Atomic number indicates which of the following

1 answer:

8 0

The atomic number of an element gives the element it's identity. This is also known as the number of protons within an element. If you have the number of protons but don't know the element's atomic mass, add the protons and neutrons to get the mass number.

An atom has the following electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4 . How many valence electrons does this Atom have

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

This atom is sulfur (if the electrons are equal to the protons/not an ion). You can tell the number of valence electrons by looking at the individual shell. The first shell (1s) can only hold 2 electrons. The second shell (2s and 2p) can hold 8 electrons. The third shell (3s and 3p), which is the valence shell, only has 6 out of its possible 8 electrons, so this atom has 6 valence electrons.

Which of the following statements does NOT describe the anomeric carbon? A. This carbon is attached to two oxygens. B. This carb

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The answer is E. All of the statements describe the anomeric carbon.

Explanation:

When a sugar switches from its open form to its ring form, the carbon from the carbonyl (aldehyde if it is an aldose, or a ketone in the case of a ketose) suffers a nucleophilic addition by one of the hydroxyls in the chain, preferably one that will form a 5 or 6 membered ring after the reaction.

As such, the anomeric carbon will have two oxygens attached (The original one and the one that bonded when the ring closed).

It will be chiral, given that it has 4 different groups attached. (-OR,-OH,-H and -R, where R is the carbon chain).

The hydroxyl group can be in any position (Above of below the ring), depending on with side the addition took place. (See attachment)

It is the carbon of the carbonyl in the open-chain form of the sugar, because it is the only one that can react with the Hydroxyls.

To what characteristics of the group 1 metallic elements can the ease with which their sons form +1 monatomic ions be attributed

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Group 1 elements (usually called alkali metals) are not very electronegative and have small ionization energies due to that. The reason why they are not very electronegative is that they really want to loose their one valence electron so that they can have a noble gas electron configuration (completed octet).
