There should be 3 valence electrons surrounding the aluminum ion
Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

Aluminium is a metal with 13 as its atomic number, in such a way, one could foresee the Lewis structure via its electron configuration:

Al^{13}: 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^1

It is seen that in its last level, 3, there are three electrons, two from 3s^2 and one from 3p^1, in such a way one states that aluminium has three valence electrons which are equal to the electrons at its outer shell. The Lewis representation for aluminium is shown on the attached picture.

Best regards.

What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

<em>What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron </em>is<u><em> energy</em></u><em>.</em>

Explanation:

The normal state of the atoms, where all the electrons are occupying the lowest possible energy level, is called ground state.

The <em>valence electrons</em> are the electrons that occupy the outermost shell, this is the electrons in the highest main energy level (principal quantum number) of the atom.

So, a <em>nonvalence electron</em> occupies an orbital with less energy than what a valence electron does; in consequence, in order to a nonvalence electron jump from its lower energy level to the higher energy level of a valence electron, the former has to absorb (gain) energy.

This new state is called excited state and is temporary: the electron promoted to the higher energy level will emit the excess energy, in the form of light (photons), to come back to the lower energy level and so the atom return to the ground state.

During what meterological (weather) changes does sublimation occur on earth?
insens350 [35]
Sublimation occurs more readily when definite weather circumstances are present such as low relative humidity and dry winds. Sublimation also occurs more at higher altitudes where the air pressure is less than at lower altitudes and energy such as strong sunlight is also needed. Sublimation happens a lot in the south face of Mt. Everest which have low temperatures, strong winds, intense sunlight, very low air pressure and the recipe for sublimation to occur.

A solution of a base differs from a solution of an acid in that the solution of a base?A. is able to conduct electricity B. is a
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

  • <u><em>Option D. has a great [OH⁻]</em></u>

Explanation:

1) Both <em>acids</em> and <em>bases</em> ionize in aqueous solutions so they are able to <em>conduct electricity</em>.

The ions, being charged particles, when flow through the solution are charge carriers, then they conduct electricity.

So, the option A does not state a difference between a solution of a base and a solution of an acid.

2) Both acids and bases are able to cause an <em>indicator color change</em>.

The usufulness of the indicators is that they are able to change of color when the pH changes either from acid to basic or from basic to acid. There are different indicators because none is suitable for the whole range of pH, but the statement B is not how solutions of base and acids differ.

3) The model of Arrhenius for acids and bases states that an acid is a substance that ionizes in water releasing H⁺ ions (this is equivalent to H₃O⁺) and a base is a substance that releases OH⁻ ions in water. Then, acids have a greater concentration of H₃O⁺ (so option C is not true for a solution of a base) and bases  have a greater concentraion of OH⁻, making the option D. true.
