Simple molecules have no overall charge, or charged particles that can separate, so simple molecular substances cannot conduct electricity, even when liquid or dissolved in water.
The answer is conductors
You welcome : )
Methionine is an amino acid and like some amino acid, it has a zwitterion form. A zwitterion form is a form of molecule showing separate positive and negative charges. The hydrogen from the carboxylic acid group will transfer to the amino group producing a negative charge at the carboxyl group and a positive charge at the amino group.
Find the [OH-] in the solution. The pH is 9.5, so the pOH is 14 - 9.5 = 4.5.
[OH-] = 10^-4.5 M
Now use the dilution equation to find the new [OH-] after the volume is reduced from 150 mL to 50 mL:
M1V1 = M2V2
M1 = 10^-4.5 M
V1 = 150 mL
M2 = ?
V2 = 50 mL
(10^-4.5)(150) = M2(50)
M2 = 9.5 x 10^-5 M ≈ 1 • 10^-4 (We can only use one sig fig, because the pH was given to one decimal place.)
Now use this [OH-] to find pOH:
pOH = -log(1 x 10^-4) = 4.0
14 - pOH = pH, so the expected pH for the new solution is 10.
Answer:
5 electrons
Explanation:
Valence electrons are electrons located in the outermost energy shell, so you want to count the number of electrons in the last energy shell.
You can divide the configuration into 1s2 / 2s22p6 / 3s23p3 to see the energy shells in this atom. There are 3 shells occupied by the atom's electrons, so you need to count the electrons in the third shell as those are its valence electrons.
2 + 3 = 5 valence electrons total
Note: you don't count the 3 before the letter because that only indicates the shell level, not the number of electrons. Count only the exponents.
