Calcium has an atomic number of 20 and 2 valence electrons. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and 6 valence electrons. Neon has a

n atomic number of 10 and 8 valence electrons. Explain how the placement of these three elements on the periodic table compares and why they are placed where they are relative to each other.

Calcium is in group 2 period 4 of periodic table

Oxygen is in group 16 and period 2

neon is in period 2 and group 16.

Explanation:

Valence electron in calcium =2

valence electron in oxygen= 6

valence electron in neon= 8 valence electron.

 Calcium is placed in s block group 2 of period 4.

oxygen is placed in period 2 and group 16

Neon is a p block element, placed in period 2 and group 16.

Calcium is a elecropositive element which can share or donates its electrons to for compound, it has oxidation state of +2 and hence placed in group 2

Oxygen is electronegative as it can accept or share 2 electrons to form a bond. It has oxidation of -2.

Example is CaO.

Neon has its outer shell complete it is an inert element which will not share or donate electrons. it has oxidation state of 0

If you knew the number of valence electrons in a nonmetal atom how would you determine the valence of the element. (Ignore hydro
SIZIF [17.4K]

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.

The only way animals can get energy is by<br> eating what three nutrients?
kogti [31]

Most animals obtain their nutrients by the consumption of other organisms. At the cellular level, the biological molecules necessary for animal function are amino acids, lipid molecules, nucleotides, and simple sugars. However, the food consumed consists of protein, fat, and complex carbohydrates.

Answer:

Option C

CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH

Explanation:

Carbonxylic acids are compounds which has the general formula

R–COOH where R is an alkyl group.

Considering the options given in the question above,

For A:

CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ is an ether compound with general formula ROR' where R and R' are both alkyl group.

For B:

CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH is an alcohol with general formula ROH where R is an alkyl group.

For C:

CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH is a carbonxylic acid with general formula R–COOH where R is an alkyl group.

For D:

CH₃CH₂C=OCH₂CH₃ is a ketone compound with general formula RC=OR' where R and R' are both alkyl group

For E:

ClCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂Br is simply an Alkyl halide with general formula XRX where X is an halogen (i.e F, Cl, Br or I) and R is an alkyl group.

From the above illustration, only option C contains a Carbonxylic compound.
