Answer:
2. 14
Explanation:
To form Br₂ bond, a total of 14 electrons are needed.
Bromine is an element in the 7th group on the periodic table. It has 7 valence electrons.
- In forming the bromine gas, the two atoms of bromine shares 7 electrons each.
- These electrons are from their outermost shell.
- The outermost shell is the valence shell.
- So, two atoms donating 7 electrons gives 14 electrons.
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution
molarity of solution to be prepared is 0.85 M
this means that there should be 0.85 mol of KBr in 1 L of solution
if 1 L contains - 0.85 mol
then 25.0 mL should contain - 0.85 mol / 1000 mL x 25.0 mL = 0.0213 mol
mass of KBr - 0.0213 mol x 119 g/mol = 2.53 g
mass of KBr that should be dissolved in 25.0 mL is 2.53 g
Ionization Trend: First ionization energy will increase left to right across a period and increase bottom to top of a family (column).
A) Sr, Be, Mg are all in column 2 of the periodic table. Based on the first ionization rule above, from increasing to decreasing energy, the order is: Be, Mg, Sr
B) Bi, Cs, Ba are all in the same row of the periodic table. Based on the first ionization rule above, from increasing to decreasing energy, the order is: Bi, Ba, Cs
C) Same rule as above. Order is: Na, Al, S
