Carbonic acid dissolves limestone and other rocks. This is an example of _____. chemical errosion
Jet001 [13]

Carbonic acid dissolves limestone and other rocks. This is an example of chemical erosion. An example is in the caves. Caves are formed where rainwater as it falls through the atmosphere absorbs carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide makes the rain acidic to react it with the limestone bedrock. The rainwater is absorbed by the soil into the ground. Then as it enters through the soil, the rainwater will absorb more carbon dioxide that is produced by the decomposers. The carbon dioxide with water reacts to form carbonic acid. The carbonic acid will react to limestone and dissolves it slowly. As the space become larger, water can enter into it.

If you knew the number of valence electrons in a nonmetal atom how would you determine the valence of the element. (Ignore hydro
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity

Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago

Explanation:

All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.

Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)

For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1

Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.

Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.

For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.
