Why do valence electrons form bonds to create molecules and compounds?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ksju [112]3 years ago
3 0

Valence electrons form bonds to create molecules and compounds because A. they are weaker than the electrons found closer to the nucleus.

A better way of saying it is that the valence electrons are <em>less strongly attracted</em> to the nucleus.

All electrons have the same size, but the <em>orbitals</em> they occupy have different sizes.

Write 10,847,100 in Scientific Notation with 4 significant figures.
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The number 10,847,100 in Scientific Notation is 1.0847x10^{7}

Explanation:

Scientific notation is an easy form to write long numbers and it is commonly used in the scientific field. To write a long number in a shorter way it is necessary to 'move' the decimal point to the left the number of positions that are necessary until you get a unit. Then you write the number and multiplied it by 10 raised to the number of positions you moved the decimal point. In this case, it is necessary to move the decimal point 7 positions so, we multiply the number by 10 raised to 7.

An ideal gas is allowed to expand from 5.40 L to 35.1 L at constant temperature. By what factor does the volume increase?
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

a) 6.5

b) pressure decreases

c)22 atm

Explanation:

Since the initial volume V1 is 5.40 L and the final volume V2 is 35.1 L, the ratio of V2:V1= 35.1/5.40= 6.5 hence the volume increases by a factor of 6.5.

When the volume increases, the pressure decreases accordingly in accordance with Boyle's law. Boyle's law states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature.

c) From Boyle's law

Initial volume V1= 5.40 L

Final volume V2= 35.1 L

Initial pressure P1= 143 ATM

Final pressure P2 = the unknown

P1V1= P2V2

P2= P1V1/V2

P2 = 143 × 5.40/ 35.1

P2= 22 atm

A weather balloon was initially at a pressure of 0.950 atm, and its volume was 35.0 L. The pressure decreased to 0.750 atm, with
puteri [66]

Answer: The change in volume will be 9.30 L

Explanation:

To calculate the new pressure, we use the equation given by Boyle's law. This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.

The equation given by this law is:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1\text{ and }V_1 are initial pressure and volume.

P_2\text{ and }V_2 are final pressure and volume.

We are given:

P_1=0.950atm\\V_1=35.0L\\P_2=0.750atm\\V_2=?L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.950\times 35.0L=0.750\times V_2\\\\V_2=44.3L

The change in volume will be (44.3-35.0)L = 9.30 L
