Nonmetals rarely lose electrons in chemical reactions because?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ziro4ka [17]1 year ago
4 0
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.

The first ionization energy, e, of a potassium atom is 0.696 aj. what is the wavelength of light, in nm, that is just sufficient
elena55 [62]
The formula to be used for this problem is as follows:

E = hc/λ, where h is the Planck's constant, c is the speed of light and λ is the wavelength. Also 1 aJ = 10⁻¹⁸ J

0.696×10⁻¹⁸ = (6.62607004×10⁻³⁴ m²·kg/s)(3×10⁸ m/s)/λ
Solving for λ,
λ = 2.656×10⁻⁷ m or <em>0.022656 nm</em>

If a 60-g object has a volume of 30 cm3, what is its density? 2 g/cm3 0.5 cm3/g 1800 g * cm3 none of the above
jasenka [17]

Answer : The density of an object is, 2g/cm^3

Solution : Given,

Mass of an object = 60 g

Volume of an object = 30cm^3

Formula used :

\text{Density of an object}=\frac{\text{Mass of an object}}{\text{Volume of an object}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the density of an object.

\text{Density of an object}=\frac{60g}{30cm^3}=2g/cm^3

Therefore, the density of an object is, 2g/cm^3

Tasya [4]
Answer is: <span>Mutations sometimes improve the chances of survival for a plant.
</span>Mutations are very important because they change <span>variability in populations and in that way enable evolutionary change.
</span>There are three types of mutations:
1) good or advantageous mutations - <span> improve the chances of survival for a plant.
2) </span>bad or deleterious - decrease the chances of survival for a plant.
3) neutral -  not affect he chances of survival for a plant.
