When bonding to other elements, it is easier for a sodium atom to gain seven electrons than to lose one electron.

Chemistry

Answer:

it's easier to lose one electron because it's less work for the atom to do and easier to lose one than gain a whole 7, because the atom wants to gain a full outer shell as soon as possible

Use the periodic table to answer the questions below.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
The three of them have the same amount of electrons, so we can’t determine the right one on that ground. As you might know, Pauli said that electrons are always in the position of the lowest energy. So the first situation is impossible because there is a free place available that takes less energy. Then the 3rd situation is nor possible because if one electron has a different spin than the others, there is a magnetic obstruction that be prevented if the spin changes. This means that the second situation is the right one.

This chart show the amount of radioactivity measured from three unknown isotopes. Which statement describes each of the isotopes
Natalija [7]

Answer: Isotope A was measured at day 24, Isotope B was measured at day 6, and Isotope C was measured at day 10.

Explanation:

The half-life time is defined as the time needed for the radioactive isotope to decay to the half of its initial concentration.

  • Isotope A: its starting weight 95 g and its ending measured weight is 5.9.

95 → 47.5 (half-life 1) → 23.75 (half-life 2) → 11.875 (half-life 3) → 5.9 (half-life 4).

It needs 4 half-lives to decay from 95 to 5.9.

half-life time of isotope A = 6 days.

the time taken to measure isotope A = (4 x 6 days) = 24 days.

  • Isotope B: its starting weight 20 g and its ending measured weight is 2.5.

20 → 10 (half-life 1) → 5 (half-life 2) → 2.5 (half-life 3).

It needs 3 half-lives to decay from 20 to 2.5.

half-life time of isotope B = 2 days.

the time taken to measure isotope B = (3 x 2 days) = 6 days.

  • Isotope C: its starting weight 45 g and its ending measured weight is 22.5.

45 → 22.5 (half-life 1)

It needs 1 half-life to decay from 45 to 22.5.

half-life time of isotope C = 10 days.

the time taken to measure isotope C = (1 x 10 days) = 10 days.

The colors seen on the shiny side of a cd or dvd are due to
nydimaria [60]

They are seen due to the light bouncing off of it. It is almost like a mirror so, it reflects the light so your eyes can see the bright light. Also, the colors are seen because of the light refracting. :)

The lewis dot structure for CSBr2?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

See attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, by considering that the carbon has four valence electrons as it is in group IVA, sulfur has six valence electrons as it is in group VIA and bromine has seven valence electrons as it is in group VIIA we infer that the carbon is the central atom in CSBr2 so one double bond between carbon and sulfur makes it complete the octet and two carbon-to-bromine bonds are formed in order to complete the octets of both carbon and bromine as shown on the attached picture.

Best regards!

saw5 [17]
The area where she is flying in windless conditions along the equator is called doldrums. Doldrums is a windless zone at the equator caused by warm rising air. The zone experience bands of showers and storms due to the hot air that rises and cools.
