conductor of heat and electricity. Since copper is a very good conductor of electricity‚ a lot of electrical wires are made out of copper. This helps easily transfer electricity. Electrons move candidly in copper because they are ready to bond with another atom to form an stable octet. An octet is eight valence electrons in the outer energy level. Having eight in the outer energy level will make the ion stable. Copper has a germicidal effect meaning that many germs are neutralized by it. This is why

Step 2 in drawing a Lewis structure involves determining the total number of valence electrons in the atoms in the molecule. Explain why the total number of valence electrons in N2H4 is 14. 3. Step 3 in drawing a Lewis structure requires finding the number of bonding pairs. What must be done to the result of step 2 to find the number of bonding pairs? Verify that this is

01.23.13 NAS102 CODE13873 VSEPR Theory VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory proposes that the geometric arrangement of terminal atoms‚ or groups of atoms about a central atom in a covalent compound‚ or charged ion‚ is determined solely by the repulsions between electron pairs present in the valence shell of the central atom. The number of electron pairs around the central atom can be determined by writing the Lewis structure for the molecule

A toothpick between two atoms represents a single bond‚ two toothpicks between two atoms represent a double bond‚ and three toothpicks between two atoms represent a triple bond. Remember that the lone pairs on the central atom take up space and play a role in determining the shape of the molecule. Represent each lone pair (nonbonded pairs of valence electrons) on the central atom with a nonbonded toothpick. The bonds and lone

gases are not reactive has to do with the outermost electron shells. Halogens are reactive because they only have seven electrons in their outermost shell and can gain another by reacting with atoms of other elements. A few examples of halogens are: fluorine‚ chlorine‚ bromine‚ iodine‚ and astatine. On the other hand alkali metals are extremely reactive because instead of gaining another electron like the halogens‚ alkali metals lose one or two electrons. Some examples of alkali metals are: lithium‚ sodium

Introduction: There are 3 types of metals for electricity conducting: metallic conductor‚ semiconductor‚ and superconductor. Metallic conductors allow the free flow of ions and electrons through a sample; and its conductivity decreases as the temperature increases. Semiconductors allow the flow of both ions and electrons through the sample but not completely free; and its conductivity increases with increasing temperature. Superconductors are a class of metallic conductor whose resistance drops
