Answer:

            Four electrons are present in the valence shell of Silicon.

Explanation:

                   Valence shell electrons are those electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. These valence shell electrons are responsible for in the formation of bonds with other atoms.

                   Silicon having atomic number 14 has fourteen electrons in its neutral state and has the electronic configuration as follow;

                                              1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p²

In given configuration the valence shell (outermost shell) is 3 and the number of electrons present in it are four i.e. 3s² and 3p² (2 + 2 = 4) respectively.

What term expresses the ratio of moles of reactants and products according to the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

A) mole ratio

Explanation:            

<em>A mole ratio</em>, also known as a mole-to-mole ratio, <em>is ​the ratio between the amounts in moles of one reactant/product to the moles of the other reactant/product. </em>This ratio is determined considering the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation. This ratio is used in chemical problems as a conversion factor between the compounds involved in the reaction.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

A baseball is thrown high into the air. As it travels upwards it loses speed and slowly comes to a stop high above the grove wha
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Potential energy

Explanation:

The thrown baseball is converting from kinetic energy into potential energy. When it finally stops at a particular height, it attains its maximum potential energy at the position or point.

  • Potential energy is the energy at rest of body.
  • Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of body.

The more a body speeds, the higher its kinetic energy attained.

As a body comes to rest, at a height, it attains potential energy.

The body during flight decreases in kinetic energy but increases its potential energy due to gravity pulling it to rest.

If this decay has a half life of 2.60 years, what mass of 72.5 g of sodium 22 will remain after 15.6 years
Vlad1618 [11]

Sodium-22 remain : 1.13 g

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

half-life = t 1/2=2.6 years

T=15.6 years

No=72.5 g

\tt Nt=72.5.\dfrac{1}{2}^{15.6/2.6}\\\\Nt=72.5.\dfrac{1}{2}^6\\\\Nt=1.13~g
