How does the number of valence electrons determine the type and number of bonds an element forms?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Advocard [28]3 years ago
8 0
The number of electrons in an atom's outermost valence shell governs its bonding behaviour. Elements whose atoms have the same number of valence electrons are grouped together in the Periodic Table. ... Nonmetals tend to attract additional valence electrons to form either ionic or covalent bonds.

3. Dorji was provided with four colourless solutions. He was asked to
givi [52]

Answer:

First, we can test Solution 1. We know that Sodium Hydroxide is a strong base. If we test acids on blue litmus paper, they will turn red. If we test bases on red litmus paper, they will turn blue.  So, you can test all the of the solutions- water, sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid with blue and red litmus paper. HCl, Hydrochloric acid is an acid, so it will turn blue litmus paper red. It will not turn red litmus blue. The acids will turn blue litmus paper red. The bases will turn red litmus paper blue. Only water is a neutral liquid, which will not turn blue litmus paper red or red litmus paper blue. It will not change the colour of it. Thus, if you test all the solutions with blue and red litmus paper, you will know which solution is water.  Water is the only one which is neutral. It is the only solution which cannot change the colour of any litmus paper. Thus, you can identify it very easily.

Which solute produces the highest boiling point in a 0.15 m aqueous solution?
saul85 [17]
In order to determine the increase in boiling point of a solvent due to the presence of a solute, we use the formula:

ΔT = Kb * m * i

Here, Kb is a property of the solvent, so remains constant regardless of the solute. Moreover, because the concentration m has been fixed, this will also not be considered. In order to determine which solute will have the greatest effect, we must check i, the van't Hoff factor.

Simply stated, i is the number of ions that a substance produces when dissolved. Therefore, the solute producing the most ions will be the one causing the greatest change in boiling point temperature.

Given the following information: benzoic acid = C6H5COOH hydrocyanic acid = HCN C6H5COOH is a stronger acid than HCN (1) Write t
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The net ionic equation is

C6H5COOH+ CN-= C6H5COO- + HCN

Explanation:

From the ionic equation

C6H5COOH + Na+ + CN- = C6H5COO- + Na+ + HCN

Only sodium is the spectator ion, so it cancels out, since C6H5COOH and HCN do not ionize completely they are left undissociated
