The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

The element tin has the following number of electrons per shell: 2.8. 18, 18, 4. Notice that the number of electrons in the outer shell of a tin atom is the same as that for a carbon atom. Therefore, what must be true of tin? Tin is a polar atom and can bind to other polar atoms. Tin has a high molecular weight to give tin-containing molecules greater stabilty. All of the above Tin conform single covalent bonds with other elements, but not double or triple covalent bonds Tincan bind to up to four elements at a time

Answer:

Tin can bind to up to four elements at a time

Explanation:

Certain important points were made in the question about tin and one of them is that tin is an element in the same group as carbon hence it has the same number of valence electrons as carbon.

Carbon is always tetra valent. The tetra valency of carbon is the idea that carbon forms four bonds.

If tin has the same number of valence electrons as carbon, then, tin can bind to up to four elements at a time

Enter the electron configuration for the ion most likely formed by phosphorus. Express your answer in the order of orbital filli
Bingel [31]

Answer:

[Ne] 2s2 2p3

Explanation:

Phosphorus will most likely have an ion that will be 3- because it wants to have a full outer shell. Thus, the elctron configuration is: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3.

What is the pH of a solution that contains 25 grams of hydrochloric acid (hcl) dissolved in 1.5 liters of water?
Darina [25.2K]
First we calculate the concentration of HCl:

Moles = mass / Mr
= 25 / 36.5
= 0.685 mol

Concentration = 0.685/1.5 = 0.457 mol / dm³

For a strong monoprotic acid, the concentration of hydrogen ions is equal to the acid concentration.

pH = -log[H+]
pH = -log(0.457)
= 0.34

Write a balanced chemical equation showing how each metal oxide reacts with HCl. SrO Na2O Li2O BaO
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

See below  

Explanation:

Each metal oxide reacts with HCl to form water and the metal chloride

\rm SrO + 2HCl \longrightarrow SrCl_{2} + H_{2}O\\\\Na_{2}O + 2HCl \longrightarrow 2NaCl + H_{2}O\\\\Li_{2}O + 2HCl \longrightarrow 2LiCl + H_{2}O\\\\BaO + 2HCl \longrightarrow BaCl_{2} + H_{2}O
