When we talk about the gram weight of any food item, it may or may not include the gram weight of its different nutrient molecules. It may have different reasons to it. One of the reasons can be because the nutrient molecule might contain a large percentage or proportion of water. Also, the nutrient molecules might be insoluble or indigestible fiber so it does not add up to the total gram weight of food.
Answer:
Below are some patterns in the charge for elements in each group.
Group 1 elements : 1 valence electron and form ions with charge +1
Group 2 elements : 2 valence electrons and form ions with charge + 2
Group 3 elements : 3 valence electrons and form ions with charge + 3(there are some exceptions as well)
Elements in groups 4 and 5 are unpredictable also the D block elements consist of multiple oxidation states..
Group 6 elements : 6 valence electrons, form ions with charge -2
Group 7 elements: 7 valence electrons, form ions with charge -1
The octet rule is being followed, the elements form either ionic bond or covalent bond to fulfill it.
eg: when a K atom forms a K+ ion, the ion has the same electron configuration as the noble gas Ar (argon).
When an O atom gains 2 electrons to form the O²⁻ ion, the ion has the same electron configuration as the noble gas Ne (neon).
Note: Boron (B) is in Group 3 but doesn't form ions.
The question is incomplete, the complete question is:
The element tin has the following number of electrons per shell: 2.8. 18, 18, 4. Notice that the number of electrons in the outer shell of a tin atom is the same as that for a carbon atom. Therefore, what must be true of tin? Tin is a polar atom and can bind to other polar atoms. Tin has a high molecular weight to give tin-containing molecules greater stabilty. All of the above Tin conform single covalent bonds with other elements, but not double or triple covalent bonds Tincan bind to up to four elements at a time
Answer:
Tin can bind to up to four elements at a time
Explanation:
Certain important points were made in the question about tin and one of them is that tin is an element in the same group as carbon hence it has the same number of valence electrons as carbon.
Carbon is always tetra valent. The tetra valency of carbon is the idea that carbon forms four bonds.
If tin has the same number of valence electrons as carbon, then, tin can bind to up to four elements at a time
It would be 1A bc then the +1 charge will cancel out chlorine’s -1 charge
