Oxygen (O), Sulphur (S) and Selenium (Se) have similar chemical properties because they all have the same number of electrons in their outermost shells.

Atoms with the same number of electrons in their outermost shells can be found in the same group.

A group consists of elements arranged in the same column (from top to bottom) on the periodic table. Elements on the same group have similar chemical properties.

Oxygen (O), Sulphur (S) and Selenium (Se) are in group eight. All three elements are highly electronegative and have 6 electrons in their outermost shell. They also carry ab charge of -2.

A combustion reaction involves an organic compound reacted with oxygen. The general chemical equation is as follows:
<span>
Organic Compound + Oxygen = CO2 + H2O

</span><span>To calculate the amount of C present in the original sample, we use the values given and assume that there is complete combustion that is happening.
</span><span>
7.33 g CO2 ( 1 mol CO2 / 44.01 g CO2)(1 mol C / 1 mol CO2) = 0.167 mol C

Therefore, 0.167 mol of C was originally in the sample.</span>

Is matter and mass always the same
Anna11 [10]
Matter is a slightly archaic word for something with mass, as in the conservation of matter (which must be paired with the conservation of energy to still hold true. Mass can be converted back and forth between energy, so therefore so can matter. Of course relativistic mass is conserved as it's a function of the energy of an object in that reference frame.
