What does the number of valence electrons determine?

Chemistry

N76 [4]4 years ago
4 0

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an element on the periodic table. Atoms want to be able to have a full outer shell and they can share or trade electrons in order to achieve this. Valence electrons are also super super important in chemical reactions. The number of valence electrons determines what group that specific atom or element is in on the periodic table. This affects the reactivity of the element.

Consider the following set of ions: Al3+; Li+, Rb+, [(C4H9)4N+].
krok68 [10]

Hey there!:

a) Cations which are lowest size generally forms adopts more number of water molecules around it. Such kind of Cations forms largest hydrated ions. Among given cations, Li+ is smallest one and (C4H9)4N+ is largest one. So, Li+ ion forms largest hydrated ion.

b) Organic ligands or alkyl chains contained Cations are hydrophobic in nature due to its low polar nature. Among given (C₄H₉)4N⁺ cation is hydrophobic in nature.

c) Size of cation inversely proportional to the hydrated sphere or number of water molecules attached. So, in the given Cations  (C₄H₉)4N⁺ is largest cation which attaches fewest water molecules.

d) Charge on the cation makes it more electrostatic maker. But size is inversily proportional to electrostatic property. (C₄H₉)4N⁺ is electrostatic structure breaker.

e) Al⁺³ has highest charge. So it is most electrostatic structure maker.

Hope this helps!
