Answer:
The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity
Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago
Explanation:
All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.
Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)
For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1
Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.
Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.
For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.
Explanation:
Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. The charge on the proton and electron are exactly the same size but opposite. Neutrons have no charge.
Answer:
Explanation:
Half time is period required to desintegrating the half of the initial number of atoms. Then, the total time is:
<span>the balanced equation for the reaction is as follows
Na</span>₂<span>SO</span>₄<span> + BaCl</span>₂<span> ----> 2NaCl + BaSO</span>₄
<span>stoichiometry of Na</span>₂<span>SO</span>₄<span> to BaCl</span>₂<span> is 1:1
first we need to find out which the limiting reactant is
limiting reactant is fully used up in the reaction.
number of Na2So4 moles - 0.5 mol number of BaCl2 moles - 60 g / 208 g/mol = 0.288 mol
since molar ratio is 1:1 equal number of moles of both reactants should react with each other
therefore BaCl2 is the limiting reactant and Na2SO4 is in excess. amount of product formed depends on number of limiting reactant present.
stoichiometry of BaCl</span>₂<span> to BaSO</span>₄<span> is 1:1.
therefore number of BaSO4 moles formed - 0.288 mol</span>
Answer:
The name of this compound is :
Bi2(CO3)3 = Bismuth Carbonate
Explanation:
The name of the compound is derived from the name of the elements present in it.
The rule followed while naming the compound are:
1. The first element (always the cation) is named as such .
2. The second element (The anion) end with "-ate , -ide ," etc
3. NO prefix is added while naming the first element.
For example : Bi2 can't be named as Dibismuth
Na2 = Can't be named as disodium
Hence the compound :
Bi2(CO3)3 contain two element : Bi and CO3. Here , Bi = cation (named as such) and CO3 = anion (named according to rules)
Bi = Bismuth
CO3 = carbonate
Bi2(CO3)3 = Bismuth Carbonate
The molecular mass of this compound is :
Molecular mass = 2 (mass of Bi) + 3(mass of C) + 6(mass of O)
= 2 (208.98)+3(12.01)+6(15.99)
= 597.987 u
