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.

PLEASE HELP!!!
NNADVOKAT [17]

When you are collecting DNA, you could be looking for a few different things. A few examples could be skin cells, strands of hair, or possibly even a fingernail. Anything that comes from a person, including blood or saliva can be potential DNA that could help investigators to link a person back to a crime.

Investigators do not need a warrant for analyzing crime scenes due to the fact of the dangers of the fire. You must work quickly because accelerants tend to evaporate within days, sometimes hours. It is also important to note that finding the origin of the fire is very important, to make sure it won't be reignited. Debris is usually cleaned away quickly to ensure health and safety issues.

The point of origin of a fire is the lowest point, since fire burns upwards.

High explosive: Ignite almost instantly, like dynamite and TNT. Two different types are primary and secondary.

<em>Primary: easily ignited, very sensitive to heat and friction. often used to ignite other explosives. </em>

<em>Secondary: much less sensitive to heat and friction, might be ignited using other explosive materials. TNT and dynamite are both secondary. </em>

Low explosive: decompose slowly and include black and smokeless powder. They are the most common type of explosives, and are readily available.

In which layer(s) would a solid cube with 6 cm sides and mass of 270 g float? Explain.
DIA [1.3K]
The buoyancy of an object is dictated by its density. So let us calculate for density, where:density = mass / volume
Calculate the volume first of a solid cube:volume = (6 cm)^3 = 216 cm^3 = 216 mL
Therefore density is:density = 270 g / 216 mLdensity = 1.25 g / mL
Therefore this object will float in the layer in which the density is more than 1.25 g / mL.

How are renewable fuels different from fossil fuels
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Renewable energy

Explanation:

on the other hand, typically emits less CO2 than fossil fuels. In fact, renewables like solar and wind power—apart from construction and maintenance—don't emit any CO2 at all. With renewable energy, you can breathe easier, stay cooler, and create a more comfortable world for generations to come.
