Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The valence electrons are electrons found on the valence (outermost) shell of an atom.

When an atoms form compounds, there is an exchange of valence electrons between the atoms of one element and the atoms of another element.

Let us consider a typical example, sodium has one valence electron and chlorine has seven valence electrons. This means that chlorine needs one electron to complete its octet while sodium needs to release one electron in order to attain the octet structure.

So, sodium gives out its one electron and becomes a stable sodium ion and chlorine accepts that electron and becomes a stable chloride ion. This is how the compound sodium chloride is formed.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:Although the term is quite new, our connection to nature is not. We depend on nature for our survival - without healthy ecosystems, our drinking water isn’t clean nor is the air we breathe. We also enjoy nature... studies show that people who spend time in nature tend to be happier than those that don’t. It can even act as a natural anti-depressant. With industry and urban sprawl expanding at unprecedented rates, Ecosystem Services attempt to translate the benefits we receive from nature into economic terms so we can better understand the trade-offs we are making between nature and industrial development.

What is the pressure in a 24.0-LL cylinder filled with 32.7 gg of oxygen gas at a temperature of 319 KK? Express your answer to
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The pressure in that cylinder = 1.12atm

Explanation:

We use general gas law to calculate it. General gas law is gotten by combining Boyle's law, Charles' law and Avogadro's law. Thus

P = nRT/V

Where n = number of moles

R = the gas constant

T is the Temperature, V is the volume and P is the pressure.

Given: T = 319K, V = 24L, R = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

The first step is to find n using

n = mass of O2/molar mass of O2

=32.7/32

=1.0219

Now, using P =nRT/V

P = 1.0219 ×0.0821×319÷24

Therefore P = 1.12atm

Are all single bonds sigma bonds?
Nikolay [14]
Single bonds are those that bond with one atom, and sigma bonds are the strongest type of covalent bonds that are single bonded. 

That means NO, not all single bonds are sigma bond, but all sigma bonds are single bonds.

Determine the total pressure of a mixture of 0.400 mole of He and 0.600 mole of Ne in a 2.00 liter container at 25oC.
harina [27]

Answer:

Total pressure of the mixture is 12.2 atm

Explanation:

Let's apply the Ideal Gases law to solve this

Total pressure . V = Total moles . R . T

Total moles = 0.4 m of He and 0.6 mole of Ne → 1 mol

P . 2L = 1 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol. K . 298K

P = ( 1 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol. K . 298K) /2L

P = 12.2 atm
