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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ghella [55]2 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 is the mass of 3.25 mol of h2so4
Setler [38]

Answer/ explanation :

The find the mass,

We use this formula

Number of mole = mass/ molar mass

Since number of mole = 3.25mol

Number of mass be x

Molar mass of H2SO4

H - 1.00784 * 2= 2.01568

S - 32.065

O - 15.999 * 4 = 63.996

Note there are 2 moles of H and 4 moles of O and 1 mole of S

Molar mass of H2SO4 = 2.01568 + 32.065 + 63.996

= 98.07668g/mol

Number of mole= 3.25mol

3.25 = x / 98.07668

x = 3.25 * 98.07668

= 318.749g

Therefore, the number of mass is 318.749g
