Answer:
A.) 1
Explanation:
Propane only exists in one conformation. It does not have enough carbons to form branches, and there are only hydrogens attached to each carbon. Furthermore, there is no way to twist the carbon or change its orientation (ex. cis- and trans-) to result in a different structure of propane. There is no other way to represent the molecule without drawing a different molecule.
Answer:
3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Explanation
This is a redox reaction.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet or duplet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
- [Ne]= (1s²) (2s² 2p⁶)
A combination of both the reactions( Half-reactions) leads to a redox reaction.
Let us look at initial configurations of Al and Cl
[Al]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹
[Cl]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
Hence, Al can lose 3 electrons to achieve octet config.
and, Cl can gain 1e to achieve nearest noble gas config. [Ar]
This reaction can be rewritten, by clearly mentioning the oxidation states of all the entities involved.
Al⁰ + Cl⁰ → (Al⁺³)(Cl⁻)₃
Here, Aluminum is undergoing an oxidation(i.e loss of electrons) from: 0→(+3)
Chlorine undergoes a reduction half reaction (i.e gain of electrons) from: 0→(-1). There are 3 such chlorine atoms, hence 3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Answer:
1. No 1 looks like a statement and not a question.
2.Ionic compounds are usually formed from the transfer of electrons from metals to Non metals. All others are Ionic compounds except HCl(Its a covalent compound).
3. The Formula would be K2S. Exchange of Radicals takes place. Sulphur has a -2 charge and potassium has a +1 charge. when they both exchange radicals... The compound is K2S.
4.Group 1 elements have only 1 electron in their outermost shell.
5. its charge will be +1 because it loses the 1 electron in its outermost shell.
6.Group 2 elements have 2electrons in their Valence shell.
7.Already answered. same as No 5.
8. Group 16;Also known as group 6. They have only 6 electrons in their outermost shell.
9.When they want to become stable... they acquire 2electrons to complete their octet... so they possess a -2 charge by forming an ion.
10. i)They form ions when Dissolve in solutions
ii) They are hard and brittle
iii) They have high boiling points
