Westkost [7]3 years ago

valence electrons are the number of electrons in the outer shell. there can only be 8 electrons in the outer shell. The number of valence electrons can be used to determine how many bonds are needed.

For example: H2O

O (oxygen) has 6 valence electrons
H (hydrogen) has 1 valence electron

O needs 2 more electrons to be stable
H needs 1 more electron to be stable

O forms one bond with two H atoms to form H2O.

The molar mass of H2O is 18.01 g/mol. The molar mass of O2 is 32.00 g/mol. What mass of H2O, in grams, must react to produce 50.
Annette [7]
This reaction is called the electrolysis of water. The balanced reaction is:
2H2O = 2H2 + O2
We are given the amount of O2 produced from the electrolysis reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculation.

50.00 grams O2 ( 1 mol O2 / 32 grams O2) ( 2 mol H2O / 1 mol O2) ( 18.01 g H2O / 1 mol H2O ) = 56.28 g H2O

the chemical formula for copper iodide is Cul. How many atoms of copper(Cu) is it made from? How many atoms of iodine(I)?
Alexandra [31]
<span>The molecule contains one atom of copper and one atom of iodine. They are connected by an ionic bond because the copper takes a positive charge and the iodine has a negative charge before they are bonded. These opposing charges are negated when the two elements come together.</span>

What is a colligative property?
V125BC [204]
<span>Colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend on the number of molecules [or ions] in a given volume of solvent and not on the properties (e.g. size or mass) of the compound. Colligative properties include: lowering of vapor pressure; elevation of boiling point; depression of freezing point and osmotic pressure.</span>
