Explain in words or using your diagrams how beryllium atoms would react with fluorine atoms.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]2 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

To delineate the the nature of the bonds that would be formed between the two elements, let us first write the electronic configuration of the two species;

  Be  = 2, 2

  F  = 2, 7

 Beryllium is a metal with two valence electrons whereas fluorine is a halogen with seven valence electrons.

When Be loses two electrons it becomes isoelectronic with He;

                 Be →  Be²⁺ + 2e⁻  

Also, when fluorine gains  an electron, it becomes isoelectronic with Ne;

               F  + e⁻ →  F⁻

This loss and gain of electrons between the two elements creates an electrostatic attraction them and they enter into an electrovalent bond.

      Hence;

           Be²⁺  + 2F⁻ → BeF₂

using the equaation 2h2+o2-->2h2o if 10.0g of hydrogen are used in the presence of excess oxygen how many grams of water will
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

90g of H2O

Explanation:

2H2 + O2 —> 2H2O

First, we calculate the molar masses of H2 And H20.

Molar Mass of H2 = 2g/mol

Mass conc of H2 from the balanced equation = 2 x 2 = 4g

Molar Mass of H2O = 2 + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass conc of H2O from the balanced equation = 2x18 = 36g

From the equation,

4g of H2 produced 36g of H2O

Therefore, 10g of H2 will be produce = (10x36)/4 = 90g of H2O

How does the amount of salt dissolve in water affect the density of water
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Adding salt to the water increases the density of the solution because the salt increases the mass without changing the volume very much. When you add table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) to water, the salt dissolves into ions, Na+ and Cl-. The volume increases by a small factor, but the mass increases by a bigger factor.
