How to determine the number of valence electrons using the As and Bs system

Chemistry
1 answer:
xz_007 [3.2K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:Use the K L M N shell orbit

Explanation: Valence electrons are those electrons on the outermost shell of an atomic nucleus.

The K L M N electron shell is named by a spectroscopist called Charles G. Barkla, who discovered the A X-rays ( high energy rays) and the B X-rays ( low energy rays), he later renamed the A X-rays K X-rays which is the Energy level orbit, and the B X-rays was also renamed to be the L M N and so on.

PLEASE SEE PICTURE ATTACHED

THE PICTURE SHOWS HOW TO DETERMINE VALENCE ELECTRON USING THE As AND B's WHICH ARE THE K L M N SHELL ORBIT, USING SILICON AS AN EXAMPLE.

The maximum number of electron in the K orbit is 2

The maximum number of electron in the L M N shell is 8

Therefore the number of electron found in the outermost shell becomes the number of Valence electron in that element.

The equilibrium constant for the gas phase reaction
stellarik [79]
The equilibrium constant is found by [product]/[reactant]

If the equilibrium constant is very small, such as 4.20 * 10^-31, then that means at equilibrium there is very little product and a lot of reactant.
And likewise, if there is a lot of product formed, and very little reactant, then the K value will be very large, which tells us that it is predominantly product.

At equilibrium, for any reaction, there will always be some reactant and some product present. There cannot be zero reactant or zero product. Also keep in mind that the equilibrium constant is dependent on temperature.

At equilibrium, for your reaction, it is predominantly reactants.

Why do different substances have different Odors?
mixer [17]

Answer:

Substances generate a smell when their molecules land on so-called olfactory neurones in our noses (which, for some things, is a pretty unpleasant thought). ... But this fails to explain why some molecules with similar shapes can smell completely different, while others with quite different shapes can have a similar scent.

An expandable container of oxygen has a volume of 30.0mL at a pressure of 36.7psi. If the pressure of the oxygen is reduced to 2
ELEN [110]

Answer:44.04mL

Explanation:Parameters given

V1 = 30.0mL

P1 = 36.7psi

P2 = 25.0psi

V2 = ??

From Boyle's gas law, which states that "the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature"

This means that,

the pressure of a gas tends to increase as the volume of the container decreases, and also the pressure of a gas tends to decrease as the volume of the container increases.

Mathematically, Boyle's can be represented as shown below

P= k/V

Where P = Pressure, V = Volume and k is constant

Therefore,

PV = k

P1V1 = P2V2 =PnVn

Using the formula

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = P1V1/P2

V2 = (36.7psi × 30.0mL) / 25.0psi

V2 = 1101.0/25.0

V2 = 44.04mL

Of the reactions below, only ________ is not spontaneous. A. Zn (s) + 2HI (aq) → ZnI2(aq) + H2 (g) B. 2Ag (s) + 2HNO3 (aq) → 2Ag
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

2Ag (s) + 2HNO3 (aq) → 2AgNO3 (aq) + H2(g)

Explanation:

Usually, metals displace hydrogen from dilute acids to form the corresponding salt of the metal and hydrogen. This in turn depends on the position of the metal in the electrochemical series. Metals below hydrogen in the electrochemical series cannot spontaneously displace it from dilute acids. Silver is below hydrogen in the electrochemical series, hence it cannot spontaneously displace hydrogen from dilute nitric acid as shown in the answer.
