An element x has a relative atomic mass of 88. When a current of 0.5A was passed through the fused chloride of x for 32min and 10seconds. 0.44g of x was deposited at the electrode (i)calculate the number of faraday needed to liberated 1 mole of x
(ii)write the formular for the x ions
(iii)write the formular for the x hydroxide of x

atomic number of carbon is 6

electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p²

orbital diagram of carbon is as shown here in the image.

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
