Which noble gas will Selenium try to resemble when it becomes an ION?

Chemistry
1 answer:
lapo4ka [179]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Krypton

Explanation:

When Selenium forms an ion, it is trying to become krypton which is a noble gas.

Selenium belongs to the oxygen group on the periodic table. In this group, the atoms prefers to gain two electrons to complete their octet. When selenium gains two electrons, its octet is complete.

This will make the atom resemble krypton on the periodic table of elements.

This structure which is an octet confers a special stability on the element.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

a. The central atom is sulfur

b. SF2

c. The central atom has two lone pairs

d. The ideal angle between the sulfur-fluorine bonds is 109.5°

e.  I expect the actual angle between the sulfur-fluorine bonds to be less than 109.5° because unbonded pairs repel bonded pairs more than bonded pairs repel other bonded pairs. So the bonds here will be pushed closer than normal

1. If we used 0.0100 moles of K2CO3, how many moles of SrCO3 can be expected to form?​
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

0.01 moles of SrCO₃

Explanation:

In this excersise we need to propose the reaction:

K₂CO₃ + Sr(NO₃)₂  →  2KNO₃ + SrCO₃

As we only have data about the potassium carbonate  we assume the strontium nitrite as the excess reactant.

1 mol of K₂CO₃ react to 1 mol of Sr(NO₃)₂ in order to produce 2 moles of potassium nitrite and 1 mol of strontium carbonate.

Ratio is 1:1. In conclussion,

0.01 mol of K₂CO₃ must produce 0.01 moles of SrCO₃

How does the automatic hammer convert gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Exolaiend in explanation section

Explanation:

First of all, the automatic hammer is used to drive nails into tight spaces where where we can't get a sufficient striking force if we are to use a normal regular hammer in driving the nail.

So the nail to be driven is lifted out of rest(it's position). The energy here is gravitational potential energy.

Now, when it is driven into the tight spaces, the gravitational energy would be converted to kinetic energy due to the motion and speed involved.
