Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. Those are t<span>he electrons on an atom that can be gained or lost in a chemical reaction.
</span>Elements that are left on the periodic table <span> have relatively few </span>valence electrons<span>, and can form ions  more easily by losing their </span>valence electrons<span> to form positively charged cations.</span>
<span>Nonmetals are further to the right on the periodic table, so they gain electrons relatively easily and lose them with difficulty. </span>

Deffense [45]

Based on factors affecting solution formation;

  • Strong solvent-solute intermolecular forces favors solution formation.
  • Increase in entropy favours solution formation
  • Decrease in enthalpy favours solution formation

<h3>What is a solution?</h3>

A solution is a substance formed when a substance known as solute dissolves in another substance know as solvent.

Factors that affect solution formation include:

  • strength of intermolecular forces between solute and solvent
  • entropy
  • enthalpy

Strong solvent-solute intermolecular forces favors solution formation.

Increase in entropy favours solution formation

Decrease in enthalpy favours solution formation.

Acetone is the main chemical in nail polish and has a density of 0.7857 g/mL. What is the volume of 6.54g of acetone ?
trapecia [35]

8.3mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of acetone = 6.54g

Density of acetone = 0.7857 g/mL

Unknown:

Volume of acetone = ?

Solution:

Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance. It is expressed mathematically as shown below:

  Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

Since the unknown is volume, we make it the subject of the formula

Volume =  \frac{mass}{density}

Input the values;

  Volume = \frac{6.54}{0.7857} = 8.3mL

After he conducted cathode ray tube experiments proving the existence of negatively charged particles we now call electrons, Tho
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Answer is explained below;

Explanation:

In 1904, after the discovery of the electron, the English physicist Sir J.J. Thomson proposed the plum pudding model of an atom. In this model, the atom had a positively-charged space with negatively charged electrons embedded inside it i.e., like a pudding (positively charged space) with plums (electrons) inside.

In 1911, another physicist Ernest Rutherford proposed another model known as the Rutherford model or planetary model of the atom that describes the structure of atoms. In this model, the small and dense atom has a positively charged core called the nucleus. Also, he proposed that just like the planets revolving around the Sun, the negatively charged electrons are moving around the nucleus.

By conducting a gold foil experiment, Rutherford disproved Thomson's model. In this experiment, positively charged alpha particles emitted from a radioactive source enclosed within a protective lead were used which was then focused into a narrow beam. It was then passed through a slit in front of which a thin section of gold foil was placed. A fluorescent screen (coated with zinc sulfide) was also placed in front of the slit to detect alpha particles which on striking the fluorescent screen would produce scintillation (a burst of light) which was visible through a microscope attached to the back of the screen.

He observed that most of the alpha particles passed straight through the gold foil without any resistance and this implied that atoms contain a large amount of open space. The slight deflection of some of the alpha particles, the large-angle scattering of other alpha particles and even the bouncing back of a very few alpha particles toward the source suggested their interactions with other positively charged particles inside the atom.

So, he concluded that only a dense and positively charged particle such as the nucleus would be responsible for such strong repulsion. Also, the negatively charged electrons electrically balanced the positive nuclear charge and they moved around the nucleus in circular orbits. Between the electrons and nucleus, there was an electrostatic force of attraction just like the gravitational force of attraction between the sun and the revolving planets.

Later, the Rutherford model was replaced by the Bohr atomic model.

Which of the following gases effuses the fastest at a given temperature?
Sholpan [36]

Answer: -

H₂ will diffuse the fastest.

Explanation: -

According to Graham's Law of Diffusion

The rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of it's density or molar mass. So the lower the molar mass faster the rate of diffusion.

Molar mass of Ne = 20 g / mol

Molar mass of CH₄ = 12 x 1 + 1 x 4 = 16 g /mol

Molar mass of Ar = 40g / mol

Molar mass of H₂ = 1 x 2 = 2 g / mol

Thus H₂ will diffuse the fastest.
