Answer:
About one valence electron
Explanation:
Obviously, removing that electron gives us [Ar] (same configuration as K1+), which is a noble gas and has 8 electrons. Valence electrons are generally regarded as being 'the outermost electrons' for a given atom. Therefore, with neutral potassium, there is one valence electron
Answer:
Explanation:
1) Chemical formula of sodium carbonate: <em>Na₂CO₃</em>
2) Ratio of carbon atoms:
- The number of atoms of C in the unit formula Na₂CO₃ is the subscript for the atom, which is 1 (since it is not written).
Hence, the ratio is 1 C atom / 1 Na₂CO₃ unit formula.
This is, there is 1 atom of carbon per each unit formula of sodium carbonate.
3) Calculate the number of moles in 1.773 × 10⁷ carbon atoms
- Divide by Avogadro's number: 6.022 × 10²³ atoms / mol
- number C moles = 1.773 × 10⁷ atoms / (6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol)
- number C moles = 2.941 × 10⁻¹⁷ mol
Since, the ratio is 1: 1, the number of moles of sodium carbonate is the same number of moles of carbon atoms.
This type of formula is use in chemistry it has Iron ,Sodium, Hydroxyl and Chloride unit s in the equation.
