Answer: 5
Explanation: add up all the electrons and it will amount to 23. Arranging by the old model for electronic configuration, we have : 2, 8, 8, 5
The last number being 5 represent its valence electron
The answer is c.
Elements on the left side of the table are metals, such as sodium, lithium, potassium, etc.
Elements on the right side are non metals, such as Chlorine, Fluorine, Bromine, etc.
Answer:9.49g/mL
Explanation:
Mass of toy = 43.672g
Volume of water = 34.4mL
Volume of toy + volume of water = 39mL
Volume of toy = 39 — 34.4 = 4.6mL
Density = Mass /volume
Density = 43.672/4.6 = 9.49g/mL
Answer:
The two would end up repelling each other very strongly and more energy would ultimately be required to keep the metal-ligand system in place
Explanation:
A complex is made up a central metal atom or ion and ligands. Ligands are lewis bases and they possess lone pairs of electrons. A complex is formed when electrons are donated from ligand species to metals.
However, if the ligand has a negative charge at a particular location and we try to put electrons from the metal near the electrons from the ligand, the two would end up repelling each other very strongly and more energy would ultimately be required to keep the metal-ligand system in place.
Answer:
If it loses 2 electrons, the net charge on the atom will be 2+
If the atom instead gains 4 electrons, the net charge will be 4-
Explanation:
It is based on adding and subtracting charges. Protons are +1 and electrons are -1
If the atom has 9 protons and 9 electrons, the net charge is +9 + (-9) = 0. The +9 is the 9 protons and the -9 is from the 9 electrons.
If two electrons are taken away, there would be 9-2 or 7 electrons with 9 protons. The net charge would then be +9 + (-7) = +2. +9 comes from the 9 electrons and -7 is from the 7 electrons.
So, if two electrons are taken away, the net charge is +2.
Similarly, if the atom gains 4 electrons, there will be 9+4 or 12 electrons and 9 protons. The net charge would then be +9 + (-12) = -4. +9 comes from the 9 protons and -12 comes from the 12 electrons.
So, if 4 electrons are added, the net charge is -4.
