The electronic configuration of Calcium is - 2, 8, 8, 2 or $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2$

There are 2 valence electrons of Calcium.

Iodine is the element of seventeenth group and fifth period. The electronic configuration of Iodine is - 2, 8, 18, 18, 7 or $[Kr]4d^{10}5s^25p^5$

There are 7 valence electrons of iodine.

Calcium iodide, $CaI_2$ is formed when 2 valence electrons of calcium are loosed and they are gained by 2 atoms of iodine.

Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: ,

Serga [27]

Bynari means that the compound is formed by two kind of elements.

You have listed three ions, V 5+, Cl - and O 2-.

Binary ionic compounds are formed by a positive ion and a negative ion, so the possible ionic compound formed by the listed ions are:

1) VCl5, where the number 5 next to Cl is a subscript.

2) V2O5, where the number 2 next to V and the number 5 next to O are subscripts.

Subscripts are used to indicate the number of atoms of each element in the formula.

So, the empirical formula searched are VCl5 and V2O5.

I can give you other examples with more ions.

Ca (2+) and S(2-) => Ca2S2 => CaS

Na(+) and F(-) => NaF

Cs(+) and Br(-) => CsBr

What are covalent bonds

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding

A gas fills a balloon at a temperature of 27 C and 101.325 kPa of pressure. What will the pressure of the balloon be if the gas

JulijaS [17]

135.1‬kPa

Explanation:

Given parameters:

T1 = 27°C

P1 = 101.325 kPa

T2 = 127°C

Unknown:

P2 = ?

Solution:

Using a derivative of the combined gas law where we assume that the gas has a constant volume, we can solve for the unknown.

At constant volume:

$\frac{P1}{T1} = \frac{P2}{T2}$

P1 is the initial pressure

T1 is the initial temperature

P2 is the final pressure

T2 is the final temperature

Take the given temperature to K

T1 = 27 + 273 = 300K

T2 = 127 + 273 = 400K

Input the variables:

$\frac{101.325}{300} = \frac{P2}{400}$

P2 = 135.1‬kPa
