What are valence electrons and why are they so important in chemistry
valence electrons are the electrons exist farthest from an Atoms nucleus they are the electrons with the highest energy level
they determine the chemical behavior of the atom
The chemistry of life is based on carbon. This means that all of the molecules which govern life-giving chemistry have carbon Adams in their principal component chemist have often speculated that there could be a life form with the chemistry based on silicon. Why
It has four Valence electrons it is in the same calm as carbon so they have similar chemistry
What are the noble gases and why are they important in chemistry
The noble gases are the elements in group 8A they are important because they have the ideal electron configuration
What is the octet rule give it to exceptions to this rule
All atoms strive to attain eight valence electrons
The exceptions are hydrogen helium lithium boron and beryllium
What is the fundamental difference between metals and nonmetals
Metals give up electrons where is nonmetals take electrons
Predict the statement: the number on the top of the column on the periodic table is the number of valence electrons that all electrons have
This only applies to the columns labeled with a
What is the difference between an Atom and an ion
Adams have equal number of electrons and protons with no overall charge
And I am protons and electrons are not equal and it has a charge because of the inbalance
What is I ionized energy
The Amount of energy needed to take an election away from an Adam
Name three periodic properties of Adams
- ionization energy
- Electronegative
- Atomic radius increases
Describe how the periodic properties mentioned inconsistent and very as you move up in a column and to the right along a row of the periodic table
ionization energy and electronegative increases as you go up into the right on the periodic table
Atomic radius increases as you go down into the left
What is the fundamental difference between ionic compounds and covalent compounds
I am a compound give-and-take elections and are made from ions
Covalent compounds share electrons
What is wrong with formula: MG2O2
It should be written in the lowest possible ratio
What gases are involved in a three layered protection system in Earth again this high energy light that comes from the sun
Oxygen nitrogen and O-Zone
List the Homonuclear diatomics
N2, O2, Cl2, F2, BR2, I2, At2, H2
