How many dots would a dot diagram for selenium, one of the group 16 elements, have?

Chemistry

vodka [1.7K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Because selenium is in the 16th column on the periodic chart, it has 6 valence electrons. Thus, the Lewis structure (or electron dot structure) for selenium has 6 dots around it.

It will look similar to this without the underscores:

__.

. Se:

_. .

What would you have if you took away two protons from a bismuth atom? (Please be specific)
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Alpha particle

Explanation:

An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, 2 protons and 2 neutrons, loss of an alpha particle give a new element with an atomic number 2 less than the original isotope and an atomic mass that is lower by about 4 amu.

In an atom, the number of neutrons determines most specifically the ________.
lord [1]

In an atom, the number of neutrons determines most specifically the isotopes of an element.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>An atom  </h3>
  • An atom is defined as the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
  • Atoms are made of energy shells and the inner nucleus.
  • It is also made up of subatomic particles, protons and neutrons.
<h3>Neutrons  </h3>
  • They are sub-atomic particles in an atom that are found in the nucleus of an atom. They have a zero charge or no charge.
  • Neutrons are slightly heavier than protons.
  • The number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus of an atom results to the atomic mass number of an atom. Like protons they only take part in nuclear reactions.
<h3>Protons</h3>
  • Protons are subatomic particles that are found in the nucleus of an atom. They are positively charged. with a charge of +1.
  • The number of protons differ from one element to another and thus used as the atomic number of an individual element.
  • The nucleus of an atom is positively charged due to the positive charge of the protons.  
  • Additionally, protons do not take part in chemical reactions but in nuclear reactions.
<h3>Electrons  </h3>
  • They are found orbiting the nucleus on energy shells based on Clouds’ theory. Electrons are negatively charged each with a charge of -1.
  • The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atom are equal. Additionally they have the least mass of the three sub-atomic particles.
  • Electrons are the only sub-atomic particles that take part in chemical reactions.
<h3>Isotopes </h3>
  • Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same mass number but different atomic number.
<h3>Mass number;</h3>
  • Mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of an element.

Keywords: Atom, sub-atomic particles, electrons, protons, neutrons, isotopes

You now know that [Pb+2] = 0.17 M. Calculate [Cl-].
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

0.34 M

Explanation:

I assume that the compound is PbCl2.

One mole of PbCl2 contains one mol of Pb+2 and 2 moles of Cl-

Molarity (M)= moles (n) /Volume (V)

Moles Pb2+ = M x V = 0.17 V

Moles Cl- = moles Pb2+ x (2 moles Cl-/1 mole Pb2+) = 0.17 V x 2 = 0.34 V

M Cl- = moles Cl-/V = 0.34V/V = 0.34 M
