Answer:

Most atoms do not have eight electrons in their valence electron shell. Some atoms have only a few electrons in their outer shell, while some atoms lack only one or two electrons to have an octet. In cases where an atom has three or fewer valence electrons, the atom may lose those valence electrons quite easily until what remains is a lower shell that contains an octet. Atoms that lose electrons acquire a positive charge as a result because they are left with fewer negatively charged electrons to balance the positive charges of the protons in the nucleus. Positively charged ions are called cations. Most metals become cations when they make ionic

Rolls of foil are 300mm wide and 2.020mm thick. (The density of foil is 2.7 g/cm^3). What maximum length of foil can be made fro

horrorfan [7]

Answer: 8556 mm, or 855.6 cm (8560 mm to 3 sig figs)

Explanation: Convert mm to cm by dividing by 10 (1cm/10mm)

Find the area of the foil face in cm^2 (30cm*0.2020cm) = 0.606 cm^2

Calculate the volume occupied by 1.40 kg of foil in cm^3. 1.40kg = 1400g

1.400g/(2.7 g/cm^3) = 518.5 cm^3 for 1.40 kg Au

Volume = Area (of the face) * Length

We want Length:

Length = Volume/Area

L = (518.5 cm^3/0.606 cm^2)

L = 855.6 cm (8556 mm) Round to 3 sig figs (856 cm and 8560 mm)

naturally occurring bromine molecules, br2 have masses of 158, 160, and 162. they occur in the relative abundances 25.69%, 49.99

4vir4ik [10]

The average atomic mass of an element can be determined by multiplying the individual masses of the isotopes with their respective relative abundances, and adding them.

Average atomic mass of Br = 158 amu(0.2569) + 160 amu(0.4999) + 162 amu(0.2431)
Average atomic mass = 159.96 amu

As described in the problem, the relative abundance for Br-79 is 25.69%. This is because 2 atoms of Br is equal to 79*2 = 158 amu. Similarly, the relative abundance of Br-81 is 81*2 = 162, which is 24.31%.
