What does the number of valence electrons determine?

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

Group 1A element sodium combines with Group 7A element chlorine to form sodium chloride or table salt. Based on this information
Ymorist [56]
The answer is Na < Cl

Chlorine is more electronegative than sodium because this follows the trend of the periodic table. The trend states that an element's electronegativity increases from left to right of a period and bottom to up of a group. Since sodium and chlorine are from the same period, and chlorine is at the right of sodium, chlorine is more electronegative.

In the experiment, you added water to the reaction vessel after the reaction was complete, but we did not discuss why. Based on
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Water was added to the reaction after the completion of the reaction so as to lower the solubility if the product in the solution therefore, the product can be precipitated out. On adding water the reaction moves in forward direction and more product is formed. (By Le Chatelier's principle). Thus, the precipitation occurs. Hence, option A is correct.

HELP ASAP PLS Is an oxygen ion and fluorine ion bigger and why?
Sliva [168]

Answer:

From top to bottom of the periodic table ions will increase in radii. However, now left to right the radius is more of a function of the number of electrons. ... Similarly, O2- will be larger than F- as both have 10 electrons but Z=8 for oxygen and Z=9 for fluorine.
