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.

A gas has a volume of 25.6 L at a temperature of 278 K. What will be the new temperature, in C, if
Inessa05 [86]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: -97.37° C

<h2>Why?</h2>

According to the Charles and Gay-Lussac's Law we have that:

\frac{V}{T}=k

Where:

<em>v</em> is the volume of the gas

<em>t</em> is the temperature of the gas

<em>k </em>is the proportionality constant

From the Gay-Lussac's Law we also have the following relation:

\frac{V1}{T1}=\frac{V2}{T2}

Since we need to find the new temperature (T2) we can use the last equation:

\frac{V1}{T1}=\frac{V2}{T2}\\\\T2=\frac{V2*T1}{V1}=\frac{16.2L*278K}{25.6L}=175.92K

We are asked to find the temperature in Celsius degrees, so, we must convert the result (in K) to Celsius degrees:

Celsius=K-273.15=175.92-273.15=-97.37

So, the temperature is -97.37° C

Have a nice day!

How is electronegativity used in determining the ionic or covalent character of the bonding between two elements?
madam [21]

Answer:

If the electronegativity difference between bonded atoms are too much high ionic bonds are formed if the electronegativity diference is 0.4 or less than 0.4 non polar covalnet bond formed the difference greater than 0.4 polar covalent bond formed.

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

Why are some metals reactive than others?
Naddik [55]
<span> some elements have their outer electrons more tightly bound than others. Those who have less tightly bound electrons are more reactive. After this it gets more complex in explaining why they are bound with different strengths. </span>
