Why is it important foe scientists to know how many valence electrons a given element has

Physics
1 answer:
Vikentia [17]3 years ago
3 0
Because the number of valence electrons of an element determines the properties and in particular the reactivity of that element.

In fact, elements of the first group (i.e. only one valence electron) have high reactivity, because they can easily give away their valence electron to atoms of other elements forming bonds. On the contrary, elements of the 8th group (noble gases) have their outermost shell completely filled with electrons, so they do not have valence electrons, and they have little or no reactivity at all.

As gravity continues to crush the inner core, the fusion of carbon and oxygen begins. What temperature is needed for the fusion
Olin [163]

Answer:

600,000,000 degree C

Explanation:

This stage is the last stage and is refereed to as supernova. In the beginning of this stage, gravity pulls the inner core and crush it, due to which fusion of atoms starts. Carbon and Oxygen fuse together and the temperature is about of 600,000,000 degree C.

The most heavier atom that can be formed out of this fusion is the iron. The moment all the atoms becomes of iron, no further fusion is possible hence that body emits radiation of high intensity and collapse causing a big supernova.

A red laser with a wavelength of 670 nm and a blue laser with a wavelength of 450 nm emit laser beams with the same light power.
tatyana61 [14]

E=hf C=wavelength*F

E=hC/wavelength

E=(6.626*10^-34)*(3.00*10^8)/670*10^-9

E=(6.626*10^-34)*(3.00*10^8)/450*10^-9
