More unstable an electron configuration , the more reactive an atom will become.

How electron configuration influences the chemical behavior of an atom?

This is happen generally, If we look at the Group 1 elements in the periodic table, they are all highly reactive as they have 1 electron in their outermost shells - an unstable configuration in terms of energy.

Also, the noble gases in Group 8 in the periodic table are 'inert' that means they don't react (or more correctly, have an incredibly low reactivity). This is because they have 8 electrons in their outermost shell and thus have no need to acquire or lose electrons to possess a stable electron configuration.

Hence, electron configuration influences the chemical behavior of an atom.

A pile of Mgo dust is known to contain 2.082 mol. How many molecules are there?

nlexa [21]

Every one mol of MgO is 6.022 x 10^23 molecules (Avogado’s Number) So, you multiply 2.082 mol of MgO with 6.022 x 10^23 molecules. Hope this helps!

There are two different compounds of sulfur and fluorine. In SF6, the mass of fluorine per gram of sulfur is 3.55 g F/g S. In th

irinina [24]

For the answer to the question above, 1.18 x 3 = 3.55.
First, you need to find the ratio of F to F in each compound. It is the law of multiple proportions stating that the masses of one element which combine with a fixed mass of the second element are in a ratio of whole numbers. In this case, F would be the "one element" and S would be the "fixed mass", the ratio of F6 to Fx = 3:1 
therefore x would be 2 since there is less F in SFx and the ratio is 3:1. divide 6 by 3 and you get 2.
