Answer:
Explanation:
Chemical properties of atoms relies solely on the number of electrons they contain, more particularly, the valence or outermost electrons in the orbit round the nucleus of an atom.
A neutral atom is one that has not gained or lost electron or even shared electrons with any other atom.
On close examination of how electrons are distributed in the orbits of an atom, we can know if an atom will gain or lose electrons in a reaction. This is very important in determining the chemical properties of an atom.
Answer:
Explanation:
The movement of the electrons is illustrated in the picture attached to this answer. It is a four-step reaction mechanism.
First STEP: The first step involves the transfer of an electron from sodium to form a radical anion.
Second STEP: This radical anion then removes a proton/hydrogen from ammonia in a bid to neutralize itself (hence the hydrogen becomes bonded to the anion).
Third STEP: The sodium (from NaNH₂ formed) transfers an electron again to produce a vinyl carbanion.
Fourth STEP: The carbanion then removes a proton/hydrogen from ammonia (like in the second step) to form a neutral trans-alkene.
NOTE: The circled numbers denote each step while the mechanism on the left represents the use of any alkyl group (R and R') while the mechanism on the right assumes both alkyl groups are methyl. Hence, 2-butyne started the reaction and the final product was trans-2-butene.
Answer: The amount of energy lost by the metal is equal to the amount of energy gained by the water
Explanation:
Answer:
Noble gas Electronic configuration of arsenic:
As₃₃ = [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p³
Explanation:
Arsenic is metalloid.
Its atomic number is 33.
Its atomic mass is 75 amu.
Its symbol is As.
It is usually present in combine with sulfur and metals.
it is used in bronzing.
It is also used for hardening.
Electronic configuration:
As₃₃ = Is² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p³
Noble gas Electronic configuration:
As₃₃ = [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p³
Noble gas electronic configuration is shortest electronic configuration by using the noble gas elements full octet electronic configuration.
