Answer:
The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity
Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago
Explanation:
All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.
Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)
For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1
Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.
Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.
For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.
Answer:
The original volume of the gas is 0.001 mL
Explanation:
This easy excersise can be solved by the law for gases, about pressure and volume; the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure it exerts.
We can propose the rule by this formula:
P₁ / V₁ = P₂ / V₂
We replace data given: 1.50 atm / V₁ = 0.50 atm / 750 mL
As the rule says, that volume is inversely proportional, and the pressure was decreased, volume must be lower than 750 mL.
1.5atm / (0.5 atm / 750mL) = V₁
V₁ = 0.001 mL
