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

Chemistry

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.

What is the name of CuO? Explain how you determined the bond type and the steps you used to determine the naming convention for
yulyashka [42]

The name of CuO is copper II oxide and its bond type is ionic or electrovalent bond.

<h3>What is electrovalent bond?</h3>

An ionic or electrovalent bond is the type of chemical bond where two atoms or molecules are connected to each other by electrostatic attraction.

This electrostatic attraction is as a result of the transfer of electrons from the metallic element to the non-metal.

According to this question, CuO is a chemical compound consisting of two elements namely; copper and oxygen. The compound name is copper II oxide.

Copper as a metal transfers electrons to oxygen atoms, hence, an ionic bond is formed between the molecules.

What is the mass percent of potassium sulfate in solution if 78g of potassium sulfate is dissolved in 500 mL of water? (The dens
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

13.5 %

Explanation:

First we<u> calculate the mass of 500 mL of water</u>, using <em>its density</em>:

  • Volume * Density = Mass
  • 500 mL * 1.00 g/mL = 500 g

Then we <u>calculate the mass percent of potassium sulfate</u>, using the formula:

Mass of Potassium Sulfate / Total Mass * 100%

  • 78 g / (78 + 500) g * 100 % = 13.5 %
