How atoms interact with other atoms is largely dependant on the number of electrons on its outermost layer. The electrons on this layer are called valence electrons.

As you might know, atoms have their electrons arranged in layers/shells, starting at k, l m, n etc. Each layer has a maximum number of electrons it can accommodate, with the outermost one being the valence shell. The first layer (k) can accomodate 2 electrons, the second one (l) can accomodate 8, as can the third one (m) etc.

As a rule of thumb, most atoms don't like being alone. These atoms have a valence shell that isn't saturated. This is the case for hydrogen(1), with one free slot in its outter shell.

However, atoms like helium are a bit different. They are inert, and don't need to bond with other atoms. This is because their valence shell is saturated. In this case, helium saturated the k shell with 2 electrons. Helium in this form will not form bonds.

However, hydrogen is still out there looking for buddies. Hydrogen will bind with any other atom with a free electron. Being extremely common, it's likely that said atom will be another hydrogen.

However, another common example would be for 2 hydrogens to bond with one oxygen, forming h2O (oxygen can form 2 bonds)

Conclusion : helium is inert and will not interact with other atoms. Hydrogen is not, and thus needs to bond with other atoms.

1. Analysis of an unknown substance formerly used in rocket fuel reveals a composition of 93.28% nitrogen and 6.72% hydrogen by
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The formula of the compound is:

N2H2

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question:

Nitrogen (N) = 93.28%

Hydrogen (H) = 6.72%

Next, we shall determine the empirical formula for the unknown compound. This is illustrated below:

N = 93.28%

H = 6.72%

Divide by their molar mass

N = 93.28 /14 = 6.663

H = 6.72 /1 = 6.7

Divide by the smallest

N = 6.663 / 6.663 = 1

H = 6.72 /6.663 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula is NH.

Now, we can obtain the formula of the compound as follow:

The formula of a compound is simply a multiple of the empirical formula.

[NH]n = 30.04

[14 + 1]n = 30.04

15n = 30.04

Divide both side by 15

n = 30.04/15

n = 2

Therefore, the formula of the compound is:

[NH]n => [NH]2 => N2H2

Find the number of moles of the following substances 210 grams of NaHCO3
Triss [41]

The number of moles of 210 grams of NaHCO₃ is 2.5 moles.

<h3>How to find the Number of moles ? </h3>

To calculate the number of moles use the formula

Number of moles = \frac{\text{Given Mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}

Mass of NaHCO₃ = 210 g

Now we have to find the Molar mass of NaHCO₃

= Atomic mass of Na + Atomic mass of H + Atomic mass of C + 3 (Atomic mass of O)

= 23 + 1 + 12 + 3 (16)

= 36 + 48

= 84 g/mol

Now put the value in above formula we get

Number of moles = \frac{\text{Given Mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}

                             = \frac{210\ g}{84\ g/mol}

                             = 2.5 moles

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The number of moles of 210 grams of NaHCO₃ is 2.5 moles.

 the sand is more likely to be hot because it is on land and the sun can be very hot so i think it would heat the sand.  but water is less likely to be heated because its water. and the sun's heat on it would still affect it yes, but not as much as sand
