What role does valence electrons play in reactivity for an element?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kirza4 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The valence electrons within an atom is the number of electrons in its outermost shell.

These electrons are used by an atom to react with one another. They  determine the extent to which an atom is ready to combine either by losing, gaining or sharing these electrons.

  • Every atom desires to have a completely filled outermost shell.
  • Only the elements in group 8 have a complete octet.
  • The need to attain stability is driven by the number of electrons in their valence shell.
  • Therefore, some atoms are very reactive.
  • Those needing one electrons to complete their octet and also those that must lose one electron are very reactive.

W = PdV

Integrating,

We will have,

W = P(V2 - V1)

V2 = 1.35 L

Hope this answers the question.  Have a nice day.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

n(HCl)=1.96 mol

Explanation:

CH4+4Cl2⟶CCl4+4HCl

CCl4+2HF⟶CCl2F2+2HCl

With ideal yields we will end up with 4 moles of HCl.

With 70% yields on every stage

n(HCl)=0.7*0.7*4=1.96 mol

As the temperature is increased how does the substance move?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The movement of substances may occur across a semi‐permeable membrane (such as the plasma membrane). A semi‐permeable membrane allows some substances to pass through, but not others.
