Answer: The correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.
Explanation:
Hello! Let's solve this!
We will analyze each of the options:
A. The group number of the element provides a clue to the number of valence electrons: it is correct, since it provides the number of valence electrons.
B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable: this is not correct, since elements with eight electrons in the valence shell cannot react because they already have the last complete shell. Therefore, they are chemically stable.
C. The points must be placed one at a time on each side of the chemical symbol: it is correct, because that is the way to make the point diagram.
D. An atom is chemically stable if all the points are paired: this is correct since this verifies that the point diagram has been done well.
We conclude that the correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.
Hope this helps..... Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! :D
Answer:
Earth's atmosphere is divided into five main layers: the exosphere, the thermosphere, the mesosphere, the stratosphere and the troposphere.

Answer:
The concentration the student should write down in her lab is 2.2 mol/L
Explanation:
Atomic mass of the elements are:
Na: 22.989 u
S: 32.065 u
O: 15.999 u
Molar mass of sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3 = (2*22.989 + 2*32.065 + 3*15.999) g/mol = 158.105 g/mol.
Mass of Na2S2O3 taken = (19.440 - 2.2) g = 17.240 g.
For mole(s) of Na2S2O3 = (mass taken)/(molar mass)
= (17.240 g)/(158.105 g/mol) = 0.1090 mole.
Volume of the solution = 50.29 mL = (50.29 mL)*(1 L)/(1000 mL)
= 0.05029 L.
To find the molar concentration of the sodium thiosulfate solution prepared we use the formula:
= (moles of sodium thiosulfate)/(volume of solution in L)
= (0.1090 mole)/(0.05029 L)
= 2.1674 mol/L
D.) closeness of a measurement to an accepted value
That is accuracy not precision.
