Fluorine is a nonmetal and as such it would need to take in or obtain an electron from a metal to have a stable octet, or full number of 8 electrons in its valence shell. Thus due to the indifference of electrons and protons it becomes an anion, a negatively charged ion.
Answer:
308 moles of sodium
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the chemical reaction between sodium metal (Na) and water (H₂O) is the following:
2 Na(s) + 2 H₂O → 2 NaOH(aq) + H₂(g)
From the equation, we can see that 2 moles of Na react with 2 moles of H₂O to give 2 moles of NaOH and 1 mol of H₂ (hydrogen gas). So the stoichiometric mole ratio between Na and H₂ is: 2 mol Na/1 mol H₂. Thus, we multiply the mole ratio by the moles of H₂ to be produced to obtain the moles of Na required:
moles of Na required = 2 mol Na/1 mol H₂ x 154 moles H₂ = 308 moles Na
Therefore, 308 moles of sodium are needed to produce 154 moles of hydrogen gas.
This is what I got. Hope it helps :)
The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second in vacuum.
It's somewhat slower in any material substance, and different in
each substance.
(That's 186,282.4 miles per second.)
An example of an atom that has no charge is one that has a. 2 protons, 2 electrons, and 1 neutron.
To be neutral an atom must have the <em>same number</em> of protons (+) and electrons (-).
Only then will the <em>charges cancel</em> and give a neutral atom.
