explain how the number of valence electrons in atoms relate to their bonding with other atoms to form molecules ?????

Chemistry
1 answer:
Westkost [7]2 years ago
5 0


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.

In a certain time, light travels 4.96 km in a vacuum. during the same time, light travels only 3.36 km in a liquid. what is the
Natali5045456 [20]

the refractive index of the liquid is 1.476

The refractive index, which has no dimensions, measures how quickly light passes through a substance.

It can also be described as the difference between the speed of light in a vacuum and a medium.

Refractive index is equal to the product of the light's liquid and vacuum speeds.

Therefore.

speed of light in vacuum = 4.96 km/t

speed of light in liquid = 3.36 km/t

Refractive index = 4.96/3.36

Refractive index =1.476

Therefore, the refractive index of the liquid is 1.476

How many moles of oxygen will occupy a volume of 2.50 liters?
loris [4]
Data:
n (number of mols) = ? 
V (volume) = 2.50 Liters 
If: 
1 L → 1000 g
2.50 L → y

y = 1000*2.50 = 2500 g

Therefore:
m (mass) = 2500 g

Now:
Molar Mass (MM) of oxygen = 16 g/mol

Formula:
n =  \frac{m}{MM}

Solving:
n = \frac{m}{MM}
n = \frac{2500\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g}{16\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g/mol}
\boxed{\boxed{n = 156.25\:mols}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark
