Will bromine react with sodium and why?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Archy [21]3 years ago
4 0

<span><span>When you write down the electronic configuration of bromine and sodium, you get this

Na:
Br: </span></span>

<span><span />So here we the know the valence electrons for each;</span>

<span><span>Na:  (2e)
Br:  (7e, you don't count for the d orbitals)

Then, once you know this, you can deduce how many bonds each can do and you discover that bromine can do one bond since he has one electron missing in his p orbital, but that weirdly, since the s orbital of sodium is full and thus, should not make any bond.

However, it is possible for sodium to come in an excited state in wich he will have sent one of its electrons on an higher shell to have this valence configuration:</span></span>

<span><span /></span><span><span>

</span>where here now it has two lonely valence electrons, one on the s and the other on the p, so that it can do a total of two bonds.</span><span>That's why bromine and sodium can form </span>

<span>

Archy [21]

Answer:

Search by reactants (P 2O 5, H 2O) and by products (H 3PO 4)

H2O + P2O5 → H3PO4

H2O + HNO3 + P2O5 → H3PO4 + N2O5

Is is true or false that ocean currents affect the climate I certain regions on earth​
vfiekz [6]

True. Coastal regions are affected if it is warm currents over the ocean it make for a higher temperature over the land, if it's a colder current over the ocean it makes for temperatures to drop over land. This happens when the wind blows in from the sea.

Which element most likely has the same number of valence electrons as silicon(si)?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Carbon, germanium, tin and lead.

Explanation:

The silicon is belong to the carbon family. There are five elements in carbon family carbon, silicon, germanium, tin and lead. These five elements are present in same group i.e group fourteen. The elements present in same group have same number of valance electrons.

For example.

Carbon electronic configuration:

C₆ = [He]  2s² 2p²

Silicon electronic configuration:

Si₁₄ = [Ne] 3s² 3p²

Germanium electronic configuration:

Ge₃₂ = [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p²

Tin electronic configuration:

Sn₅₀ = [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p²

Lead electronic configuration:

Pb₈₂ = [Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6s² 6p²

we can see that in case of all elements there are four valance electrons, which are equal to the valance electrons of silicon.

True or false? The molar mass of a gas determines the amount of kinetic energy of the gas.
HACTEHA [7]
The answer is false..............<span>kinetic theory of gases is a topic that can explain many everyday observations. Have you ever wondered why water boils faster at higher altitudes? Or why inflatable pool toys seem flat after sitting in a cold garage? How about why you can smell a candle all throughout the house? All of these phenomena and many more can be explained by the kinetic theory of gases.</span>
