Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The formation of bonds needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
An atom consists of nucleus which has protons, neutrons and electrons. The electrons revolve around the nucleus in energy levels. The electrons revolving round or electron cloud determines the various properties of the element. The electrons which are on the outermost shell or the valence shells are those which are involved in all reactivity.
Answer to Problem 47A
Explanation of Solution
Many atoms do not have eight electrons in its outermost shell. There may be less than 8 electrons indicating that there is deficiency of 1 or 2 electrons. If atoms gain electrons it becomes positively charged ions and if it gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged ions. This is done to attain a stable octet configuration. The forces of attraction between a cation and anion results in the formation of bonds between the elements.
Moreover, some elements share their electrons with other elements so as to attain a stable octet configuration. Such sharing results in bonding between the atoms of the elements.
Chemical bonds are formed when ions formed by atoms losing or gaining electrons. Bonds are also formed when atoms share their electrons with other elements to get octet configuration.

The mineral is first oxidized in air to molybdenum trioxide and sulfur dioxide. Molybdenum trioxide is then reduced to metallic molybdenum using hydrogen gas and yielding water as the other product. Calculate the volumes of air and He at 17°C and 1.00 atm that are necessary to produce 1.00 x 103 kg of pure Mo from MoSz. Assume that air contains 21% oxygen by volume and also assume that both the oxidation and reduction reactions are quantitative.arrow_forwardDraw the major substitution product formed for this reactionarrow_forward

Steamed milk is made by passing superheated steam into a stainless steel container containing the milk. Assume that the steam is at 125°C, Lyap = 540 calories/gram, and the specific heat of steam is 0.500 calories/gram/degree C. Also assume that the milk is at 5°C and that 750 ml of milk represent the Venti size. The stainless steel container can be considered to have a mass of 400. grams and a specific heat capacity of 0.600 J/gram/K. If the density of milk is 1.00 grams/ml and its specific heat is 4.184 J/gram/K, how many grams of steam does it take to raise the milk's temperature to a comfortable 55°C? 1 Calorie = 4.184 Joules.arrow_forward
