Silicon is a semi-conductor of electricity. explain​

Chemistry
1 answer:
sertanlavr [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A silicon atom has 14 electrons around the nucleus, and of these, there are 4 valence electrons on the outermost orbital. When this is made into a single crystal, it can be used as a material for semiconductor products. When it crystalizes, the nuclei share electrons and they bond with 8 electrons around each nucleus.

Since phosphoric acid is H3PO4, which is known from PO4, with a charge of 3- so 3 hydrogen would balance it out, and sodium hydroxide is NaOH, it can be assumed that it results in H3(OH)3 + Na3PO4.

Why a neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons
Alex777 [14]

Explanation:

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. ... Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.

What is the name of this molecule?<br><br> H3C - C ≡ C - CH3<br><br> Answer: 1,2,3, or 4-butyne?
Semenov [28]

Explanation:

The given molecule is

H3C - C ≡ C - CH3

The numbering order is shown below:

H3C - C ≡ C - CH3

    1     2     3     4

So, the alkyne group is in the second position.

The carbon chain has four carbons.

Hence, the IUPAC name of the given compound is:

2-butyne.

What is the boiling point of a solution of 76 g of water dissolved in 500 mL of acetic acid, CH3COOH?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

127.3° C, (This is not a choice)

Explanation:

This is about the colligative property of boiling point.

ΔT = Kb . m . i

Where:

ΔT = T° boling of solution - T° boiling of pure solvent

Kb = Boiling constant

m = molal (mol/kg)

i = Van't Hoff factor (number of particles dissolved in solution)

Water is not a ionic compound, but we assume that i = 2

H₂O →  H⁺  +  OH⁻

T° boling of solution - 118.1°C =  0.52°C . m . 2

Mass of solvent =  Solvent volume / Solvent density

Mass of solvent = 500 mL / 1.049g/mL → 476.6 g

Mol of water are mass / molar mass

76 g / 18g/m = 4.22 moles

These moles are in 476.6 g

Mol / kg = molal → 4.22 m / 0.4766 kg = 8.85 m

T° boling of solution =  0.52°C . 8.85 m . 2 + 118.1°C =  127.3°C
