The valence of an element is the number of covalent bonds its atoms form or the charge on the ion it forms in ionic compounds. For the following questions, use the position of an element in the periodic table to deduce its valence. (1) What is the valence of strontium? (2) What is the valence of arsenic? (3) What is the valence of hydrogen?

We've spent quite a bit of time thinking about the interactions between atoms or molecules, one of which is called London dispersion forces. The stable interactions between two atoms we briefly discussed, in this case a covalent bond. We will explore more about this type of interaction in a minute. But let's say for now that it takes 348 kJ/mol to break 1 mole of C-C bonds (that is, 6.022 * 1023 C-C bonds). What would be the minimum frequency of a photon that could break a single (1) C-C bond? What region of the EM spectrum would this light be in? Enter your answer here
As seen in the table, compounds containing an integer ratio of elements depend on how many cations combine with how many anions to form a stable compound. For example, in table 1, to form a NaCl compound, first Na ionizes from the Na+ cation which is having +1 positive charge, which will lose 1 electron, it is having +1 charge, this electron then goes to Cl and it will change to Cl- anion by gaining the electron, so here 1:1 ratio charge which means 1 Na+ combines with 1 Cl-1 to form NaCl. So here integer ratio is 1:1 for this sodium chloride compound. As listed in table 2, Mg(OH)2, the integer ratio is 1:2 which means, Mg is a neutral atom that loses 2 electrons and forms an Mg+2 cation, which combines with OH which gains 1 electron to form OH- anion, So here Mg2+ can combine with 2 OH- anion, so they both combine to form Mg(OH)2 which has integer ratio as 1:2 . Thus, atom forms as ions by losing or gaining electrons and combines together in whole number ratio to form stable…
