Atoms of which element have the greatest tendency to gain electrons?

2 answers:

8 0

Fluorine.

Because:- Atoms want to become stable, for an atom to become stable, they need 8 valence electrons. Since Fluorine has 7 valence electrons, it only needs one more electron to become stable and have an octet. An octet is when an atom/element has 8 valence electrons. Since Fluorine will need to gain an electron, it will have a negative charge, and become an anion.

A particular sample of pure iron requires 0.612 kJ of energy to raise its temperature from 30.°C to 51°C. What must be the mass

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

m = 65.637 g

Explanation:

Heat = 0.612 kJ = 612 J ( Converting to J by multiplying by 1000)

Initial Temperature = 30.°C

Final Temperature = 51°C

Temperature change = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature = 51 - 30 = 21°C

Mass = ?

The relationship between these quantities is given by the equation;

H = mCΔT

where c = 0.444 J/g°C

Inserting the values in the equation;

612 = m * 0.444 * 21

m = 612 / (0.444 * 21)

m = 65.637 g
