Answer:

Explanation:

For an element to be stable, it must follow the octet rule: an atom will gain, lose or share electrons until its valence shell is complete with 8 electrons.

An element with the valence electron configuration ns²np⁴ has 6 (2+4) electrons in its valence shell. Thus, in order to fulfill the octet, it will gain 2 electrons. As a consequence, it will form an anion with charge 2-.

Complete the following reaction. 14N+ on →?C+1H 18C 14 1 C 18C

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: The complete reaction is as follows.

$^{14}_{7}N + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{14}_{6}C + ^{1}_{1}H$

Explanation:

When nucleus of two or more atoms are bombarded together then it leads to the formation of new particles with new identity. This type of reaction are called nuclear reaction.

For example, $^{14}_{7}N + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ?C + ^{1}_{1}H$

Here, nitrogen atom when bombarded with a neutron then it is forming hydrogen and a carbon atom.

As total atomic mass on reactant side is (14 + 1) = 15

So, the atomic mass of carbon formed on product side is (15 - 1) = 14.

The number of protons holded by this carbon atom is (7 - 1) = 6.

Therefore, we can conclude that the complete reaction is as follows.

$^{14}_{7}N + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{14}_{6}C + ^{1}_{1}H$

Helium does not usually react with other substances. Does this mean that helium has no chemical properties? Explain.

Sedaia [141]

Everything has chemical properties it depends on the reactivity and the reactivity of the other element and what form it is in

BRAINLIESTTT ASAP!!! PLEASE HELP ME :))

Answer:

Multiply 1.25 by 0.04 and divide the result obtained by 1,000

Explanation:

Given: [1 gram = 0.04 ounce, 1 liter = 1,000 milliliter]

1.25 x 0.04 = 0.05 oz

Therefore, 0.05 per 1,000 milliliter

0.05 ÷ 1,000 = 0.00005 oz

Therefore, the density of the gas is 0.00005 oz/mL

Hope this helps! :)

Balance this chemical equation.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Reaction Given

NaHCO₃ (s) + HC₂H₃O₂ (aq) -------> CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) + NaC₂H₃O₂ (aq)

Balance Equation = ?

Solution:

Balance Chemical Equation:

A balanced chemical equation is that in which the number of the reactant atoms equal to the number of the product atom.

For example if the carbon at the reactant side is 3, the number of carbon must be 3 on the product side.

Check the chemical equation and count the number of atoms at the reactant side and product side.

If the number of atoms of the reactants equal to the number of atoms of products then the reaction is balanced but if not equal then reaction is not balanced

Balancing is an trial and error process to get a balance reaction.

First we count the number of atoms of reactant and product

Number of atoms of Reactant:

Na = 1

O = 5

H = 5

C = 3

Number of atoms of Product:

Na = 1

O = 5

H = 5

C = 3

So this a balance equation as the atoms of the reactant atom equal to the number of the product atoms.

Na atom is 1 on both reactant and product side

Oxygen atoms are 5 on reactant and 5 on product side

hydrogen atoms are 5 on reactant and 5 on product side

Carbon atoms are 3 on reactant and 3 on product side

So all the compounds in the reaction have 1 as its coefficient in the blanks

1 NaHCO₃ (s) + 1 HC₂H₃O₂ (aq) -----> 1 CO₂ (g) + 1 H₂O (l) + 1 NaC₂H₃O₂ (aq)
