In terms of valence electrons, explain why metals form positive ions.

Chemistry
1 answer:
diamong [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Metal elements form positively charged ions called cations because they are located on the left side of the periodic table These elements all have valence electrons in an s orbital. These electrons are relatively easy for the atom to lose to achieve a stable octet of electrons in its outermost energy shell.

What are diatomic gases
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Diatomic molecules are molecules composed of only two atoms, of the same or different chemical elements. The prefix di- is of Greek origin, meaning "two". If a diatomic molecule consists of two atoms of the same element, such as hydrogen (H2) or oxygen (O2), then it is said to be homonuclear.

A chemical reaction can theoretically produce 1375.5 grams of product , but in actuality 112.9 grams are product . Which is the
zalisa [80]

Answer:

8.20 % → Percent yield reaction

Explanation:

To find the percent yield of reaction we apply this:

(Produced yield / Theoretical yield) . 100 = %

Produced yield = 112.9 g

Theoretical yield = 1375.5 g

We replace → (112.9g / 1375.5 g) . 100

8.20 % → Percent yield reaction

zysi [14]

Answer:Percent error= 90.9%

Explanation:

Percent error or percentage error is defined as the  percentage of the  difference between a measured value usually from an experiment and an exact  value in comparison to the exact number.

its formula is thus

Percent error = experimental value - exact or actual value /exact value x 100

=(18.9 - 9.9 /9.9 ) x 100= 9/9.9) x 100

0.909 x 100 = 90.90 = 90.9%

Which is an acceptable Lewis structure for a diatomic nitrogen molecule?
Marina86 [1]
Answer:
            Acceptable Lewis structure of Diatomic Nitrogen Molecule is as follow,

                                                      :N≡N:

Explanation:
                     
The given lewis structure is acceptable because each nitrogen atom has a complete octet and and the formal charge of each nitrogen atom is zero. So those lewis structures which has zero or least formal charges are said to be more stable and acceptable. The formal charge is calculated is,

Formal Charge  =  # of Valence e⁻s - [# of non-bonded e⁻ + 1/2 # of bonded                                           e⁻]

For N,

Formal Charge  =  5 - [ 2 + 6/2]

Formal Charge  =  5 - [ 2 + 3 ]

Formal Charge  =  5 - 5

Formal Charge  =  0

Same result will come for the second N atom.
