13. How many valence electrons does an atom

Chemistry
1 answer:
Scilla [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 3

Explanation:

If an atom has 5 electrons, 5 neutrons and 5 protons, it means that the element is Boron. Boron is situated in the third group A, that means that is has 3 elements in its outermost shell.

Also, if we do the electronic configuration:

                                                                         1s² 2s²2p¹

If we count the number of electron in the second level of energy, the result will be:    2 in s and 1 in p  = 3. Those are the valence electrons.

What is produced at each electrode in the electrolysis of agf(aq)?
Rzqust [24]
AgF consists of Ag+ and F- ions, which are fully dissociated in aqueous solution. When solving electrolysis problems, it is important to remember that water itself may also be a subject to electrolysis. Therefore, determining which species is oxidized and which species is reduced depends on selecting the processes that are the most energetically favorable. The most preferred reduction reaction will be  Ag+ + e- = Ag (Emf=0.7996 V) which will occur at the cathode, on the other hand, the most favorable oxidation reaction will be
2H2O = O2 +4H+ + 4e- (Emf = -1.3 V) that will occur at the anode. Thus, the product at the anode is oxygen gas and at the cathode electrode is silver metal.

What are similarities between global warming and the greenhouse effect
n200080 [17]
The greenhouse effect is rightly called that because greenhouses allow heat to enter, but doesn't allow heat to leave, which warms plants.

On earth however, it's much bigger. Our own atmosphere acts similarly to this; it allows heat in, but doesn't allow it to leave which heats up the planet and causes global warming.
