This is a question i have on my homework todayCan someone walk me through it? also is anyone willing to email or chat with me to help me with chemistry homework?Compare and contrast how the electrons are organized in K (potassium), Al (aluminum), C (carbon), Cl (chlorine) and Ne (neon)Then explain how that electron structure leads these atoms to form or not form bonds with other atomsNote you are asked to compare and contrastThat means noting both similar and different featuresElectron notations will play an important part in your answerYou have to answer this question thoroughly and show me that you really understand how the electrons are organized in these atoms and how that effects how they bond.
To destarch the leaf before running an experiment on photosynthesis to show absence of light results in no starch - ieno photosynthesis.
You seem to be confusedCompare and contrast is a silly request made by English teachers, not chemistry teachersUnless she used to be an English teacher, in which case you are in a lot of troubleK has one valence electron and usually forms highly polar covalent bonds (high percent ionic character)[Ar] 4s1K can form one bond with one other elementThe K+ ion can exist in aqueous solutionAl has three valence electrons and usually forms covalent bonds that are much less polar than potassium[Ne] 3s2 3p1Aluminum usually forms three bondsThe Al3+ ion can exist in aqueous solutionC has four valence electrons and forms covalent bonds with itself as well as H, N, O and the halogensAn entire branch of chemistry is devoted to the compounds of carbon (organic chemistry)1s2, 2s2 2p2Carbon can form up to four bonds, as well as double and triple bondsCarbon doesn't form ions in aqueous solution, except in connection with other elements, i.eHCO3-Cl has 7 valence electrons and can form a number of covalent bonds as well as the chloride ion (Cl-) ion aqueous solution [Ne]3s2 3p5Chlorine can form up to 7 covalent bonds (as with ClF7)Ne is an inert gas and has a filled 2nd energy levelNe does not form any bonds.
