Answer:
The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity
Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago
Explanation:
All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.
Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)
For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1
Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.
Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.
For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.
Mass of CO₂ evolved : 0.108 g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
1.205g sample, 36% MgCO3 and 44% K2CO3
Required
mass of CO2
Solution
0.36 x 1.205 g=0.4338 g
mass C in MgCO₃(MW MgCO₃=84 g/mol, Ar C = 12/gmol)
= (12/84) x 0.4338
= 0.062 g
0.44 x 1.205 g = 0.5302 g
Mass C in K₂CO₃(MW=138 g/mol) :
= (12/138) x 0.5302
= 0.046 g
Total mass Of CO₂ :
= 0.062 + 0.046
= 0.108 g
The chemical compound sodium sulfide has the formula Na2S. It is written as 
. It has a crystalline state. Na is followed by a two or 2. this indicates that the molecule has two of the specified element's atoms.
There is just one of these because there is no number following the S.
In all, this molecule consists of one sulfur atom and two sodium atoms.
A compound's chemical formula, which uses symbols for combining atoms, reveals the composition of the complex. We require the valency of the combining parts in order to write the formula.
The sodium sulfide chemical formula must be written down. So sodium and sulfur make up the two elements in the chemical. Sodium has a valency of +1, while sulfur has a +2.
