Answer:
The electron configuration for this atom is Calcium, which has 2 valence electrons.
Explanation:
Following the periodic table and with the electron configuration, you will end up with calcium, which has 2 valence electrons. (Always follow the electron configuration from left to right! It begins at hydrogen, then to helium... and so on.)
1s2 -> He....
2s2 -> Be....
2p6 -> Ne...
3s2 -> Mg...
3p6 -> Ar...
4s2 -> Ca.
Answer:
d
Explanation:
because boron and fluorine are both nonmetals and don't fit the guidlelines for creating ionic compounds
Answer:
The charged carbon atom of a carbocation has a complete octet of valence shell electrons
Explanation:
A charged carbon atom of a carbocation has a valence shell that is not filled, <u>that's why it acts as an electrophile (or a Lewis base)</u>. This unfilled valence shell is also the reason of the nucleophilic attack that takes place during the second step of a SN1 reaction.
Explanation:
In any chemical change, one or more initial substances change into a different substance or substances. ... According to the law of conservation of matter, matter is neither created nor destroyed, so we must have the same number and kind of atoms after the chemical change as were present before the chemical change
Example:
The carbon atom in coal becomes carbon dioxide when it is burned. The carbon atom changes from a solid structure to a gas but its mass does not change.
Answer:
Xenon is less reactive.
Explanation:
Xenon is a noble gas with 8 valence electrons whereas bromine is a halogen with 7 and is very reactive.
