How to determine how many valence electrons an element has?

1 answer:

8 0

Usually (ignoring transition metals, as they kinda get trickier), the element's valency can be found out by its group (column) number. Usually, we ignore the transition metal block while counting these columns, so Aluminium is in group 3, for example. Since Aluminium is in group 3, it has 3 valence electrons.

What is the specific heat of a substance if a mass of 10.0 kg increases in temperature from 10.0°C to 70.0°C when 2,520 J of hea

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Heat energy can be calculated by using the specific heat of a substance multiplying it to the mass of the sample and the change in temperature. It is expressed as:
Energy = mCΔT2520= 10.0(C) (70.0 - 10.0)C = 4.2 J/ kg K
