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.

pychu [463]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

According to Gay-Lussac Law,

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

If the initial temperature and pressure is standard,

Pressure = 1 atm

Temperature = 273.15 K

then we increase the temperature to 400.0 K, The pressure will be,

1 atm / 273.15 K = P₂/400.0K

P₂ = 1 atm × 400.0 K / 273.15 K

P₂ = 400.0 atm. K /273.15 K

P₂ = 1.46 atm

Pressure is also increase from 1 atm to 1.46 atm.

What is k in the rate law equation?
REY [17]

Answer:

B. A rate constant

Explanation:

The mathematical expression of rate law is given below,

Rate = K[A]m[B]n

This rate law show the relationship between the rate of chemical reaction and concentration of reactants.

In given equation [A] and [B] are molar concentration of reactants while K represent rate constant.

The value of K is specific for particular reaction at particular temperature,

m and n are represent exponents and determine experimentally. The value of K is not depend upon the concentrations of reactant but depend upon the surface area and temperature

How many representative particles are in one mole of CO2? PLEASE ANSWER ALMOST DUE
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

I hope this helps, sorry if it doesnt. Not really good with chemistry, hope you have a great day/night :}

Explanation:

A mole (mol) is the amount of a substance that contains 6.02 × 10 23 representative particles of that substance.

12.00 g C-12 = 1 mol C-12 atoms = 6.022 × 1023 atoms • The number of particles in 1 mole is called Avogadro's Number (6.0221421 x 1023).
