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.
Answer:
substitution is the best method or collecting like terms
Explanation:
Answer:
its shorter than a regular one
Explanation:
the only reason is simply because it is shorter
The pressure at the bottom : 19600 N/m²
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
A ground water tank has its height 2m
Required
The pressure at its bottom
Solution
Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure caused by the weight of a liquid.
The weight of a liquid is affected by the force of gravity.
The hydrostatic pressure of a liquid can be formulated:
Ph = hydrostatic pressure (N / m², Pa)
ρ = density of liquid (kg / m³)
g = acceleration due to gravity (m / s²)
h = height / depth of liquid surface (m)
ρ = density of water (kg / m³) = 1000
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/ sec²
The pressure
