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.
The equivalency point is at the point of the titration where the amount of titrant added neutralize the solution. When it’s a strong acid strong base titration, the equivalence point will be 7. When it is a weak acid strong base, the equivalence point it more basic (the exact number depends on what acid and base you use). And when it is a strong acid weak base, the equivalence number is more acid (the exact number depends on what acid and base you use). Hope this helps!
Answer:
Krypton is named after the Greek word that means "secret." Which explains why krypton was most likely given this name? Krypton is a noble gas, so it was difficult for chemists to find it, as though it was a secret.
Explanation:
Mass is often the most common and weight is its close to that but I'd go with mass
Answer:
The correct answer is option c. transfer of electrons from Mg to O.
Explanation:
Hello!
Let's solve this!
When Magnesium (Mg) reacts with oxygen (O), magnesium oxide is formed.
This reaction is spontaneous and occurs with oxidation number +2 of magnesium and oxidation number -2 of oxygen. It is an ionic union, so magnesium transfers its electrons to oxygen.
We conclude that the correct answer is option c. transfer of electrons from Mg to O.
