Timbuktu was considered a MASSIVE trade center in Mali. That is how all of the foreign goods came into the kingdom. It also had education centers which was very important in Mali.
Answer:
For the most part, non-metals (excluding Nobel gases) are the most likely to form covalent bonds. Pure covalent bonds are formed between atoms with the same electronegativity, ie. they are trying to hold on to the electrons in the bond with the same strength.
Using electronegativity difference is a good guide to the ionic/ covalent nature. Large differences indicate greater ionic character, small differences more covalent character. The larger the difference in electronegativity the more ionic properties a bond is said to have. The smaller the difference in electronegativity the more covalent properties a bond is said to have.
Ionic bonding is formed through electrostatic attraction between a cation and anion. Foe example, Sodium fluoride has ionic bonding because it is composed by sodium and Fluorine (a non metal). On the other hand, covalent bonding is characterized by atoms sharing pairs of electrons. For example; methane has covalent bonding; carbon has 4 valence electrons and hydrogen has 1; when they bond they have a total of 8 electrons and satisfies the octet rule.
Answer:
C₄H₁₀(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)
2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂(g) ⇒ 8 CO₂(g) + 10 H₂O(g)
Explanation:
Butane gas (C₄H₁₀) burns in oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. The unbalanced equation is:
C₄H₁₀(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)
First, we will balance carbon and hydrogen which are in just one compound on each side.
C₄H₁₀(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ 4 CO₂(g) + 5 H₂O(g)
Finally, we will balance the oxygen atoms.
C₄H₁₀(g) + 6.5 O₂(g) ⇒ 4 CO₂(g) + 5 H₂O(g)
In order to have integers, we will multiply everý compound by 2.
2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂(g) ⇒ 8 CO₂(g) + 10 H₂O(g)
Answer:
number of valence electrons
Explanation:
All of the elements in group 17, also known as group 7A, have 7 valence electrons.
No two elements have the same atomic number nor atomic mass in elemental form.
Halogens may have any number of isotopes.
