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.

Sulfur is an element that can be seen on the periodic table. What will most likely occur if sulfur forms an ionic bond with anot
Yakvenalex [24]

What is likely  to occur  if sulfur  forms an ionic  bond with another  element  is  <u>sulfur  will accept  electrons</u>

     

    <u><em> explanation</em></u>

  • Ionic bond is formed when  a metal react with a non metal.
  • Metal  loses ( donate) electrons  to form cation ( a positively charged  ion) , while  non metal accept (gain)  electrons  to form anion ( a negatively charged ion ).

  • Sulfur  is a non metal  therefore it  accept  electrons if it form an ionic bond  with a metal. sulfur accept  2 electrons to  form S2- ion

Calculate the volume which 1.00 mole of a gas occupies at 1 atm and 298K?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

25.45 Liters

Explanation:

Using Ideal Gas Law PV = nRT => V = nRT/P

V = (1mole)(0.08206Latm/molK)(298K)/(1atm) = 25.45 Liters

Explain, in your own words, why different elements produce different colors of light when heated.
fgiga [73]
Different elements produce different colors of light when heated because the electrons in these elements have different permissible energy levels. When an element is heated, the electrons inside it become excited and move to an higher energy level from the ground state. When the electrons drop from this higher energy level, they typically emit energy quantum, the color of the light that is observed at this stage depends on difference that exist in the two energy levels.<span />
