How did knowing the number of valence electrons in one

Chemistry

lana66690 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

All elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons. This made it possible to compare the valence of the alien elements to the valence of elements from our periodic table, and match the alien elements to the correct group. For example, our group 14 elements all have 4 valence electrons, so the alien element with 4 valence electrons had to be part of group 14 also.

Explanation:

Knowing the number of valence electrons in one of the alien elements helps in identifying it because the number of valence electrons can help categorize the alien element. Similar elements have the same valence electrons and knowing the category of the element can help further analyze the element.

How many moles of carbonate are there in sodium carbonate​
vaieri [72.5K]

There are 0.566 moles of carbonate in sodium carbonate.

<h3>CALCULATE MOLES:</h3>
  • The number of moles of carbonate (CO3) in sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) can be calculated by dividing the mass of carbonate in the compound by the molar mass of the compound.

  • no. of moles of CO3 = mass of CO3 ÷ molar mass of Na2CO3

  • Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 23(2) + 12 + 16(3)

  • = 46 + 12 + 48 = 106g/mol

  • mass of CO3 = 12 + 48 = 60g

  • no. of moles of CO3 = 60/106

  • no. of moles of CO3 = 0.566mol

  • Therefore, there are 0.566 moles of carbonate in sodium carbonate.

Given the chemical formulas of the following compounds, name each compound and state the rules you used to determine each name.
Svetlanka [38]
When naming an ionic compound, write the name of the cation, which is the metal first. Then, write the name of the anion, which is the nonmetal. However, you remove the last 2-3 letters and replace suffixes. 

1. RbF --> Rubidium Fluoride
Change fluorine to fluoride
2. CuO --> Copper (II) Oxide
Change oxygen to oxide. Oxide has a charge of -2. Since no subscripts are written, it means they have the same opposite charge. So, we use Copper (II).

NH₄ is ammonia, but we change it to ammonium for polyatomic ions.

Using words, explain all steps of dimensional analysis when converting 6.7 hectometers to meters. You must explain the set up of
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

  • See below

Explanation:

In order to convert 6.7 hectometers to meters using dimensional analysis, you must use the ratio of hectometers to meters.

There are 100 meters in one hectometer, then you start setting the equality: 100 m = 1 hm.

Dividing both sides by 1 hm you get the fraction form of the ratio, with meters (m) in the numerator and hectometers (hm) in the denominator.

              1m/100hm

Since hm is in the numerator, when you multiply 6.7 hm by the unit ratio the hm will be canceled and the result will have only m:

            6.7hm\times 1m/100hm=0.067m

Magnesium is a metal with two elections in its outermost energy level. When it becomes an ion, what happens to its valence elect
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Mg loses its valence electrons and acquire a positive charge (Mg⁺²).

Explanation:

Valence electrons are important for an element to attach to another one, metals lose these electrons while nonmetals gain electrons to complete the octet rule.

Magnesium is a metal that loses these electrons so when it becomes an ion Magnesium will have a positive charge  Mg⁺².
