Nonmetals rarely lose electrons in chemical reactions because?

Chemistry

ziro4ka [17]3 years ago

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.

Earth has approximately 600,000,000 meters of coastline. If we assume this entire length of coastline has sandy beaches 60 meter
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

7 and 11

Explanation:

The amount of sand on the beaches can be found using this formula:

volume (m3) = length (m) × width (m) × depth (m)

(6 × 108 m) × 60 m × 20 m = 7 × 1011 m3

Therefore, there would be a total of 7 × 1011 cubic meters of sand on the beaches.

Some oxides are given below. (i)Na2O (ii)NO2 (iii) CO2 (iv) MgO a) Which are the basic oxides among these? b) What is the name o
umka2103 [35]
<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Basic oxides ⇒ metal(usually alkali/alkaline earth) +O₂

L + O₂ ⇒ L₂O

L + O₂ ⇒ LO

Dissolve in water becomes = basic solution

L₂O+H₂O⇒ 2LOH

LO + H₂O⇒ L(OH)₂

So the basic oxides : Na₂O and MgO

Na₂O + H₂O⇒NaOH

MgO +H₂O⇒Mg(OH)₂

The aqueous solution of CO₂(dissolve in water)

CO₂ + +H₂O⇒ H₂CO₃(carbonic acid)

please help me with Chem I ONLY HAVE 5 MINUTES if methane gas (CH4) flows at a rate of 0.25L/s, how many grams of methane gas wi
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

643g of methane will there be in the room

Explanation:

To solve this question we must, as first, find the volume of methane after 1h = 3600s. With the volume we can find the moles of methane using PV = nRT -<em>Assuming STP-</em>. With the moles and the molar mass of methane (16g/mol) we can find the mass of methane gas after 1 hour as follows:

<em>Volume Methane:</em>

3600s * (0.25L / s) = 900L Methane

<em>Moles methane:</em>

PV = nRT; PV / RT = n

<em>Where P = 1atm at STP, V is volume = 900L; R is gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK; T is absolute temperature = 273.15K at sTP</em>

Replacing:

PV / RT = n

1atm*900L / 0.082atmL/molK*273.15 = n

n = 40.18mol methane

<em>Mass methane:</em>

40.18 moles * (16g/mol) =
