Given bh3, o3, co2, and nh3, which of these compound is an exception to the octet rules?.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ghella [55]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a. BH₃

Explanation:

According to the octet rules, atoms reach stability when are surrounded by eight electrons in their valence shell when they combine to form a chemical compound.

From the options, the only compound in which the central atom does not meet the octet rules is BH₃. The central atom is boron (B), which has 3 electrons in its valence shell. When B is combined with hydrogen (H), 3 electrons from the 3 atoms of H are added. The total amount of electrons is 6, fewer than 8 electrons needed to meet the rule.

hope this helps

What properties of matter explain why the weight of an object on the moon is different than the weight of the same object on ear
algol13

Answer:

Gravity explains this.

Explanation:

Weights and mass are different terms .

Weight is defined as the force exerting on the surface due to the mass and gravity of acceleration.

W=m*g

Here mass is related to the density of the body. So as the density would be same mass woulnt vary.

Whereas the Gravity changes due to the property of the planet.

Gravity is different for different planets and hence moon and earth have two different values.

So the mass i.e density remains same on both planets but the g value always changes hence weight is different.

Which of the elements must be available in water for the metamorphosis of tadpoles?
Grace [21]
The element iodine (I) is important for the fast and hastened metamorphosis of frog-tadpoles. As amphibians, the tadpoles can live in water and land but when they are born they are iodine-deficient. Tadpoles that do not receive ample amount of iodine become tadpoles until the end of their days.

Water has a higher boiling point than acetone does. Which of the following statements about water and acetone in the liquid stat
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Water's boiling point is higher than acetone's one due to the stronger intermolecular forces it has in liquid phase.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since no options are given we can infer from the statement that due to water's higher boiling point than acetone we can conclude that when they are in liquid state, water has stronger intermolecular forces which allow its particles to be held in a stronger way in comparison to the acetone's molecules, for that reason, more energy will be required in order to separate them and promote the boiling process, which is attained via increasing the temperature. Besides, less energy will be required for the separation of the acetone's molecules in order to boil it when liquid, therefore, a lower temperature is required.

In such a way, we can sum up that water's boiling point is higher than acetone's one due to the stronger intermolecular forces it has in liquid phase.

Regards.
