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

Chemistry

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.

The frequency of an x-ray wave is 3.0 x 1012MHz. Its wave speed is 3.0x 108m/s. Calculate the wavelength of the x-ray wave below
jasenka [17]

Answer: The wavelength of the x-ray wave is 10^{-10}m

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use the equation:

\lambda=\frac{c}{\nu}

where,

\lambda = wavelength of the light  = ?

c = speed of x-ray= 3.0\times 10^8m/s

\nu = frequency of x-ray = 3.0\times 10^{12}MHz=3.0\times 10^{18}Hz= 3.0\times 10^{18}s^{-1}     (1Hz=1s^{-1})

Putting in the values:

\lambda=\frac{3.0\times 10^8m/s}{3.0\times 10^{18}s^{-1}}=10^{-10}m

Thus the wavelength of the x-ray wave is 10^{-10}m

Why is the Atlantic Ocean growing larger, but the Pacific Ocean is growing smaller?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

A.The Atlantic Ocean has more mid-ocean ridges than the Pacific Ocean so that keeps it growing larger.

Explanation:

Atlantic ocean is getting bigger because of the presence of spreading centers (divergent plate boundary). ... Pacific Ocean is getting smaller because the pacific plate is subducting along the subduction zones. Subduction zones are areas where old, dense plate subducts beneath a less dense plate.

Gases are measured in different units. Which of the following measurements of pressure are equal? Select all that apply.
viva [34]

Explanation:

Pressure of a gas is the combined force with which the molecules bombard a unit area of the wall of the container.

    1 atm  = 760mmHg

               = 760torr

               = 101325Pa

               = 101325Nm⁻²

 1mmHg  = 1torr

        1Pa = 1Nm⁻²

101.325 kPa  and 101,325 Pa are the same

           1000Pa = 1kPa

101,325 Pa  and 1 atm

1atm and 101.325 kPa
