Answer:

Silver has to give up one electron.

Explanation:

Silver is a transition element and has a partially filled 4d- orbital having 9 electrons and a 5s orbital having 2 electrons in it. In order to achieve stability, silver must have completely filled d-orbital having a maximum number of 10 electrons in it.

Therefore, one electron from 5s orbital jumps to 4d orbital to make it stable. Now, 5s orbital has only one electron, and it will be easy for silver to lose this electron to attain a stable electronic configuration.

Use the particle theory to describe each of the three states of matter.

Anna007 [38]

Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. ... Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume.

Water has a density of 1 g/cc. If you have 1 cc of water, how much mass does it contain?

rewona [7]

Water has a density of 1 g/cc. If you have 1 cc of water, then the mass it contains would be 1 g. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. It is a property that can be used to describe a substance. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

List the ions in solution in the electrolysis of conc.sodium chloride

Licemer1 [7]

Chloride ions Cl –(aq) (from the dissolved sodium chloride) are discharged at the positive electrode as chlorine gas, Cl 2(g) sodium ions Na +(aq) (from the dissolved sodium chloride) and hydroxide ions OH –(aq) (from the water) stay behind - they form sodium hydroxide solution, NaOH(aq)

Does adding 1 mol of NaCl to 1 kg of water lower the vapor pressure of water to the same extent, a lesser extent, or a greater e

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Adding 1 mol of NaCl to 1 kg of water lower the vapor pressure of water to the same extent by adding 1 mol of $C_06H_{12}O_6$ to 1 kg of water.
