Determine the number of valence electrons for the following: [kr] 5s2 4d6

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: B) 2 (as indicated by electron distribution shown), but taking into account the real properties of this element, 4,7,8 also occur (see below).

Explanation:

This is the electron complement/atomic number of ruthenium, which actually has the structure [Kr] 5s1 4d7

Nevertheless, Ru does not form Ru(I) compounds and few Ru(II) compounds (RuCl2, RuBr2, RuI2). It also forms Ru(III)Cl3 and a larger number of Ru(IV) compounds, e.g. RuO2, RuS2. It also forms RuO4

What kinds of information does a structural formula reveal about the compound it represents

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

In organic chemistry, the structural formula shows the bonding and general layout of the molecule.

Explanation:

It can also help in naming the molecule, as many compounds with the same molecular formula have different structural formulas, for example cycloalkanes and alkenes, or aldehydes and ketones.

It tells us about the constituents of the compound, or in other words, the functional groups present. This enables us to predict what kind of properties the compound has and what kind of reactions it can undergo.

It can also help us determine the stereochemistry (shape and spatial orientation) of the compound. This is especially important in organic chemistry and organic chemstry, since certain important reactions will proceed if and only if a molecule with the right shape is employed.

Round off each number to the indicated number significant figures (sf):

qaws [65]

Answer :

(a) The given number in 2 significant figures will be, $3.6\times 10^3$

(b) The given number in 4 significant figures will be, $3.583\times 10^1$

(c) The given number in 3 significant figures will be, $2.24\times 10^1$

Explanation :

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

(a) The given number 00003554 converted into 2 significant figures.

In 00003554, there are 4 significant figures. Now we have to convert it into 2 significant figures.

The given number in 2 significant figures will be, $3.6\times 10^3$

(b) The given number 35.8348 converted into 4 significant figures.

In 35.8348, there are 6 significant figures. Now we have to convert it into 4 significant figures.

The given number in 4 significant figures will be, $3.583\times 10^1$

(c) The given number 22.4555 converted into 3 significant figures.

In 22.4555, there are 6 significant figures. Now we have to convert it into 3 significant figures.

The given number in 3 significant figures will be, $2.24\times 10^1$
