The oxygen atom has 4 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons found in the outermost shell of an atom. These are the electrons that participate in chemical reactions during bonding. Since 4 electrons make up 2 pairs, an oxygen atom is capable of making <em>2 covalent bonds</em>.
Answer:
Döbereiner singled out triads of the elements lithium, sodium and potassium as well as chlorine, bromine and iodine. He noticed that if the three members of a triad were ordered according to their atomic weights, the properties of the middle element fell in between those of the first and third elements.
Explanation:
Answer:
The net energy is 2.196 eV
Explanation:
Basically, the energy of an atom increases when it absorbs a photon. In addition, the wavelength of the emitted photon is longer such that the atom absorbed a net energy in the process.
Using:
ΔE = h*c*(1/λ
- 1/λ
)
where:
ΔE is the net energy in eV (electron-volt). 1 eV is equivalent to 1.602*
