The number of electrons in an ion with 16 protons and an ionic charge of 2- is ________.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Paladinen [302]4 years ago
3 0

In a given neutral atom, actually the number of protons and electrons are equal. So ideally in this case the number of electrons should also be 16. However we have an ionic charge of negative 2. Since it is negative, this means there are 2 more electrons than protons, hence the answer is:

 

<span>18 electrons</span>

The last element in any period always has:
brilliants [131]

Answer: The correct option is The properties of a noble gas.

Explanation: There are 7 periods in the periodic table.

The last element of each period are Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), Radon (Rn) and Ununoctium (Uuo).

  • The electronic configuration for Helium is 1s^2. For He, The outermost electrons are 2.
  • The electronic configuration for all the other elements is ns^2ns^6 ( where, n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 respectively). For all the other gases, the outermost electrons are 8.

All these elements have stable electronic configuration and are not reactive in nature. Hence, they are considered as noble gases.

Therefore, the last element of each period always have the properties of a noble gas.

Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol has the tert-butyl group in the equatorial position and the alcohol in the ________ position.
Anni [7]

Answer:

Axial

Explanation:

In the most stable conformation of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol, the tert-butyl group is at equatorial position and the alcohol group is in the axial position.

If the tert-butyl group is placed in equatorial position, repulsions are minimized. The bulkier the group, the greater the energy difference between the axial and equatorial conformers. Hence for a ring having a bulky substituent, such bulky substituent is better placed in the equatorial position.

The energy difference between the conformers of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol is so high that the compound is almost "frozen" in a conformation  where the tert-butyl groups are equatorial and the -OH groups are axial. This conformer is more stable by 24 KJ/mol.

The reaction 2 ClO2(g) + F2(g) → 2 FClO2(g) is first-order in both ClO2 and F2. When the initial concentrations of ClO2 and F2 a
kupik [55]

Answer:

3. 75.0%

Explanation:

2 ClO2(g) + F2(g) → 2 FClO2(g)

First order with respect to ClO2 and F2.

This means the rate equation is given as;

Rate = k [ClO2][F2]

When the initial concentrations of ClO2 and F2 are equal?

Let's assume an initial value of 1 for both reactants, so rate equation is given as;

Rate = k * 1 * 1 = k

The rate after 25% of the F2 has reacted is what percent of the initial rate?

The concentration left of F2 is 75% ( 100% - 25%) = 0.75

Concentration of ClO2 remains 1.

So rate equation is given as;

Rate = k * 1 * 0.75 = 0.75 k

Comparing 0.75k and k.

This means our answer is;

3. 75.0%
