Describe two ways that nonmetals can combine with other elements?
Nonmetals become stable by gaining or sharing enough valence electrons to have a set of eight valence electrons in a shell or energy level
How many electrons are in a neutral atom with 12 protons?
Atoms that are neutrally charged will have the same number of protons as electrons, because one proton will cancel out one electron. To achieve a net charge of 0, 12 protons must be countered with 12 electrons.
How is carbon dioxide formed?
====================================== My explaination will be Carbon,the non-metal element that contains of 6electrons,2.4 .....the positive charge 4 valenced electrons will share its electron with 2 oxygen atoms that consists of 4 valenced electrons too,in order to achieve stable octet electron arrangement,thus CO2 is formed
How can tell whether or not an element will react with other elements?
On the periodic table, there are periods that are rows, and groups that are columns. Elements in the same group react like the other elements in the group.
What happens to the electron as it moves closer to the nucleus?
An electron moving towards the nucleus slows down and any energy it contains from a higher shelf is released.
Does nitrogen form ionic or covalent bonds with hydrogen?
Nitrogen forms covalent bonds with hydrogen. In covalent bonding, atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another to form ions with opposite charges.
How many electrons does nitrogen gain in order to achieve a noble gad electron configuration?
nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. It should gain 3 electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration.
What bonds does calcium and chlorine have in common with hydrogen and nitrogen?
Both calcium and chlorine can form ionic bonds with each other due to calcium's tendency to lose electrons and chlorine's tendency to gain electrons, similar to hydrogen and nitrogen which can form covalent bonds by sharing electrons. In both cases, the bonds formed involve the sharing or transfer of electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
How many hydrogen atoms will nitrogen bond with to form a stable molecule?
Nitrogen typically forms stable molecules by bonding with three hydrogen atoms to create ammonia (NH3). This is because nitrogen has five valence electrons and requires three additional electrons to achieve a full outer shell, while hydrogen has one valence electron. By sharing electrons through covalent bonds, nitrogen can achieve a stable configuration with a total of eight electrons in its outer shell.
How covalent bond formed in nh4?
In NH4, the covalent bond is formed between the nitrogen atom and four hydrogen atoms through the sharing of electrons. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and needs 3 more electrons to achieve a full octet. Each hydrogen atom provides one electron, allowing nitrogen to complete its octet. This sharing of electrons creates a stable NH4 molecule.
How many electrons can nitrogen lose or gain?
Nitrogen can gain 3 electrons to achieve a full outer shell with 8 electrons, or lose 5 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to the noble gas neon.
What two atoms follow the duet rule in filling up their valence shells of electrons?
Hydrogen and helium follow the duet rule, which means they strive to have a full valence shell with two electrons. Hydrogen can achieve this by gaining one electron, while helium already has a full valence shell with two electrons.
Why is ammonia a covalent compound?
Ammonia is a covalent compound because it consists of nonmetals (nitrogen and hydrogen) that share electrons to form covalent bonds. In a covalent bond, the atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
How many electrons does nitrogen gain in order to achieve in order a noble gas electron configuration?
Nitrogen has to gain three electrons
Why is oxidation number 3 for nitrogen?
Because nitrogen forms a compound with hydrogen called anhydrous ammonia consisting of one nitrogen atom and three hydrogen atoms. Since hydrogen has an oxidation number of one, nitrogen must have an oxidation number of three to make a "neutral" molecule.
What charge would nitrogen have if it gained 3 electrons?
Nitrogen would have a neutral charge and eight valence electrons.
How many electrons must be gained by N to achieve sec?
Nitrogen must gain three electrons.
