How many electrons will each element gain or lose in forming an ion?

It depends on the number of valence electrons required to make octet or duplet( in case of H). For example, Nitrogen(atomic number = 7) has electronic configuration(2,5) which means nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and requires 3 more electrons to complete its octet. After gaining 3 electrons from atoms of an element with less electronegativity than N, it forms nitride ion (N ^{-3}). Hope this helps.

meriva

Answer:

The area of the given rectangular index card = <u>9677.4 mm²</u>    

Explanation:

Area is defined as the space occupied by a two dimensional shape or object. The SI unit of area is square metre (m²).

<u>The area of a rectangle</u> (A) =  length (l) × width (w)

Given dimensions of the rectangle: Length (l) = 5.0 inch, Width (w) = 3.0 inch

Since, 1 inch = 25.4 millimetres (mm)

Therefore, l = 5 × 25.4 = 127 mm, and w = 3 × 25.4 = 76.2 mm

Therefore, <u>the area of the given rectangular index card</u> = A= l × w = 127 mm × 76.2 mm = <u>9677.4 mm²</u>

In a compound, such as CH3OH, how determine which is the central atom?
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Choose the least electronegative atom other than H.

Explanation:

A Lewis structure consists of <em>terminal atoms</em> and one or more <em>central atoms</em>.

H can be <em>only a terminal atom</em> because it can form only one bond.

So the central atom must be either C or O.

The central atom is the less electronegative atom: C.

So, start the Lewis structure with a central C atom.

Then attach an O atom to get C-O.

Finally, attach the H atoms.

The condensed formula often gives you a clue where they go.

The formula CH₃OH implies that there are 3 H atoms on C and one on O.

The connectivity of the atoms is then as in the diagram below.

Zinc density = 7.10 = 46.77/x ==> x = 46.77/7.10 =6.6 cm3 or 6.6 ml
New water level = 33.33+ 6.6 = 39.93 ml
