Explain why Lithium (Li) and Nitrogen (N)/ have different amounts of valence electrons but

Chemistry
1 answer:
sveticcg [70]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Li⁺, Na⁺ (group 1);  N⁻³ (group 15)

Explanation:

Li and Na belong to group 1 of the periodic table so they coincide in the valence electrons which, being group 1, is a single electron.

They are very willing to lose it because they have little electronic affinity. In addition, both elements enter the alkali metal group (all of group 1)

They are cations, as they make ionic bonds.

N is an element from group 15. It is a nonmetal and has 5 electrons in its last layer as all the elements that make up its group, P, As, Sb so it would subtract 3 more electrons to have its last complete level and thus reach noble gas configuration.

Nitrogen can make covalent bonds, for example with O, where they form anions because it can gain electrons.

How much more sodium, in grams, is in a 3M solution than 2M soultion?
ipn [44]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

23 grams Na

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Molarity is the concentration of a solution in moles per liter.
  • Therefore, a solution with a molarity of 3M contains 3 moles of solute in 1 liter of solution, while a solution with 2M contains 2 moles of solute in 1 liter of solution.

Thus, 3 M = 3 moles/liter

         2 M = 2 moles /liter

The difference is 1 mole/Liter

But, 1 mole of sodium 23 g

Therefore;

Mass of sodium = moles × Atomic mass

                           = 1 mole × 23 g/mol

                           = 23 g

Therefore a 3 M solution contains 23 g of sodium more than a 2 M solution.

Which one of the following statements is not true?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

When magma reaches the surface, its dissolved gas content increases is true

<u>Explanation</u>:

The volcanic eruptions happen because of magma that is expelled on the earth’s surface. At the earth’s depth, all magma have gas dissolved in liquid. When the pressure has decreased the magma rises towards the earth’s surface creating a separate vapour phase.  

As pressure reduces the volume of gas will  expands and giving magma its 'explosive character'. Thus, as magma reaches the surface the dissolved gas content decreases and magma comes out of earth’s surface.
