Answer:

When two atoms move towards each other a reaction occurs. In this case this element would share their electrons and have the full 8 valence electrons. This would create a covalent bond, where they share their valence electrons and their outer shells would overlap.

Explanation:

This answer is based off of my teachers rubric but the grading criteria differs from teacher to teacher. Hope this helps.

Good Luck!!

Answer:

When the two atoms move towards each other a compound is formed by sharing electron pairs supplied by each of the atoms to enable them have the stable 8 (octet) valency electrons in their outermost shell

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of the given element can be written as follows;

1s²2s²2p⁴

The given electronic configuration is equivalent to that of oxygen, therefore, we have;

The number of electrons in the valence shell = 2 + 4 = 6 electrons

Therefore, each atom requires 2 electrons to complete its 8 (octet) electrons in the outermost shell

When the two atoms move towards each other, they react and combine to form a compound by sharing 4 electrons, 2 from each atom, such that each atom can have an extra 2 electrons in its outermost orbit in the newly formed compound and the stable octet configuration is attained by each of the atoms in the newly formed compound.

Quinine, an antimalarial drug, is 8.63% nitrogen. There are two nitrogen atoms per molecule. What is the molecular weight of qui
Furkat [3]

Answer:

324.18 g/mol

Explanation:

Let the molecular mass of the antimalarial drug, Quinine is x g/mol

According to question,

Nitrogen present in the drug is 8.63% of x

So, mass of nitrogen = \frac {8.63}{100}\times x

Also, according to the question,

2 atoms are present in 1 molecule of the drug.

Mass of nitrogen = 14.01 amu = 14.01 g/mol (grams for 1 mole)

So, mass of nitrogen = 14.01×2 = 28.02

These 2 must be equal so,

\frac {8.63}{100}\times x=28.02

solving for x, we get:

<u>x = 324.18 g/mol</u>

A toy car is placed at 0 on a number line. It moves 9 cm to the left, then 4 cm to the right, and then 6 cm to the left. What is
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

19

Explanation:

The total distance traveled by the toy cay would be 19 cm.

The total distance traveled should not be mistaken for total displacement. While displacement measures the distance and direction from the starting position of the toy car relative to its final position, the total distance traveled is calculated by adding all the movements of the toy car together. Hence;

Total distance traveled = 9 + 4 + 6 = 19 cm

Find the age t of a sample, if the total mass of carbon in the sample is mc, the activity of the sample is a, the current ratio
Paha777 [63]
N₀ is the number of C-14 atoms per kg of carbon in the original sample at time = Os when its carbon was of the same kind as that present in the atmosphere today. After time ts, due to radioactive decay, the number of C-14 atoms per kg of carbon is the same sample which has decreased to N. λ is the radioactive decay constant.
Therefore N = N₀e-λt which is the radioactive decay equation,
N₀/N = eλt In (N₀.N= λt. This is the equation 1
The mass of carbon which is present in the sample os mc kg. So the sample has a radioactivity of A/mc decay is/kg. r is the mass of C-14 in original sample at t= 0 per total mass of carbon in a sample which is equal to [(total number of C-14 atoms in the sample at t m=m 0) × ma]/ total mass of carbon in the sample.
Now that the total number of C-14 atoms in the sample at t= 0/ total mass of carbon in sample = N₀ then r = N₀×ma
So N₀ = r/ma. this equation 2.
 The activity of the radioactive substance is directly proportional to the number of atoms present at the time.
Activity = A number of decays/ sec = dN/dt = λ(number of atoms of C-14 present at time t) = 
λ₁(N×mc). By rearranging we get N = A/(λmc) this is equation 3.
By plugging in equation 2 and 3 and solve t to get
t = 1/λ In (rλmc/m₀A).

A molecule of antifreeze, ethylene glycol, has the formula c2h4(oh)2. how many atoms are there in one molecule of antifreeze?
kifflom [539]
Answer is: there are ten atoms in one molecule of antifreeze.
One molecule of ethylene glycol (C₂H₄(OH)₂) has two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms (4 + 2 · 1) and two oxygen atoms (2 · 1). So there are:
2 + 6 + 2 = 10 atoms.
Ethylene glycol (C₂H₄(OH)₂) is an odorless, sweet-tasting, colorless viscous liquid.
