The number of protons defines what element it is and also determines the chemical behavior of the element.
The correct statement is " A single bond, because they overlap orbitals to share one pair of electrons." A fluorine atom is unstable with 7 electrons in its valence shell and so needs one more electron to achieve stability. This is according to the octet rule which states that an atom will gain or lose electrons until there are 8 electrons in its valence shell. So each fluorine donates an electron to form a single pair and the achieves a noble gas configuration.
Question 17
The subscript 2 is the atomic number for helium and subscript 4 is the mass number for Helium
<u><em>explanation</em></u>
when writing down an isotope of an element the mass number of that isotope is written in upper side of the chemical symbol, while atomic number is written on the lower side.
Since 4 is on upper side it is the mass number of He, while 2 is the atomic number since it is on lower side.
Question 18
The type of radiation emitted when polonium -212 form lead 208 is an alpha particle
<u><em>explanation</em></u>
Alpha decay is a decay in which an atomic nuclei emit an alpha particles and be transformed into different atomic nuclei with a mass number that is reduced by 4
polonium 212 is reduced by 4 to form lead 208 therefore it undergo alpha particle decay.
When it loses 2 electrons
Answer:
1.2 × 10² J
Explanation:
Given data
- Initial temperature: 295 K
The amount of heat (Q) that a substance absorbs depends on its specific heat capacity (c), which is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance per unit of mass. It can be calculated through the following expression. <em>(cFe = 0.444 J/g.K)</em>
