What do the valence of electrons tell you?

Chemistry
1 answer:
9966 [12]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

valence electrons are the electrons that are located in the outermost electron shell of an element. Knowing how to find the number of valence electrons in a particular atom is an important skill for chemists because this information determines the kinds of chemical bonds that it can form and, therefore, the element's reactivity

Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

a. neutron

Explanation:

A neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons because in order for it to be a neutral atom the charges must be the same.

a neutron has no charge therefore it can be different then the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom as it won't affect the charge.

4) Balance the following redox reaction in an acidic solution. What are the coefficients in front of H⁺ and Fe3+ in the balanced
Kryger [21]

Answer:

- The coefficients in front of H⁺ and Fe³⁺ are 8 and 5

- There are transferred 5 moles of e-

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

Fe²⁺(aq) + MnO₄⁻(aq) → Fe³⁺(aq) + Mn²⁺(aq)

Let's think the oxidation numbers:

Fe2+ changed to Fe3+

It has increased the oxidation number → OXIDATION

Mn in MnO₄⁻ acts with +7 and it changed to Mn²⁺

It has decreased the oxidation number → REDUCTION

Let's make the half reactions:

Fe²⁺ → Fe³⁺  +  1e⁻    (it has lost 1 mol of e⁻)

MnO₄⁻ + 5e⁻ →  Mn²⁺  (it has gained 5 mol of e⁻)

Now we have to ballance the O. In acidic medium we complete with water as many oxygens we have, in the opposite side. We have 4 O in reactant side, so we fill up with 4 H2O in products side.

MnO₄⁻ + 5e⁻ →  Mn²⁺  + 4H₂O

Now we have to ballance the H, so as we have 8 H in products side, we complete with 8H⁺ in reactants, this is the complete half reaction:

8H⁺  + MnO₄⁻ + 5e⁻ →  Mn²⁺  + 4H₂O

Notice that have 1e⁻ in oxidation and 5e⁻ in reduction. We must multiply (x5) the half reaction of oxidation, so the electrons can be cancelled.

(Fe²⁺ → Fe³⁺  +  1e⁻ ) .5

5Fe²⁺ → 5Fe³⁺  +  5e⁻  

8H⁺  + MnO₄⁻ + 5e⁻ →  Mn²⁺  + 4H₂O

We sum both half reactions:

5Fe²⁺  + 8H⁺  + MnO₄⁻ + 5e⁻ →  5Fe³⁺  +  5e⁻   + Mn²⁺  + 4H₂O

The electrons are cancelled, so the ballanced reaction is this:

5Fe²⁺  + 8H⁺  + MnO₄⁻  →  5Fe³⁺  + Mn²⁺  + 4H₂O
