JulijaS [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The electron configuration for this atom is Calcium, which has 2 valence electrons.

Explanation:

Following the periodic table and with the electron configuration, you will end up with calcium, which has 2 valence electrons. (Always follow the electron configuration from left to right! It begins at hydrogen, then to helium... and so on.)

1s2 -> He....

2s2 -> Be....

2p6 -> Ne...

3s2 -> Mg...

3p6 -> Ar...

4s2 -> Ca.

Explain why, when the imidazole ring of histidine is protonated, the double-bonded nitrogen is the nitrogen that accepts the pro
eduard
The important thing to note is the reason why electron react is due to the instability of the electrons. All elements wants to aim the electron configuration of the noble gases. This is the most stable form in which each of the orbitals are sufficiently filled. When it comes to bonding, the order of reactivity is: alkynes > alkenes > alkanes. Alkynes are compounds with triple bonds, alkenes with double bonds and alkanes with single bonds. The single bonds are called saturated hydrocarbons. This is because they have reached stability, so it is quite difficult to react this with reducing or oxidizing agents. Alkynes and alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons. They readily react with reducing and oxidizing agents so as to become saturated, as well. The underlying principle for this is that single bonds contain sigma bonds which is the head-on overlapping of electrons. These is the strongest type of covalent bond. Double and triple bonds contain pi bonds which is the side overlapping of electrons orbitals. Hence, these electrons would be easily separated making it more reactive especially during protonation.

A balloon is filled with 0.400 moles of gas. How many liters of gas at STP were pumped into the balloon?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

8.96 L

Explanation:

At STP, 1 mole = 22.4 L

0.400 mole *   (22.4 L. /1 mole of gas) = 8.96 L

Please help me, I really don't want to fail but I don't know how to do this
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

A)

<u>4, 7, 4, 6</u>

B)

<u>12 moles</u>

Explanation:

NH_{3}(g) + O_{2}(g) \: → NO_{2} + H_{2}O(g)

__↑______↑

8.00 mol | 14.00 mol

________________

NH_{3}(g) + O_{2}(g) \: → NO_{2} + H_{2}O(g)

You can turn this into a system of variables which are solvable.

To do this, create variables for the coefficients of each compound in the reaction respectively.

a(NH_{3}(g)) + b(O_{2}(g)) → \\c(NO_{2}) + d(H_{2}O(g))

Because to be balanced, the count of atoms in each element of the compound correspond to the coefficient of the variable in that compound so that the count of the left (reactant) side is set equal to the right (product) side.

a corresponds to the coefficient of the first compound, b corresponds to the coefficient of the second compound, c corresponds to the coefficient of the third compound, and d corresponds to the coefficient of the fourth compound.

(Reactant = Product)

Reactant: 1a [N] Product: 1c.

Reactant: 3a [H] Product: 2d.

Reactant: 2b [O] Product: 2c + 1d.

Thus the system is:

1a = 1c

3a = 2d

2b = 2c + 1d.

Then just use the substitution methods to solve.
