Answer:
See detailed answer with explanation below.
Explanation:
Valence electrons are electrons found on the outermost shell of an atom. They are the electrons in an atom that participate in chemical combination. Recall that the outermost shell of an atom is also referred to as its valence shell. Let us consider an example; if we look at the atom, sodium-11, its electronic configuration is 2,8,1. The last one electron is the valence electron of sodium which is found in its outermost or valence shell.
Positive ions are formed when electrons are lost from the valence shell of an atom. For instance, if the outermost electron in sodium is lost, we now form the sodium ion Na^+ which is a positive ion. Positive ions possess less number of electrons compared to their corresponding atoms.
Negative ions are formed when one or more electrons is added to the valence shell of an atom. A negative ion possesses more electrons than its corresponding atom. For example, chlorine(Cl) contains 17 electrons but the chloride ion (Cl^-) contains 18 electrons.
In molecular compounds, a bond is formed when two electrons are shared between the bonding atoms. Each bonding atom may contribute one of the shared electrons (ordinary covalent bond) or one of the bonding atoms may provide the both shared electrons (coordinate covalent bond). The shared pair may be located at an equidistant position to the nucleus of both atoms. Similarly, the electron may be drawn closer to the nucleus of one atom than the other (polar covalent bond) depending on the electro negativity of the two bonding atoms.
The electrons are shared in order to complete the octet of each atom by so doing, the both bonding atoms now obey the octet rule. For example, two chlorine atoms may come together to form a covalent bond in which each chlorine atom has an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.
Answer:
0.558mole of SO₃
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Molar mass of SO₃ = 80.0632g/mol
Mass of S = 17.9g
Molar mass of S = 32.065g/mol
Number of moles of O₂ = 0.157mole
Molar mass of O₂ = 31.9988g/mol
Unknown:
Maximum amount of SO₃
Solution
We need to write the proper reaction equation.
2S + 3O₂ → 2SO₃
We should bear in mind that the extent of this reaction relies on the reactant that is in short supply i.e limiting reagent. Here the limiting reagent is the Sulfur, S. The oxygen gas would be in excess since it is readily availbale.
So we simply compare the molar relationship between sulfur and product formed to solve the problem:
First, find the number of moles of Sulfur, S:
Number of moles of S = 
Number of moles of S = 
= 0.558mole
Now to find the maximum amount of SO₃ formed, compare the moles of reactant to the product:
2 mole of Sulfur produced 2 mole of SO₃
Therefore; 0.558mole of sulfur will produce 0.558mole of SO₃
Answer:
Hope it helped
Explanation:
For neutral atoms, the number of valence electrons is equal to the atom's main group number. The main group number for an element can be found from its column on the periodic table. For example, carbon is in group 4 and has 4 valence electrons. Oxygen is in group 6 and has 6 valence electrons.
Explanation:
Gay-Lussac's law states that the pressure of a given mass of gas varies directly with the absolute temperature of the gas when the volume is kept constant. Mathematically, it can be written as: {\displaystyle {\frac {P}{T}}=k}. It is a special case of the ideal gas law.
