How do you use electron configurations to predict formulas of ionic compounds?

∙ 13y ago
They show how many bonds an atom can create, and whether it gains or loses electrons. (Atoms with 5-7 valence electrons tend to gain electrons, atoms with 1-3 valence electrons tend to lose electrons, atoms with 4 valence electrons can do either, and atoms with 8 valence electrons don't naturally bond)

∙ 12y agothe coordination number of an ion is the number of ions of opposite charge that surround the ion in a crystal

How can you predict the magnitude of the dispersion force for closely related elements or compounds?
The magnitude of the desperation force for an element is determined by the size of the electron cloud. The larger the electron cloud the greater the magnitude. Another factor is shape the more surface area a molecule has the larger the magnitude of the desperation force.
Can you predict the location of an element based on its configuration?
Yes, it is possible - the electron configuration is a specific characteristic.
Are electrons equal to newtrons?
No, number of electron is not equal to the number of neutron ,as we can predict it from the difference of their masses only,
How do storm chasers use math?
Mathematical formulas are used to study and predict weather. Storm chasers need to use these formulas in order to know where the best places are for storms.
How do you predict which bond will formed when elements combine?
Electronegativity can help, but experience and factual knowledge of each case is needed for most compounds.

Predict formulas for stable binary ionic compounds based on balance of charges?
i am doing this in 9th grade physics right now. i have a test tomorrow too. but i cannot answer this. i guess i need to get studying, BYEE
What chemicals would you predict to have the greatest solubility in cyclohexane?
Small, NONpolar compounds

What VSEPR formulas would predict a trigonal bipyramidal shape?
A^6
VSEPR formulas would predict a trigonal planar shape?
AX3
Why can we not accurately predict where in the electron cloud electrons can be found?
We cannot accurately predict where in the electron cloud electrons can be found because of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This principle states that it is impossible to simultaneously know the exact position and momentum of an electron. As a result, we can only describe the probability distribution or the likelihood of finding an electron in a particular region of the electron cloud.

What can we predict from an elements location on the periodic table?
You can predict it's physical state, atomic size, atomic weight, electron effinity, charge, and other physical characteristics.
