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

1 answer:

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.

What is the theoretical yield of Calcium if we begin with 12.6 grams of Aluminium?

AlladinOne [14]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The given chemical reaction is:

$2Al+3Cu(NO_3)_2\rightarrow 3Cu+2Al(NO_3)_3$

What is the theoretical yield of Calcium if we begin with 12.6 grams of Aluminium?

<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield of copper is 44.48 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of aluminium = 12.6 g

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of aluminium}=\frac{12.6g}{27g/mol}=0.467mol$

The given chemical equation follows:

$2Al+3Cu(NO_3)_2\rightarrow 3Cu+2Al(NO_3)_3$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium produces 3 moles of copper

So, 0.467 moles of aluminium will produce = $\frac{3}{2}\times 0.467=0.7005mol$ of copper

Now, calculating the mass of copper from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of copper = 63.5 g/mol

Moles of copper = 0.7005 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.7005mol=\frac{\text{Mass of copper}}{63.5g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of copper}=(0.7005mol\times 63.5g/mol)=44.48g$

Hence, the theoretical yield of copper is 44.48 grams

A molecule has sp2 hybridization with 1 lone pair.... The electron pair geometry of this molecule is: ... The geometry of this m

MrRa [10]

Answer:

The electron pair geometry is Trigonal planar

Molecular geometry - Bent

Approximate bond angle - <120°

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory enables us to predict the shapes of molecules based on the number of electron pairs present on the valence shell of the central atom and based on the hybridization state of the central atom.

sp2 hybridization corresponds to trigonal planar geometry. Let us recall that the presence of lone pairs causes a deviation of the molecular geometry from the expected geometry based on the number of electron pairs.

Hence, owing to one lone pair present, the observed molecular geometry is bent.
