Neon gas consist of individual, unbonded neon atoms due to the stable (octet) configuration, while chlorine exists as diatomic chlorine molecules to gain stability.
<h3>How we define the stability of atoms?</h3>
Stability of any atom will be defined on the basis of the electronic configuration or the number of valence shell electrons they have.
- Chlorine atom have seven electrons on the outermost shell of the atom and will able to gain 1 electron to get octet configuration, that's why present in the diatomic form.
- Neon is a noble gas as they have stable configuration due to presence of 8 electrons in the valence shell, and due to stability it will not easily react with any other gas and present in single atomic form.
Hence due to stable configuration of neon it is present in the unbonded form.

Answer:
1.18 moles of CS₂ are produced by the reaction.
Explanation:
We present the reaction:
5C + 2SO₂ → CS₂ + 4CO
5 moles of carbon react to 2 moles of sulfur dioxide in order to produce 1 mol of carbon disulfide and 4 moles of carbon monoxide.
As we do not have data from the SO₂, we assume this as the excess reagent. We convert the mass of carbon to moles:
70.8 g / 12 g/mol = 5.9 moles
Ratio is 5:1, so 5 moles of carbon react to produce 1 mol of CS₂
Then, 5.9 moles will produce (5.9 . 1) / 5 = 1.18 moles
