Which element's total number of electrons is equal to the number of core

Chemistry

horsena [70]3 years ago

Answer:

Neon (Ne)

Explanation:

The atomic number of Chlorine is seventeen and its number of valance electrons are seven, so number of core electrons will be ten.

Valance electrons;

These are the electrons which are present in put most valance shells and take part in bonding.

Core electrons:

These are the electrons present in inner to the valance shell and closer to the nucleus. These electrons do not take part in bonding.

Electronic configuration:

Cl₁₇ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵

Core electrons = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ = 10

Valance electrons = 3s² 3p⁵ = 7

The number of core electrons are ten and atomic number of neon is also ten. So, the number of core electrons of chlorine will be equal to the total number of electrons of neon.

explain why the hydrogen atoms in a hydrogen gas molecule form nonpolar covalent bonds but oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water mo
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards itself and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

Non polar covalent bond:

It is the bond where both bonded atoms share the pair of electron equally.

For example:

Hydrogen gas (H₂) is non polar covalent compound because the electronegativity of both bonded atoms are same. No poles are created that's why this is non polar covalent compound.

Polar covalent bond:

It is the bond where both bonded atoms share the pair of electron unequally.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive and bond is polar.
