How can you find the amount of valence electrons an atom of an element contains?

Chemistry
1 answer:
seraphim [82]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

For neutral atoms, the number of valence electrons is equal to the atom's main group number. The main group number for an element can be found from its column on the periodic table. For example, carbon is in group 4 and has 4 valence electrons. Oxygen is in group 6 and has 6 valence electrons.

How a cation is formed by an atom?​
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Cations are positively charged atoms and hence we need to make the atom positively charged in order to get a cation

We know that an atom is neutral as a whole, so we have equal number of electrons and protons

since we cannot mess with the number of protons in an atom, we have to do it by altering the number of electrons

If we reduce the amount of electrons in an atom, the net charge will be positive and hence a cation will be formed

A 0.55 g sample of H20 contains how many<br>molecules of water?<br>Answer in units of molec.​
noname [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Num of molecules = num of moles * Avogadro's constant (6.02* 10^23)

But num of moles = reacting mass / molar mass

Molar mass of H20= 2*1 + 16 = 2+16 = 18g

Reacting mass of H20 = 0.55g

Therefore, num of moles of H20 = 0.55g/18g = 0.031 moles

Therefore, num of molecules of H20 = 0.031 * 6.02*10^23

= 1.87*10^22 molecules of H20

What can you conclude from the fact that electrons orbit far away from atomic nuclei?
suter [353]
Electrons are extremely small. Atoms are comprised mostly of empty space. Protons have a positive charge.
