Identify the number of core and valence electrons for each atom.

Chemistry

3 0

Answer:

1. Core electrons = 1s²; Valence electrons = 2s² and 2p³

2. Core electrons = 1s², 2s²,m2p⁶; Valence electrons = 3s² and 3p⁵

Explanation:

The electrons in an atom of an element are generally divided into two groups: the core electrons and the Valence electrons

Valence electrons are those electrons which are located of or found in the outermost shell or highest energy level of an atom. These valence electrons are the one that determine the chemical reactivity of an atom as they can participate in bond formation between atoms of the same element or with atoms of other elements. The valence electrons also, generally determine the group to which an element will belong to.

Core electrons on the other hand, are those electrons which are found within the innermost shell or lowest energy levels of the atom. They are strongly attracted to the nucleus of atom and do not take part in chemical bonding. However, they play the important role of shieldingnthe valence electrons from the positive charge of the nucleus thereby assisting the valence electrons in bond formation.

What is the reason carbon atoms are the most versatile building blocks of the molecules used by living organisms?
WITCHER [35]

Explanation:

Atomic number of carbon is 6. So, 4 valence electrons are present.

Therefore, it can form 4 covalent bonds with varying bond angles by sharing its valence electrons.

Catenation is also an important property of carbon. Catenation is bonding with atoms of same element. Carbon skeleton can be formed in any direction and can vary in length, branching, and ring structure.

Elements required for making most of the molecules in living organisms are:

C, H, N, O, P and S

Carbon easily form covalents with other 5 elements.

These properties make carbon most versatile building blocks of the molecules used by living organisms.

Write the complete balanced equation for the reaction between CaCO3 and KCI
EleoNora [17]

CaCO3 + 2KCL ⇒ CaCl2 + K2CO3

It is balanced as so based on the charges given on the periodic table and polyatomic ions.

Calcium has the charge of 2 but CO3 also shares the same charge, thus cancelling that out.

Potassium has a charge of 1 while Chlorine also shares a charge of 1, also cancelling it out.

Thus, if it performs a double replacement reaction, they would take these charges to the new elements that do not cancel out their charges.

Therefore, we need the coefficient of 2 in front of Potassium Chloride in order to balance the equation as on the products side of the equation, Potassium and Chlorine both have a subscript of 2.

Hope this helps!
