What are valence electrons of an atom used for?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Murrr4er [49]3 years ago
5 0

In chemistry and physics, a valence electron is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

Shown here is a person shaving.  Under magnification, the shaving foam might look like the image above the shaver. What type of mixture does the foam demonstrate? Give your reasoning.

Foam is a colloid. Colloids includes gas dispersed in a liquid and it also includes gas dispersed in a solid

On the next slide, you can select any answers you want, or you can select nothing. There's no wrong answer.

A student squeezes several oranges to make a glass of orange juice. The juice contains pieces of orange pulp mixed with the juice. Explain why this drink can be considered a combination of a suspension and a solution.

The juice contains sugars, plant pigments, and other chemicals dissolved in water. This is a solution. The pieces of orange pulp will rise to the top or settle to the bottom of the juice if it is allowed to sit. The pieces of pulp mixed with the juice form a suspension

On the right side, you can also select any answers or none at all. There is no wrong answer.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

There are two main types of mixtures, homogeneous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures. The components of a homogeneous mixture are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. The properties of a mixture are the same everywhere. The components of a heterogeneous mixture are not evenly distributed. Different regions of this mixture have different   properties.

Particles in a homogeneous mixture do not settle down or separate when left alone. Particles in a heterogeneous mixture eventually separate or settle when left alone.

  • Colloids are a type of heterogeneous mixture that do not naturally settle out quickly, and can be separated with different methods.
  • A suspension is another type of heterogeneous mixtures in which the components of the mixture will quickly settle out or can be filtered or separated.

Here are photos of Edge just incase.

Vladimir79 [104]
If the person had clogged arteries and high blood pressure, then went on a healthy diet, the person would start losing weight. They would have a more stable blood pressure (since they are eating healthy foods, with less saturated fat) and the clogged arteries would look significantly better. He/she might lose her/his risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc. Most of her/his health issues would start to balance out if they started eating a diet low in saturated fat.

I hope this helps!

A serving of soup contains 5.0 g of fat, 20.0 g of carbohydrates, and 3.0 g of protein. Determine how many kilocalories (kcal) a
marta [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of kilocalories contained in the given serving of soup is 0.137 kCal

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>As per the USDA:</u>

Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, protein provides 4 calories per gram, and fat provides 9 calories per gram.

We are given

Mass of fat in the soup serving = 5.0 g

Mass of carbohydrates in the soup serving = 20.0 g

Mass of protein in the soup serving = 3.0 g

Conversion factor used:  1 kCal = 1000 Cal

Applying unitary method:

  • <u>For Fat:</u>

1 gram of fat provides 9 calories

So, 5.0 gram of fat will provide = \frac{9}{1}\times 5.0=45Cal=0.045kCal

  • <u>For Carbohydrates:</u>

1 gram of carbohydrates provides 4 calories

So, 20.0 gram of carbohydrates will provide =\frac{4}{1}\times 20.0=80Cal=0.080kCal

  • <u>For Proteins:</u>

1 gram of proteins provides 4 calories

So, 3.0 gram of fat will provide = \frac{4}{1}\times 3=12Cal=0.012kCal

Total kilocalories per serving = [0.045 + 0.080 + 0.012] kCal = 0.137 kCal

Hence, the amount of kilocalories contained in the given serving of soup is 0.137 kCal
