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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Harlamova29_29 [7]3 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.

1. An atom of an elephant has atomic mass of 39 and has number of neutrons as 20 calculate protons number.
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

1) Let us recall that;

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

Where;

Number of protons = ?

Number of neutrons =20

Mass number =39

Number of protons = mass number - number of neutrons

Mass of protons =39 - 20= 19 protons

2) Atomic number = 13

Number of neutrons =14

Then the mass number =13 +14 =27

The symbol of the element is 27X13

The number of protons= the number of electrons =13

The atomic number is the same as the proton number =13

Why is concentrated sodium hydroxide preferred than water
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Sodium hydroxide is a highly caustic base and alkali that decomposes proteins at ordinary ambient temperatures and may cause severe chemical burns. It is highly soluble in water, and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. It forms a series of hydrates NaOH·nH

2O.[11] The monohydrate NaOH·H

2O crystallizes from water solutions between 12.3 and 61.8 °C. The commercially available "sodium hydroxide" is often this monohydrate, and published data may refer to it instead of the anhydrous compound.

As one of the simplest hydroxides, sodium hydroxide is frequently utilized alongside neutral water and acidic hydrochloric acid to demonstrate the pH scale to chemistry students.[12]

Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries: in the manufacture of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, soaps and detergents, and as a drain cleaner. Worldwide production in 2004 was approximately 60 million tons, while demand was 51 million tons.[13]
