An element with the electron configuration: [noble gas] ns2 (n - 1)d10 np3 has how many_____________ valence electrons.

Chemistry

Marina86 [1]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct option is e. 5

Explanation:

An element with the electron configuration [noble gas] ns² (n - 1)d¹⁰ np³ belongs to the nitrogen group element - group 15 - in a period higher than 2. The element could be As, Sb or Bi. For example, arsenic (As) has the electron configuration [Ne] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p³.

The valence electrons are those in the highest energy level, in a s or p sublevel. For the elements with the general electron configuration [noble gas] ns² (n - 1)d¹⁰ np³ has 5 valence electrons: 2 electrons in a s sublevel and 3 electrons in a p sublevel. The electrons in the d orbital are in a lowest energy level (n-1).

Therefore, the correct option is e. 5.

Ammonium chloride is salt, and when we add solid salt into water, it’s dissolved and nothing happens. The only thing happens when any salt dissolved in water, is becoming its ions and improve its conductivity.

NH4Cl(s) + H2O(l) → NH4+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + H2O(l)

Describe how sodium conducts thermal energy. [3 Marks]
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

In metals, some of the electrons (often one per atom) are not stuck to individual atoms but flow freely among the atoms. Of course, that's why metals are such good conductors of electricity. Now if one end of a bar is hot, and the other is cold, the electrons on the hot end have a little more thermal energy- random jiggling- than the ones on the cold end. So as the electrons wander around, they carry energy from the hot end to the cold end, which is another way of saying they conduct heat.

Here, sodium is a metal which possesses an extra (valence) electron carries the heat around its body as it is a free electron, which enables sodium to conduct thermal energy.

Hope this help :)

Calculate the pH of a solution that is 0.113 M HCI.
Alex Ar [27]

Simplified concentration

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 1.13\times 10^{-2}M

Now

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow pH=-log[H^+]

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow pH=-log(1.13\times 10^{-2})

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow pH=-log1.13-log10^{-2}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow pH=-0.05+2

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow pH=1.95

Highly acidic
