Answer:
atoms tend to react in order to gain 8 valence electrons
Explanation:
The octet rule describes the tendency of atoms of elements to react in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell. This is because having eight valence electrons confers stability to the atoms of these elements in the compounds they form.
The octet rule only does not apply to the transition elements or the inner transition elements as only the s and p electrons are involved. the electronic configuration in atoms having an octet is s²p⁶.
For example, sodium atom has one valence electron in its valence shell but a complete octet in the inner shell; it will react with chlorine atom which has seven valence electrons to form a stable compound, sodium chloride by donating its one valence electron in order to have an octet. Similarly, the chlorine atom will then have an octet by accepting the one electron from sodium atom.
<u>Answer:</u> 6.57 L of solution can be made.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:
.....(1)
Given values:
Molarity of LiBr = 3.5 M
Moles of LiBr = 23 moles
Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Hence, 6.57 L of solution can be made.
Answer:
21.2 moles.
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, for the given chemical reaction, we can see there is a 1:4 mole ratio between tetraphosphorous decaoxide and phosphorous; therefore, the following proportional factor provides the requested moles of phodphorous:
