How many valance electrons does oxygen have

Chemistry
1 answer:
svet-max [94.6K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Six

Explanation:

Oxygen has six valence electrons in its elemental form so its formal charge is 6 – 6 = 0. Each hydrogen atom owns one electron [(2x½) = 1].

Write a balanced chemical equation describing the oxidation of the bromide ion by solid xenon trioxide to produce bromine liquid
ki77a [65]

Answer:

6Br⁻ + XeO₃ + 6H⁺ → 3Br₂ + Xe + 3H₂O  

Explanation:

First, we need to write the half-reactions:

2Br⁻ → Br₂ + 2e⁻ Oxidation -Balanced yet-

XeO₃ →  Xe Reduction

To balance the reduction in acidic aqueous solution we need to add waters in the other side of the reaction as oxygens are present:

XeO₃ →  Xe + 3H₂O

And H⁺ as hydrogens from water we have:

XeO₃ + 6H⁺ →  Xe + 3H₂O

To balance the charge:

<h3>XeO₃ + 6H⁺ + 6e⁻ →  Xe + 3H₂O  Reduction -Balanced-</h3><h3 />

To cancel out the electrons of both half-reaction we need to multiply oxidation 3 times:

6Br⁻ → 3Br₂ + 6e⁻

XeO₃ + 6H⁺ + 6e⁻ →  Xe + 3H₂O  

And the balanced reaction in acidic aqueous solution is the sum of both half-reactions:

<h3>6Br⁻ + XeO₃ + 6H⁺ → 3Br₂ + Xe + 3H₂O  </h3>

13. Mercury has one of the lowest heat capacities. If 257J of heat are added to 5500g of mercury,the mercury's temp will increas
NikAS [45]

Given:

257J of heat

5500g of mercury

increase by 5.5 degrees Celsius

Required:

Specific heat of mercury

Solution:

H = mCpT

257J = (5500g of mercury) Cp (5.5 degrees Celsius)

Cp = 8.5 x 10^-3 Joules per gram per degree Celsius

Consider the Bohr Model of Phosphorus below. Which statement is FALSE?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

(C) Energy is released when the electron is ejected from the atom.

Explanation:

In the Bohr model of the atom, electrons are arranged in energy levels. The electrons in the lowest energy levels are nearest to the nucleus. An electron may move from a lower to a higher energy level by absorbing energy that is equal to the difference between the energies of the higher and lower energy level.

The potential energy of all electrons inside the atom have negative values and an electron which is infinitely far from the nucleus has an electrostatic potential energy of zero.

Energy is absorbed when an electron is removed from the atom (ionization). Hence the process is highly endothermic. Therefore it is false to say that "Energy is released when the electron is ejected from the atom."
