Nonmetals rarely lose electrons in chemical reactions because?

The reason for this is because nonmetals, have close to fulfilling an octet and need to gain few more electrons to do this, not to lose more. Nonmetals, because of the fact they need only few more electrons to satisfy their octet they would receive or share electrons to do this.

The property that nonmetals have are that they are very electronegative, they possess a strong affinity to pull electron density closer, because they possess fewer electron shells and possess even protons this allows for this.

Arsenic produces a blue flame when heated. Calcium produces an orange-red flame. Which of these best explains why this differenc
MrMuchimi

Flame colors are produced from the movement of the electrons in the metal ions present in the compounds. When you heat it, the electrons gain energy and can jump into any of the empty orbitals at higher levels Each of these jumps involves a specific amount of energy being released as light energy, and each corresponds to a particular color. As a result of all these jumps, a spectrum of colored lines will be produced. The color you see will be a combination of all these individual colors.

Phosphorus has the molecular formula p4, and sulfur has the molecular formula s8. how many grams of phosphorus contain the same
Alinara [238K]
1) Find the number of molecules in 7.88 g of sulfur

molar mass of S8 = 8*atomic mass of S = 8 * 32.0 g / mol = 256.0 g/mol

Number of moles  = mass in grams / atomic mass = 7.88 g / 256.0 g / mol = 0.0308 moles

2) Find the mass of 0.0308 moles of P4

mass = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass of P4 = 4 * atomic mass of P = 4 * 31 g/mol = 124 g/mol

mass of P4 = 0.0308 moles * 124 g/mol = 3.8192g ≈ 3.82 g.

Answer: 3.82 grams of P4 will have the same number of molecules as 7.88 g of S8 (that is 0.0308 moles of molecules)

In a group assignment, students are required to fill 10 beakers with 0.720 M CaCl2. If the molar mass of CaCl2 is 110.98 g/mol a
8_murik_8 [283]
The answer is 200 g.

If the molar mass of CaCl2 is 110.98 g/mol, this means there are 110.98 g in 1 L of 1 M solution.
Let's find how many g of CaCl2 are present in 0.720 M.
110.98 g : 1 M = x : 0.720 M
x = 110.98 g * 0.720 M : 1 M 
x = 79.90 g

So there are 79.90 g in 0.720 M. In other words, in 1 L of 0.720 M solution there will be  79.90 g.

Now, we need to prepare ten beakers with 250 mL of solutions:
10 * 250 mL = 2500 mL = 2.5 L

79.90 g : 1 L = x : 2.5 L
x = 79.90 g * 2.5 L : 1 L
x = 199.75 g ≈ 200 g
