Nonmetallic elements form ions by _____ valence electrons to complete their outer shell.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Brums [2.3K]3 years ago
7 0

<u>Answer:</u> Non-metals form ions when they gain electrons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.

  • When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.
  • When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.

Metals are the elements which have a tendency to loose electrons and thus they form cations. <u>Example:</u> Sodium will loose 1 electron to form Na^+ ion.

Non-metals are the elements which have a tendency to gain electrons and thus they form anions. <u>Example:</u> Fluorine will gain 1 electron to form F^- ion.

Hence, non-metals form ions when they gain electrons.

likoan [24]
We know that molarity = mol/L, so:

1.5 M = x mol/0.345 L

1.5 M * 0.345 L = x mol => 0.5175 mol

0.5175 mol/0.250 L = 2.07 M

Your new molarity of the solution will be 2.07 M.

The number of grams of H2 in 1470 mL of H2 gas. ​
Lorico [155]

Answer:

0.1313 g.

Explanation:

  • It is known that at STP, 1.0 mole of ideal gas occupies 22.4 L.
  • Suppose that hydrogen behaves ideally and at STP conditions.

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

1.0 mol of hydrogen occupies → 22.4 L.

??? mol of hydrogen occupies → 1.47 L.

∴ The no. of moles of hydrogen that occupies 1.47 L = (1.0 mol)(1.47 L)/(22.4 L) = 6.563 x 10⁻² mol.

  • Now, we can get the no. of grams of hydrogen in 6.563 x 10⁻² mol:

<em>The no. of grams of hydrogen = no. of hydrogen moles x molar mass of hydrogen</em> = (6.563 x 10⁻² mol)(2.0 g/mol) = <em>0.1313 g.</em>
