Answer:

The correct answer is 4). A total of 8?valence electrons

Explanation:

The argon corresponds to a noble or inert gas, like Helium, and has its complete octet in the last layer.

Answer:

4. A total of 8 valence electrons

Explanation:

All atom in their ground state is at the actual state of electronic configuration. Argon has 18 number of electrons therefore, representing the electronic configuration using the Spdf  rule is 1s²2s²2p6 3s²3p6 and also the configuration of argon is computed as 2 8 8 . The argon atom has fulfilled the octet rule . The valence/outer electron(8) is fully filled and therefore find it hard to give or accept any electron to form bonding.  

Elements with fully filled octet configuration are known as inert gas or noble gas because they rarely bond with other atom of elements.

How many moles of cei3 are in 9.42 × 1021 formula units of cei3 (cerium(iii) iodide; a bright, water, soluble solid). answer in
PIT_PIT [208]
1 mol of any substance is made of 6.022 x 10²³ units.
When its 1 mol of a formula, its made of 6.022 x 10²³ formula units
Therefore if 6.022 x 10²³ formula units of CeI₃ make up 1 mol of CeI₃
Then 9.42 x 10²¹ formula units make up - 1/(6.022 x 10²³) x (9.42 x 10²¹) = 0.0156 mol of CeI₃
Therefore number of moles of CeI₃ - 0.0156 mol

10. A small gold nugget has volume of 0.87 cm3. What is its mass if the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

16.791 grams

Explanation:

The density formula is:

d=\frac{m}{v}

Rearrange the formula for m, the mass. Multiply both sides of the equation by v.

d*v=\frac{m}{v}*v

d*v=m

The mass of the gold nugget can be found by multiplying the density and volume. The density is 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter and the volume is 0.87 cubic centimeters.

d= 19.3 g/cm^3\\v-0.87 cm^3

Substitute the values into the formula.

m=d*v

m= 19.3 g/cm^3*0.87 cm^3

Multiply. Note that the cubic centimeters, or cm³ will cancel each other out.

m=19.3 g*0.87

m=16.791 g

The mass of the gold nugget is 16.791 grams.

1.What one factor identifies an atom as a specific element? . . Choices: the number of protons. . the atomic mass. . the number
Mnenie [13.5K]
Question 1. What one factor identifies an atom as a specific element? Answer: the number of protons. Remember that the atoms of a same element have the same number of protons, and the atoms of different elements cannot have the same number of protons. That permits to order the elements according to the atomic number (number of protons) in the periodic table. Question 2.An atom of fluorine has an atomic number of 9 and an atomic mass of 19. The atom contains Answer: 9 protons, 9 electrons, and 10 neutrons : because the atomic number is the number of protons, the number of electrons must be equal to the number of protons (because the atom is neutral), and the mass number is the number or protons plus the number of neutrons: 9 protons + 10 neutrons = 19 mass number (atomic mass). Question 33.Experiments with cathode ray tubes led to a new model of the atom, sometimes called the \"plum pudding\" model, because of the discovery of the <span>. Answer. electron ... when electron was discovered JJ Thompson proposed the plum pudding model, in which the atom was a solid positively charged sphere with electrons distributed inside it.</span>
