Why valence electrons are important for understanding how an element will form bonds with other elements?

Chemistry

The valence electrons determines the bonding of elements
bonding is based on the metallic characteristics of the element e.g
ionic bonding has to do with bonding between metallic and non metallic element  e.g. Na and CL
Na is a metal while Cl is a non metals
Na has 11 electron 2,8,1 while Cl has17 electrons 2,8,7,
 the compound NaCl is formed .by the two elements forming an octet structure
so without understanding  valence electrons you cannot understand bonding

Ca(s)+br2(l)⟶cabr2(s) express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer.
prohojiy [21]
The question requires to balance the equation.

The equation is already balanced, so the answer is:

<span>Ca(s)+Br2(l)⟶CaBr2(s)
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Explanation:
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>1) The phases are identified with a letter to the right of the compound or element:
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>So, for Ca, the phase is (s) which means solid.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>For Br₂ (l) the phase is (l) which means liquid.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>For CaBr₂(s) the phase is (s) which means solid.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>2) The core work of balancing is make the number of atoms of each element on the reactants equal to the same number of atoms on the products side.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>That is the law of conservation of mass applied to chemcial reactions.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>3) So, you have to add coefficientes on the right place to make the number of atoms on the left side equal to the number of the same kind of atom on the right side.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>In this table you can verify that the equation given is balanced:
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>atom            left side             right side
</span><span>
</span><span>Ca                  1                           1
</span><span>
</span><span>Br                   2                           2
</span><span>
</span><span>So, you do not need to modify any coefficients.

A chemical equation is shown below. pls and ty
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The given equation is not balanced.

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

3H₂ + 3Cl₂   →  HCl

The balanced equation always have equal number of atoms on both side of equation. In this equation on left side there are six atoms of chlorine and six atoms of hydrogen are present while on right side only one atom of hydrogen and one atom of chlorine are present.

The balanced equation always follow the law of conservation of mass.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction.

It means reactant and product always have same mass.

The given equation can written as balanced equation as follows,

Balanced chemical equation:

3H₂ + 3Cl₂   →  6HCl

There are equal number of atoms of hydrogen and chlorine are present on both side of equation so it follow the law of conservation of mass.
