What does the number of valence electrons determine?

Chemistry
1 answer:
N76 [4]3 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.

Methane and water react to form hydrogen and carbon monoxide, like this:
Usimov [2.4K]

Based on Le Chatelier's principle, if a system at equilibrium is disturbed by changes in the temperature, pressure or concentration, then the equilibrium will shift in a direction to undo the effect of the induced change.

The given reaction is endothermic i.e, heat is supplied:

CH4(g) + H2O (g) + heat ↔ 3H2(g) + CO(g)

a) When the temperature is lowered, heat is being removed from the system. The reaction will move in a direction to produce more heat i.e. to the left.

Hence, the pressure of CH4 will increase and equilibrium will shift to the left

b) When the temperature is raised, heat is being added to the system. The reaction will move in a direction to consume the added heat i.e. to the right.

Hence, the pressure of CO will increase and equilibrium will shift to the right
