SEP Use Models Why does the number of electrons in each principal energy shell increase as the number of the shell increases?

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The number of electrons in each principal energy shell increases as the number of shells increases because more electronic orbitals become available to accommodate the electrons.

For instance, the n= 2 level only accommodates eight electrons in the s and p orbitals whereas the n=3 level accommodates 18 electrons in s, p and d orbitals respectively.

Each principal level accommodates 2n^2 electrons where n= the principal energy shell.

What type of chemical bond would form between an atom of lithium (Li) and an atom of chlorine (Cl). Explain specifically why thi

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Explanation:

When a bond is formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another then it results in the formation of an ionic bond.

An ionic bond is generally formed by a metal and a non-metal.

For example, lithium is an alkali metal with atomic number 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1.

And, chlorine is a non-metal with atomic number 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.

So, in order to complete their octet lithium needs to lose an electron and chlorine needs to gain an electron.

Hence, both of then on chemically combining together results in the formation of an ionic compound that is, lithium chloride (LiCl).

An ionic compound is formed by LiCl because lithium has donated its valence electron to the chlorine atom.

On the other hand, if a bond is formed by sharing of electrons between the two chemically combining atoms then it is known as a covalent bond.

For example, $O_{2}$ is a covalent compound as electrons are being shared by each oxygen atom.

A stock solution has a concentration of 1.5 M NaCl and is diluted to a 0.80 M solution with a volume of 0.10 L. What volume of t

ioda

Answer:

0.053 L is the volume of concentrated solution that was used

Explanation:

Let's determine the answer of this, by rules of three.

There is also a dilution formula.

Molarity is a sort of concentration that indicates the moles of solute in 1L of solution.

In 1 L of concentrated solution, there are 1.5 moles of NaCl

In 1 L of diluted solution, there are 0.80 moles.

The volume for the diluted solution is 0.10L

The rule of three will be:

1L of solution has 0.80 moles of solute

Then, 0.10L of solution must have (0.1 . 0.8)/1 = 0.08 moles

This moles came from the concentrated solution, and we know that in 1L of this solution we have 1.5 moles. Therefore the rule of three will be:

1.5 moles are in 1L of solution

0.08 moles were in (0.08 . 1L / 1.5) = 0.053 L (This is the volume of concentrated solution that was used)

Dilution formula is: M conc . Vol conc = M diluted . Vol diluted

1.5 M . Vol conc = 0.80 M . 0.10L

Vol conc = 0.80 M . 0.10L / 1.5M = 0.053L

Softa [21]

Frequency is defined as the number of waves per second. In this machine 25 waves pass in one second.
We need to calculate the number of waves that pass a particular point during one second.
During 2 seconds -25 waves
Therefore in one second - 25/2 = 12.5 waves/s.
1 wave per second has the unit Hertz (Hz)
Therefore answer is 12.5 Hz
