A. how do you determine the charge of an element?

Chemistry
1 answer:
NemiM [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

A. The charge on an element is determined by the differences between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.

An atom will have no charges if the number of protons and electrons are the same.

  • When an atom loses or gains electrons, the number of electrons will either decrease or increase
  • if the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the excess electrons is the charge on the atom. And this makes the atom become a negatively charged ion.
  • if the number of electrons is lesser than the number of protons, the deficient electrons makes the atom a positively charged ion. The number of electrons by which the atom is deficient makes the atom a positively charged ion.

Charge  = number of protons  - number of electrons

B. Electrons form the charges they do because with the charge, they become stable like the noble gases.

The desire of every atom is  to have stable electronic configuration like those of the noble gases.

A potassium atom with a configuration 2 8 8 1 will prefer to lose an electron to become an Argon atom making the ion stable.

Lithium nitride reacts with water to produce ammonia and lithium hydroxide according to the equation, Li3N(s) + 3H2O (L) -->
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

0.480 grams

Explanation:

Li₃N(s) + 3D₂O (L) --------------------------> ND₃(g) + 3LiOD (aq)

1             :  3                                            : 1           :  3

Number of moles (n) = Mass in gram/ Molar Mass

Mass of ND₃ = 160 mg

                     = 0.16 g

Molar mass of ND₃=  [14 + (3 x 2.014 )]

                               =    14 + 6.042

                               =  20.042 g/mol

Number of moles of   ND₃  =  0.16/20.042

                                             =  0.007983 moles

From the reaction equation, the mole ratio between   Heavy water (D₂O ) and  ND₃ is  3: 1.

This implies that the number of moles of   Heavy water (D₂O )  required

= 3  x 0.007983 moles

=  0.023949 moles

Molar mass of  Heavy water (D₂O )=  [(2.014 x 2) + 16]

                                                           =  20.028 g/mol

Mass in grams of Heavy water (D₂O )= Number of moles  x Molar mass

                                                            =   0.023949   x  20.028

                                                            =  0.4797 grams

                                                            ≈ 0.480 grams

How is electronegativity used in determining the ionic or covalent character of the bonding between two elements?
madam [21]

Answer:

If the electronegativity difference between bonded atoms are too much high ionic bonds are formed if the electronegativity diference is 0.4 or less than 0.4 non polar covalnet bond formed the difference greater than 0.4 polar covalent bond formed.

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

Which concept describes the formation of four equivalent, single, covalent bonds by carbon in its compounds that resembles metha
Montano1993 [528]
Carbon is special and unique because it is able to form different compounds with a lot of elements, including itself. When it bonds with itself, this is possible because of the concept of hybridization. It is the mixing of atomic orbitals into a new hybrid orbital. In this case, methane is formed through the sp³ hybridization.
