Do atoms lend and borrow electrons from inner shells

1 answer:

4 0

False. They don't borrow electrons at all. They already have their respective electron affinities. This is called as electronegativity, and it's an occurence where it already has its own from its actual structure. It never borrows any electrons at all.

Write Qc for each of the following:(1) Gaseous sulfur tetrafluoride reacts with liquid water to produce gaseous sulfur dioxide a

snow_tiger [21]

Answer : The expression for reaction quotient will be :

(1) $Q_c=\frac{[SO_2][HF]^4}{[SF_4]}$

(2) $Q_c=\frac{[O_2]^2[Xe]}{[XeF_2]}$

Explanation :

Reaction quotient $(Q_c)$ : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.

(1) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$SF_4(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow SO_2(g)+4HF(g)$

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted. So, the expression for reaction quotient will be :

$Q_c=\frac{[SO_2][HF]^4}{[SF_4]}$

(2) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2MoO_2(s)+XeF_2(g)\rightarrow 2MoF(l)+Xe(g)+2O_2(g)[/texIn this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted. So, the expression for reaction quotient will be :[tex]Q_c=\frac{[O_2]^2[Xe]}{[XeF_2]}$

Nucleotide bases bonded to a sugar phosphate backbone make up _____.

Alchen [17]

Nucleotide bases bonded to a sugar phosphate backbone make up nucleic acids such as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (<span>ribonucleic acid)</span>. Nucleotides have three major parts: sugars, phosphates, and a nitrogenous base. DNA uses four nitrogenous bases: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. RNA uses the same bases except for Thymine, which is replaced by Uracil.

A drop of vinegar ( a weak acid ) is placed on a sample of each of the materials below. Which will show the most active reaction

professor190 [17]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Marble is also known as calcium carbonate and its chemical formula is $CaCO_{3}$ .

When it combines with vinegar then it results in the formation of calcium acetate which is a water soluble compound along with the release of carbon dioxide which occurs in the form of bubbles and water.

The reaction is as follows.

$CaCO_{3} + CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow Ca(CH_{3}COOH)_{2} + H_{2}O + CO_{2}$

Whereas vinegar being a weak acid will not react with glass, copper and steel.
