Answer:
1
Explanation:
For non metals to attain a noble gas configuration, they gain the number of electrons needed to attain the noble gas configuration of the noble gas at the end of their periods. This means that these non metals would only take up the configuration of the last element on their periods which of course is always a noble gas.
The last element on the hydrogen period or more conservatively the only other element on the hydrogen period is helium, with an atomic number of 2. The atomic number is the number of protons in he nucleus of an atom. For an electrically neutral atom, the number of electrons equal the number of protons.
Hence we can deduce that helium has 2 electrons while hydrogen has one electron. Thus for it to attain the configuration of helium, it just needs to gain one more electron
Answer:
The molecular formula of the compound is C₂H₄F₂ or CH₃CHF₂
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Empirical formula of the compound = CH₂F
Fórmula mass of compound = 66 g/mol
Molecular formula of the compound =?
The molecular formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:
Molecular formula = [Empirical formula]ₙ
Molecular formula = [CH₂F]ₙ
[CH₂F]ₙ = 66
[12 + (2×1) + 19] n = 66
[12 + 2+ 19]n = 66
33n = 66
Divide both side by 33
n = 66/33
n = 2
Molecular formula = [CH₂F]ₙ
Molecular formula = [CH₂F]₂
Molecular formula = C₂H₄F₂
Thus, the molecular formula of the compound is C₂H₄F₂ or CH₃CHF₂
Answer:
Order zero
Explanation:
Let's consider the decomposition of ammonia to nitrogen and hydrogen on a tungsten filament at 800°C.
2 NH₃(g) → N₂(g) + 3 H₂(g)
The generic rate law is:
rate = k × [NH₃]ⁿ
where,
rate: reaction rate
k: rate constant
n: reaction order
When n = 0, we get:
rate = k × [NH₃]⁰ = k
As we can see, when the reaction order with respect to ammonia is zero, the reaction rate is independent of the concentration of ammonia.
