1. 8 (oct means that eight, good way to remember this!)
2. hydrogen has ONE valence electron!

hope this helps :)

Answer:

The octet rule means that atoms need a total of 8 valence electrons to fill their valence shell. Hydrogen only needs two to fill its valence shell.

Explanation:

All atoms except for hydrogen can hold a total of 8 valence electrons in their outer energy levels (2 in the s level, 6 in the p level). Hydrogen only has two electrons total, so it does not require more than the s level and two electrons to have a full valence.

A rectangular block of copper metal weighs 1896 g. The dimensions of the block are 8.4 cm by 5.5 cm by 4.6 cm. From this data, w
Fed [463]

Answer:

Density = 8.92 g/cm³

Explanation:

Density shows the relation of the mass and volume of a determined object. We have this deffinition:

Density = mass / volume

First of all, we calcualte the volume of the block of copper metal, with the data given:

8.4 cm . 5.5 cm . 4.6 cm = 212.52 cm³

Now we replace at the density formula:

Density = 1896 g /212.52 cm³  = 8.92 g/cm³

Balance the following skeleton reaction and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents: Include the states of all reactants and
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

4Zn_(_s_)~+~7OH^-~_(_a_q_)~+~NO_3^-_(_a_q_)~+~6H_2O_(_l_)~-->4Zn(OH)_4^-^2_(_a_q_)~+~NH_3_(_g_)

-) Oxidizing agent: NO_3^-_(_a_q_)

-) Reducing agent: Zn_(_s_)

Explanation:

The first step is separate the reaction into the <u>semireactions</u>:

A.Zn~->Zn(OH)_4^-^2

B.NO_3^-~->~NH_3

If we want to balance in <u>basic medium </u>we have to follow the rules:

1. We adjust the oxygen with OH^-

2. We adjust the H with H_2O

3. We adjust the charge with e^-

Lets balance the first semireaction A. :

Zn~+~4OH^-~->Zn(OH)_4^-^2~+~2e^-

Now, lets balance semireaction B:

NO_3^-~+~8e^-~+~6H_2O~->~NH_3~+~9OH^-

Finally, we have to add the two semireactions:

_________________________________________

8~(Zn~+~4OH^-~->Zn(OH)_4^-^2~+~2e^-)

2~(NO_3^-~+~8e^-~+~6H_2O~->~NH_3~+~9OH^-)

_________________________________________

(8Zn~+~32OH^-~->8Zn(OH)_4^-^2~+~16e^-)

(2NO_3^-~+~16e^-~+~12H_2O~->~2NH_3~+~18OH^-)

Cancel out the species on both sides:

8Zn~+~14OH^-~+~2NO_3^-~+~12H_2O~-->8Zn(OH)_4^-^2~+~2NH_3

Simplifying the equation :

4Zn~+~7OH^-~+~NO_3^-~+~6H_2O~-->4Zn(OH)_4^-^2~+~NH_3

The Zn_(_s_) is <u>oxidized</u> therefefore is the <u>reducing agent</u>. The NO_3^-_(_a_q_)is<u> reduced</u> therefore is the <u>oxidizing agent</u>.

Identifying characteristics of atoms
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The three main atomic particles are protons, neutrons and electrons. The atomic number of an atom identifies the number of protons in the atom. This is the defining characteristic of an element. An atom can gain or lose neutrons or electrons while retaining its elemental identity.
