How many electrons will a non-metal generally have in its outer shell? 1 - 3 1 - 4 4 - 7 8
2 answers:
<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is 4-7.
<u>Explanation:</u>
A non-metal is defined as the element which gains electron to attain stable electronic configuration and to attain a negative ion which is anion.
Non-metals are the elements which belong to Group 14 to Group 17.
The valence electronic configuration of the elements:
- Belonging to Group 14 =
Number of valence electrons = 4
- Belonging to Group 16=
Number of valence electrons = 5
- Belonging to Group 16 =
Number of valence electrons = 6
- Belonging to Group 17 =
Number of valence electrons = 7
Hence, the correct answer is 4-7.

Answer:
The change in the pH (ΔpH) is 2,17
Explanation:
The reaction:
CH₃NH₂(aq) + H₂O(aq) ⇌ CH₃NH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻
<em>(1)</em>
In equilibrium, a solution of CH₃NH₂ 4,7M produces:
[CH₃NH₂] = 4,7 - x
[CH₃NH₃⁺] = x
[OH⁻] = x
Replacing in (1):
x² + 4,38x10⁻⁴x - 2,0586x10⁻³ = 0
The solutions are:
x = -0,0456 No physical sense. There are not negative concentrations.
x = 0,04515 Real answer.
The concentration of [OH⁻] is 0,04515 M.
As pOH = -log [OH⁻] And pH+pOH = 14. The pH of this solution is:
<em>pH = 12,65</em>
The addition of 6,7M produce this changes in concentrations:
[CH₃NH₂] = 4,656 + x
[CH₃NH₃⁺] = 6,74515 - x
[OH⁻] = 0,04515 - x
Replacing in (1) you will obtain:
x² - 6,7907x + 0,3025 = 0
Solving for x:
x = 6,74586 No physical sense
x = 0,04484 Real answer.
Thus, [OH⁻] = 0,04515 - 0,044842 = 3,08x10⁻⁴M
pOH = 3,51.
<em>pH = 10,49</em>
Thus ΔpH is 12,65 - 10,49 = <em>2,16 ≈ 2,17</em>
I hope it helps!
