Answer:

In chemistry, a radical is an atom, molecule, or ion that has an unpaired valence electron. With some exceptions, these unpaired electrons make radicals highly chemically reactive. Many radicals spontaneously dimerize. Most organic radicals have short lifetimes.

Give the chemical formula and systematic name for aurous sulfide, which is named using the older nomenclature. spelling counts!
Bingel [31]
Aurous is a cation of gold. Gold takes the name "aurum" (Au) with atomic number of 79. In its purest form, the element is bright, slightly yellow, soft, ductile, and malleable. The charge of aurous is +1. Sulfide, on the other hand, has a charge of -2. 

Hence, the chemical formula of the compound is Au₂S and its systematic name is gold (I) sulfide.

Silicon is an element that is found directly underneath carbon in the periodic table and thus has similar properties to carbon,
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

            Four electrons are present in the valence shell of Silicon.

Explanation:

                   Valence shell electrons are those electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. These valence shell electrons are responsible for in the formation of bonds with other atoms.

                   Silicon having atomic number 14 has fourteen electrons in its neutral state and has the electronic configuration as follow;

                                              1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p²

In given configuration the valence shell (outermost shell) is 3 and the number of electrons present in it are four i.e. 3s² and 3p² (2 + 2 = 4) respectively.

Which particle model diagram represents xenon at stp?
Readme [11.4K]

The model that should show the corresct representation of xenon gas is one in which the gas molecules  are isolated and monoatomic.

<h3>What is a noble gas?</h3>

A noble gas is a member of group 18 of the periodic table. Noble gases are known not to interact with each other and occur as monoatomic particles.

The images are not shown here hence the question is incomplete. However, we do know that any of the models that show individual monoatomic particles is a representation of xenon gas.
