Which groups will lose electrons to satisfy the octet rule​

Chemistry
1 answer:
igor_vitrenko [27]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Atoms of metals tend to lose all of their valence electrons, which leaves them with an octet from the next lowest principal energy level. Atoms of nonmetals tend to gain electrons in order to fill their outermost principal energy level with an octet.

Zinc phosphide, Zn3P2, is often used as a rat poison. Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. Assuming that phosphorus is following
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Two electrons each!

Explanation:

The question pretty much requires us to find the oxidation number of Zinc in the compound.

Zn3P2

Following oxidation number rules;

O.N of Zn3P2 = 0

.Since phosphorus has valence of 5, it needs three more electrons to achieve its octet state. Hence;

Oxidation number of P = -3

Let oxidation number of Zn = x

We have;

3x  +  2 (-3) = 0

3x + (-6) = 0

3x = 6

x = 6/3 = 2

This means each zn electrons lost 2 electrons.

Write the beta decay equation for the following isotope: 15/6 C?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

\rm _{6}^{15}\text{C} \longrightarrow \,  _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \,  _{7}^{15}\text{N}

Explanation:

The unbalanced nuclear equation is

\rm _{6}^{15}\text{C} \longrightarrow \,  _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \, ?

Let's write the question mark as a nuclear symbol.

\rm _{6}^{15}\text{C} \longrightarrow \,  _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \,  _{Z}^{A}\text{X}

The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that the sums of the superscripts and the subscripts must be the same on each side of the equation.  

Then

15 =  0 + A, so A = 15 -   0 = 15, and

 6 = -1 + Z, so Z  =   6 + 1 =    7

Then, your nuclear equation becomes

\rm _{6}^{15}\text{C} \longrightarrow \,  _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \,  _{7}^{15}\text{X}

Element 7 is nitrogen, so the balanced nuclear equation is

\rm _{6}^{15}\text{C} \longrightarrow \,  _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \,  _{7}^{15}\text{N}

The air you breathe is made of 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen. The oxygen in air is the _____ and the nitrogen is the _____.
jarptica [38.1K]
The answer is solute, solvent 

<span>In a solution, a solute the component which is present in lesser amount while a solvent is present in greater amount.  </span>Since nitrogen is present in a greater amount than oxygen (78% > 21%), then the oxygen must be the solute and the nitrogen must be the solvent in the air.
