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.

The empirical formula of styrene is CH; its molar mass is 104.1 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of styrene
frez [133]
  • The atomic mass of carbon is 12.011 g/mol.
  • The atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.00794 g/mol.

This means the molar mass of CH is

12.011+1.00794=13.01894 \text{ g/mol}

Dividing the given molar mass by this,\frac{104.1}{13.01894} \approx 8

This means the molecular formula is \boxed{\text{C}_{8}\text{H}_{8}}

If two protons and two neutrons are added to the nucleus of a carbon atom, what nucleus does it become?
Shkiper50 [21]
If two protons are added to carbon, the chemical identity changes to oxygen, which is two spaces over horizontally on the periodic table. The number of protons is what we call the atomic number (Z), and this is what defines the identity of an element. Since we also added two neutrons, this is simply oxygen, or oxygen-16, the most abundant isotope of oxygen.
