Hello! Here's the answer I was able to come up with:

<em>Why does Na have only one dot?</em>

Sodium, or Na, has only one valence electron.  (This makes the atom tend to participate in ionic bonding and "give" its single valence electron to an atom like chlorine.)

<em>Why do none of these diagrams show more than 8 dots?</em>

It is physically impossible for an atom to have more than 8 electrons in its valence layer, according to the Octet Rule.

<em>What relationship do you notice between the dots in these two charts?</em>

The dot diagram for each element represents the number of electrons each element will have in its outermost, or valence, shell. (2-8-8)

<em>The number of dots that hydrogen and helium have in their dot diagram is the same as the number of electrons shown for them on the Periodic Table. Why?</em>

An atom can have a maximum of two electrons in its innermost layer. Hydrogen and helium have only one and two electrons, respectively, so they don't have enough electrons to actually have more than one layer. Therefore, their outermost layer is, in fact, their only layer. This is why the number of dots that hydrogen and helium have in their dot diagram is the same as the number of electrons shown for them on the Periodic Table.

Don't copy this word for word! You will most likely be in trouble for plagiarism.  Instead, rewrite these ideas in your own words, or paraphrase. Good luck, and I know you can do it! ♥

What is formed when water chemically combines with carbon dioxide
solong [7]

When water chemically combines with carbon dioxide, a Carbonic acid is formed.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Carbon dioxide responds with water in a solution to form a weak acid, carbonic acid. Carbonic acid disassociates into hydrogen particles and bicarbonate particles. The hydrogen particles and water respond with the most basic minerals modifying the minerals.  
  • Carbon dioxide and the other atmospheric gases disintegrate in surface waters. Dissolved gases are in equilibrium with the gas in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide responds with water in a solution to form the weak acid, carbonic acid. Carbonic acid disassociates into hydrogen particles and bicarbonate particles.  
  • The hydrogen particles and water respond with the most basic minerals altering the minerals. The results of enduring are prevalently clays and soluble particles, for example, calcium, iron, sodium, and potassium. Bicarbonate particles additionally remain in solution; a remnant of the carbonic acid that was utilized to weather the rocks.

Will calcium metal react with chromium (III) chloride? Explain your answer
iren [92.7K]

Calcium metal with chromium(III) chloride would react. Calcium metal is more reactive than chromium metal; therefore, putting calcium metal in chromium chloride would create a reaction, where as putting chromium metal in calcium chloride would not form any reaction.
