Nonmetals rarely lose electrons in chemical reactions because?

Chemistry

ziro4ka [17]3 years ago
4 0
The reason for this is because nonmetals, have close to fulfilling an octet and need to gain few more electrons to do this, not to lose more. Nonmetals, because of the fact they need only few more electrons to satisfy their octet they would receive or share electrons to do this.

The property that nonmetals have are that they are very electronegative, they possess a strong affinity to pull electron density closer, because they possess fewer electron shells and possess even protons this allows for this.

How Non-Polar Molecule disolves in Non-Polar Molecule?
sergeinik [125]

=)

Explanation:

Nonpolar compounds do not dissolve in water. The attractive forces that operate between the particles in a nonpolar compound are weak dispersion forces. However, the nonpolar molecules are more attracted to themselves than they are to the polar water molecules.

What volume of a 2.0M NaOH(aq) is needed to completely neutralize 24 milliliters of 0.5M HCl(aq)?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

V_{base}=6.0mL

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, by considering that the reaction between sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid is in a 1:1 mole ratio of these two reactants, we are able to use the following equation relating the concentration and volume of each one:

M_{acid}V_{acid}=M_{base}V_{base}

In such a way, by solving for the volume of the base, we will obtain:

V_{base}=\frac{M_{acid}V_{acid}}{M_{base}} \\\\V_{base}=\frac{0.5M*24mL}{2.0M}\\\\V_{base}=6.0mL

Regards!

Which statement describes a change that occurs during a chemical reaction? A. Atoms in the original substances are changed into
trapecia [35]

Answer:

B. Atoms in the original substances are arranged in a different way to make new substances.

Explanation:

The best statement that describes a change that occurs in a chemical reaction is that atoms in the original substances are arranged in a different way to make new substances.

  • Chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of matter.
  • The law postulates that "matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction but they are simply rearranged".
  • Therefore, atoms  of compounds forms new bonds by rearranging to give a new product.

Which part of the mantle is still a solid but flows like a thick, heavy liquid?
marusya05 [52]

Hello!

Your answer is A, asthenosphere

<u>The asthenosphere is a part of the mantle</u>. It helps move the plates in the Earth.

It is <u>below the lithosphere,</u> between <u>80 and 200 km</u> below the surface.

Therfore, the asthenosphere is <u>the part of the mantle that is still a solid but flows like a thick, heavy liquid.</u>

<u />

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!
