What are valence electrons?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Helga [31]3 years ago
5 0
In chemistry and physics, a valence electron is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

A cube of an unknown metal measures 0.200 cm on one side. The mass of the cube is 52 mg. Which of the following is most likely t
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Option E. Zirconium

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Length of side (L) of cube = 0.2 cm

Mass (m) of cube = 52 mg

Name of the unknown metal =?

Next, we shall determine the volume of the cube. This can be obtained as follow:

Length of side (L) of cube = 0.2 cm

Volume (V) of the cube =?

V = L³

V = 0.2³

V = 0.008 cm³

Next, we shall convert 52 mg to g. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 mg = 1 g

Therefore,

52 mg = 52 mg × 1 g / 1000 mg

52 mg = 0.052 g

Thus, 52 mg is equivalent to 0.052 g.

Next, we shall determine the density of the unknown metal. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass = 0.052 g.

Volume = 0.008 cm³

Density =?

Density = mass / volume

Density = 0.052 / 0.008

Density of the unknown metal = 6.5 g/cm³

Comparing the density of the unknown metal i.e 6.5 g/cm³ with those given in table in the above, we can conclude that the unknown metal is zirconium

Which sequence of events is required to form a limestone cave where you can walk around and observe cave formations, such as sta
N76 [4]

Answer:

Which sequence of events is required to form a limestone cave where you can walk around and observe cave formations, such as stalactites? (Note: stalactites hang from the ceiling - they have to hold on tight to the roof.)

A geological sequence of events as involving the lowering of the water table to expose cave structures where stalactites and stalagmites form which is described as follows,

Explanation:

1. Acidic percolated water formed cavities of solution beneath the natural water table known as phreatic zone

2. After the passage of time there is a drop in the water table dropped forming caves from cavities

3. These caves, which are air filled voids that contains adequate environment for forming stalactites and stalagmites and where they are found

Using the following equation for the combustion of octane calculate the heat associated with the formation of 100.0 g of carbon
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The right solution is "-602.69 KJ heat".

Explanation:

According to the question,

The 100.0 g of carbon dioxide:

= \frac{100.0 \ g}{114.33\  g/mole}

= 0.8747 \ moles

We know that 16 moles of CO_2 formation associates with -11018 kJ of heat, then

0.8747 moles CO_2 formation associates with,

= -\frac{0.8747}{16}\times 11018 \ KJ \ of \ heat

= -0.0547\times 11018

= -602.69 \ KJ \ heat
