Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A non-metal is a substance which tends to gain electrons from another atom in order to acquire noble gas electronic configuration.

For example, elements of group 6A have 6 valence electrons and elements of group 7A have 7 valence electrons.

Hence, in order to know the charge acquired by the elements of these groups we should subtract their group number from 8.

So, elements of group 6A forms (8 - 6) = 2. That is A^{2-} ion is formed in general.

Similarly, elements of group 7A forms (8 - 7) = 1. That is A^{-1} ion is formed in general.

Thus, we can conclude that the ions formed by non-metals in group 6A and 7A have a numerical charge that is found by subtracting the group number from 8.

The formula for a compound of Li₊ ions and Br_ ions is written LiBr. Why can't it be written Li₂Br? Why isn't it written BrLi?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

.

Explanation:

Lithium is in the first column of the periodic table, so it will have 1 valence electron.

Bromine is in the seventh column of the periodic table, so it will have seven valence electrons.

They must combine in a way to reach 8.

When combining elements to form compounds, the "crisscross method" is used. Above Li would be a charge of +1, and above Br would be a charge of -1.

Cross the 1 from the top of Li to the bottom of Br, and so there is 1 Br.

Cross the 1 from the top of Br to the bottom of Li, and so there is 1 Li.

It is not written BrLi because chemists decided to order them the other way. Technically speaking, it isn't wrong, but the positive charge is normally put on the left and the negative charge is normally put on the right.

What is the molar mass of an element?
Vesnalui [34]

The answer is: the mass of 6.02 x 1023 representative particles of the element.

The base SI unit for molar mass is kg/mol, but chemist more use g/mol (gram per mole).

For example, molar mas of ammonia is 17.031 g/mol.

M(NH₃) = Ar(N) + 3 · Ar(H) · g/mol.

M(NH₃) = 14.007 + 3 · 1.008 · g/mol.

M(NH₃) = 17.031 g/mol.

The molar mass (M) is the mass of a given substance (in this example ammonia) divided by the amount of substance.
