It's 1 because there is only one electron on the outer shell.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As it is known that both sodium and potassium are same group elements. Both of then belongs to group 1A.

Since, sodium is at 11th position in the periodic table and its atomic number is also 11. Therefore, electronic distribution of sodium is 2, 8, 1.

Similarly, potassium is placed at 19th position in the periodic table and its atomic number is 19. So, electronic distribution of potassium is 2, 8, 8, 1.

It is known that valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.

So, in a potassium atom there is only one valence electron is present.

Thus, we can conclude that potassium have 1 valence electron.

According to the following balanced equation, 2 formula units of Iron (III) Oxide (Fe2O3) can be formed by reacting 4 atoms of i
-Dominant- [34]
You have to use Avogadro's number (6.02x10^23 molecules/mole) to find the number of moles each reactant starts off with.
moles of Fe and O₂:
12 atoms/(6.02x10^23 atoms/mole)=1.99x10^-23 mol Fe
6 molecules/(6.02x10^23 molecules/mole)=9.967x10^-24 mol <span>O₂
</span>Then you find the limiting reagent by finding how much product each given amount of reactant can make.  Which ever one produces the least amount of product is the limiting reagent.
amount of Fe₂O₃ produced:
<span>(1.99x10^-23 mol Fe)x(2mol/4mol)= 9.967x10^-24mol Fe</span>₂O₃<span> 
</span>(9.967x10^-24 mol O₂)x(2mol/3mol)= 6.645x10^-24 mol Fe₂O₃<span> 
</span>since oxygen produces the leas amount of product, oxygen is the limiting reagent.  since we know that oxygen is the limiting reagent we can use the amount of product formed with oxygen to find the amount of iron used.
6.645x10^-24 mol Fe₂O₃x(4mol/2mol)=1.329x10^-23 mol Fe consumed
<span> find the amount left over by subtracting the original amount of Fe by the amount consumed in the reaction.
</span>1.993x10^-23-1.329x10^-23= 6.645x10^-23mol Fe left
 find the number of atoms by multiplying that by Avogadro's number.
<span>(6.645x10^-23mol)x(6.02x10^23 atoms/mol)=4 atoms
</span>therefore 4 atoms of Fe will be left over after the reaction happens.

I hope this helps.

Which of the following properties would be the same among isotopes of the same element?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer : The properties which would be the same among isotopes of the same element are Flammability and Color

Explanation :

Isotopes are the elements that have same number of electrons and protons but they differ in number of neutrons.

The chemical properties of an element are determined by its valence electrons and since isotope have same number of electrons, they have similar chemical properties.

But isotopes have different number of neutrons. Neutrons are the subatomic particles which are present in the nucleus. They are charge less particles and they have mass. Therefore when the elements have different number of neutrons, their atomic masses differ.

As a result, isotopes have different mass related physical properties.

Let us discuss the given properties now

1) Flammability : Flammability in simple words means the ability of the substance to catch fire or the ability to burn. This is mainly dependent on the reactivity which is in turn dependent on the number of electrons.

Since the isotopes have same number of electrons, they show similar flammability.

2) Density : Density is defined as mass per unit volume. This property involves mass and we know that isotopes have different masses. Therefore they have different densities too.

3) Melting point : Melting point is a physical property which is mainly dependent on the molecular weight of the substance. Since isotopes have different masses, they tend to show different melting points.

4) Color : The color of the element is mainly dependent on the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus. Isotopes have same number of electrons which means the arrangement would also be the same. Therefore the isotopes of the same element do not show different colors.

The properties which would be same among isotopes of the same element are

1) Flammability

4) Color

Which of the following has a melting point greater than room temperature?
nikdorinn [45]
Technically, the answer is iron. Oxygen has a melting point way below zero (-219 degrees celsius), ice becomes water AT room temperature and bromine is already a liquid at room temperature. So, iron has a melting point greater than room temperature due to the fact that metals are made up of giant structures of atoms in a regular arrangement, and there are strong forces of electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and negative electrons, meaning that a lot of heat energy is required to break the bonds, i.e. a very high melting point, approx. 1500 degrees celsius. Hope this helps.
