7 valance electrons the Lewis structure for a chlorine atom show.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Lewis structure is used to keep track of the valance electrons of each atom and share them in bonding. Every valance electron is represented as a dot around the element to keep their count.  

Paired VE’s are shown as ‘:’ and unpaired as ‘.’ in the representation. A chlorine Cl atom has 17 electrons. & of them are valance electrons. Out of the seven six are paired electrons and one is unpaired.

Answer: D

Explanation:

Chlorine is in group 7 or (VII) in Roman numerals, which means it has 7 balance electrons. It only needs one electron to become stable, hence it is next to the noble gases

2. A student has a centrifuge tube containing 14.0 g of t-butanol and is asked to make a 1.2 m solution of ethanol/t-butanol. Ho
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

0.774g of ethanol

0.970mL of ethanol

Explanation:

Molality is an unit of concentration defined as the ratio between moles of solute and kg of solvent.

In the problem, you need to prepare a 1.2m solution of ethanol (Solute) in t-butanol (solvent).

14.0g of butanol are <em>0.014kg </em>and as you want to prepare the 1.2m solution, you need to add:

0.014kg × (1.2moles / kg) = 0.0168 moles of solute = Moles of ethanol

To convert moles of ethanol to mass you require molar mass (Molar mass ethanol, C₂H₅OH = 46.07g/mol). Thus, mass of 0.0168 moles are:

0.0168moles Ethanol ₓ (46.07g / mol) =

<h3>0.774g of ethanol</h3>

And to convert mass in g to mL you require density of the substance (Density of ethanol = 0.798g/mL):

0.774g ₓ (1mL / 0.798g) =

<h3>0.970mL of ehtanol</h3>

What is an atomic radius?
Vikki [24]

Explanation:

The atomic radius of a chemical element is a measure of the size of its atoms, usually the mean or typical distance from the center of the nucleus to the boundary of the surrounding shells of electrons
