How do you determine valence electrons of a metal? A non Metal?

Chemistry

Harlamova29_29 [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Check the electronic configuration of elements.

Explanation:

▪Valence electrons are the elwctrons present in the outermost shell of any element.

For example,

Electronic Configuration of Sodium = 2,8,1

Here , Sodium has 1 valence electrons.

▪Valency of an element is the total no. of electrons to be gained/losed in order to achieve duplet/octate state.

For example,

Electronic configuration of Sodium = 2,8,1

Sodium can achieve octate state either by losing 1 electron or gaining 7 electrons. But losing 1 electron is eay than gaining 7 electrons. So Valency of Sodium = +1

☆Metals have 1 or 2 or 3 valence electrons.

☆Non metals have 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 valence electrons.

☆Noble gases tend to stay in duplet/octate state i.e they have 2 or 8 valence electrons.

PLS HELPPP<br> why is CH3OH more polar than CH3CH2OH
dusya [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Polarity is about differencens in electronegativity. CH bonds have around the same electronegativity value so a CH bond is nonpolar. The more CH bonds there are in a molecule, the more nonpolar it is. Since CH3CH2OH has more carbon-hydrogen bonds than CH3OH, it is more nonpolar. With the same reasoning, since CH3OH has less CH bonds, it's more polar.

Needed help plzzz on this chemistry homework.
mrs_skeptik [129]
Hertz is units for frequency. (waves per second)
wavelength = speed/frequency

if you're given the speed use that to calculate, if not then you can probably assume it's a wave of light and use the speed of light (3x10^8 m/s) to calculate.

wavelength = (3x10^8)/(1.28x10^17)
= 0.000000002 m
= 2.34 nm
