What is the relationship between valence electrons and the number of bonds that can be formed?

1 answer:

6 0

<span>Like the previous post states, the number of valence electrons (typically the group number for nonmetals)relates directly to the number of covalent bonds available. Additionally, when you exceed this number you create a cation and when you are less the number of potential bonds, you have created a anion.

Charles law gives the relationship between temperature of gas and volume of gas.
It states that for a fixed amount of gas, temperature is directly proportional to volume of gas.
V / T = k
where V- volume , T - temperature and k - constant
$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$
parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation.
T1 = 250 °C + 273 = 523 K
T2 = 150 °C + 273 = 423 K
Substituting the values in the equation,

$\frac{310 mL}{523 K} = \frac{V}{423K}$
V = 251 mL
the new volume is 251 mL

What is the bond angle between the hydrogen atoms in an ammonia (NH₃) molecule?

dimulka [17.4K]

There are 4 electron pairs (3 bonding and 1 lone pair) so the angle is 107 degrees. The 4 electron pairs are repelled to give a tetrahedral arrangement but the molecule has a pyrimidal shape due to the lone pair.

Is the number of total molecules on the left side of a balanced equation always equal to the number of total molecules on the ri

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

No, but the total mass of reactants must equal the total mass of products to be a balanced equation.

Example: Consider the following reaction ...

3H₂ + N₂ => 2NH₃ and 'amu' is atomic mass units (formula weights from periodic table)

In terms of molecules, there are 4 molecules on the left (3 molecular hydrogens (H₂) and 1 molecular nitrogen (N₂) and 2 molecules of ammonia on the right side of equation arrow. ∑reactant molecules ≠ ∑product molecules.

In terms of mass of reactants & mass of products, the 3H₂ + N₂ => 6amu + 28amu = 34amu & mass of products (2NH₃) => 2(14amu) + 6(1amu) = 34amu for sum of product masses.

∑mass reactants = ∑mass products <=> 34amu = 34amu.

The expression '∑mass reactants = ∑mass products' as applied to chemical equations is generally known as 'The Law of Mass Balance'.
