The valence electrons are as follows for these groups of elements:
Halogen- SEVEN (halogens are group 7 elements that need one electron for the octet rule to be achieved)
Alkali Metals - ONE (these are group one elements that lose a single electron to form an octet and cation)
Alkaline Earth Metals - TWO (group two elements that lose two electrons to form 2+ cations)
The structure of
Alanine is shown below,
Except the carbon atom of carbonyl group which is
Sp² Hybridized, all remaining atoms are
Sp³ Hybridized. The hybridization of each element is depicted in a box below,
<span>We need to calculate the equivalent amount in units of moles of ammonium ions from the mass units. For this we need the molar mass of the substances involved. We calculate as follows:
31.3 g </span>(NH4)2CO3 ( 1 mol (NH4)2CO3 / 96.09 g (NH4)2CO3) ( 2 mol NH4 / 1 mol (NH4)2CO3 ) = 0.65 mol <span>ammonium ions</span>
