Sulfuric acid valence electrons

F-Block Element the lanthanides and actinides, valence electrons in the f orbitals Feedstock a process chemical used to produce other chemicals or products Fine Chemicals chemicals produced in relatively low volumes and at higher prices as compared to bulk chemicals such as sulfuric acid, includes flavorings, perfumes, pharmaceuticals, and dyes First Law of Thermodynamics law that states energy in universe is constant, energy cannot be created or destroyed First Order Reaction reaction in which the rate is dependent on the concentration of reactant to the first power... 

Only cerium has a higher state that is stable in solution, Ce4 corresponding lo the removal of all four valence electrons. The +4 state is a powerful oxidant, with a reduction potential to the + 3 state that is very dependent upon the acid in which it is dissolved (e.g. in sulfuric acid the reduction potential is +1.44 V, in nitric(V) acid +1.61 V, and in chloric(VTT) acid + 1.70 V, indicating some ion pair formation in the first two examples). Praseodymium and terbium have +4 oxides, but these dissolve in acidic solution to give the corresponding + 3 states and dioxygen. 

The most utilized Umpolung strategy is based on formyl and acyl anion equivalents derived from 2-lithio-l,3-dithiane species. These are readily generated from 1,3-dithianes (thioacetals) because the hydrogens at C(2) are relatively acidic (p f 31). In this connection it should be noted that thiols (EtSH, pi 11) are stronger acids compared to alcohols (EtOH, 16). Also, the lower ionization potential and the greater polarizability of the valence electrons of sulfur compared to oxygen make the divalent sulfur compounds more nucleophilic in Sj,2 reactions. The polarizability factor may also be responsible for the stabilization of carbanions a to sulfur. ... 

Orbital notation provides a convenient way to visualize the loss or gain of valence electrons. When zinc metal reacts with sulfuric acid, the zinc forms a Zn + ion with a pseudo-noble gas configuration.

Section 1.9 The octet rule can be exceeded for second-row elements. Resonance contributors in which sulfur contains 10 or 12 electrons in its valence shell are permissible, as are phosphorus compounds with 10 electrons. Familiar examples include sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid.
