How many valence electrons does Arsenic have?

1 answer:

4 0

Arsenic's atomic number is 33.

Hence his electronic configuration is $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p$ hence his valence electrons are $4s^24p^3$ .

5 valence electrons

An electrochemical cell is constructed such that on one side a pure lead electrode is in contact with a solution containing Pb2+

Ugo [173]

Answer:

-490.7 K

Explanation:

Given:

[Ni^2+]= 0.4 M

[Pb^2+]=0.002 M

∆V= -0.012 V

VNi= -0.250V

VPb= -0.126V

F= 96500 C

R= 8.314 JK-1 mol-1

n= 2

From

T= -nF/R [∆V-(VNi-VPb)/ln [Pb2+]/[Ni2+]]

T= 2(96500)/8.314[ (-0.012) -(-0.250) - (-0.126))/ln[0.002]/[0.4]

T= 23213.856(0.112/(-5.298))

T= -490.7 K

Activity 7: Crossword Puzzle

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: 2. with two symmetrical shells - mirror images of each other.

the term "crinoid" means: 6. phylum where starfish and sea urchins belong

4. lived inside their shells: 1. exoskeletons are made up of this material

7. multicellular organisms that often live in colonies: 8. individuality of coral is called

Explanation:

Crinoid is a term that can be used to describe the radial symmetry of animals that have oral (side of mouth) and aboral surfaces (opposite to the mouth). It is characterized by the mouth at the top surface and surrounded by the arms for feeding it. This is a characteristic feature of animals like star fish and sea urchins and echinoderm animals.

The exoskeleton is a protective shell which protect the animal from the external environment like water, sunlight and predation.

The multicellular organisms that live in the colonies they form coral reef and individually the are called the coral polyp.

slader Consider the following reactions: A. uranium-238 emits an alpha particle; B. plutonium-239 emits an alpha parti- cle; C.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

For A: The equation is $_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{90}^{234}\textrm{Th}+_2^4\alpha$

For B: The equation is $_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}\rightarrow _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_2^4\alpha$

For C: The equation is $_{90}^{239}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{91}^{235}\textrm{Pa}+_{-1}^0\beta$

Explanation:

Alpha decay process is the process in which nucleus of an atom disintegrates into two particles. The first one which is the alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. This is also known as helium nucleus. The second particle is the daughter nuclei which is the original nucleus minus the alpha particle released.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha$

Beta decay process is defined as the process the neutrons get converted into an electron and a proton. The released electron is known as the beta particle. In this process, the atomic number of the daughter nuclei gets increased by a factor of 1 but the mass number remains the same.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$

For A: Uranium-238 emits an alpha particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{90}^{234}\textrm{Th}+_2^4\alpha$

For B: Plutonium-239 emits an alpha particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}\rightarrow _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_2^4\alpha$

For C: Thorium-239 emits a beta particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{90}^{239}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{91}^{235}\textrm{Pa}+_{-1}^0\beta$

Why ammonium is not a molecular ion

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Ammonium $(NH_{4}^+)$ is not a molecular ion because it is just a poly-atomic ion. A molecular ion has a "negative or positive charge" as a whole but the positive charge on here is not on the whole. So, it is a poly-atomic ion and not molecular ion.
