The answers to the questions are as follows;
- It would gain three electrons
- The difference in their electronegativities.
- The elements have filled Valence levels
- potassium (K) with a 1+ charge
- ClO-
Question 1:
- How would the electron configuration of nitrogen change to make a stable configuration?
Since Nitrogen has 5 Valence electrons, it needs 3 electrons to attain it's octet configuration. As such, it gains 3 electrons.
Question 2:
- Which quantity determines how two atoms bond.
The quantity which determines how two atoms bond is The difference in their electronegativities.
Question 3:
- Which statement best explains why the elements in Group 18 do not have electronegativity values.
This is because the elements have filled Valence levels.
Question 4:
- Based on patterns in the periodic table, which ion has a stable valence electron configuration
The ion which has a stable Valence electron configuration is potassium (K) with a 1+ charge
Question 5;
- Which chemical formula represents a polyatomic ion?
The chemical formula which represents a polyatomic ion is; ClO-
B. An equal amount of protons and electrons
Ionic bonds are formed from the attraction of oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound
Answer:
0.50 moles of Cu
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation for given synthetic reaction is,
2 Cu + S → Cu₂S
According to balance chemical equation,
1 mole of Cu₂S is produced by = 2 moles of Cu
So,
0.25 moles of Cu₂S will be produced by = X moles of Cu
Solving for X,
X = 0.25 mol × 2 mol / 1 mol
X = 0.50 moles of Cu
Hence, as the molar ratio of Cu to Cu₂S is 2:1 hence, to produce 0.25 moles of Cu₂S we will need 0.50 moles of Cu.
