VB theory does not indicate that the diatomic molecule He₂ is a viable species.

Helium has atomic number 2, it has 2 protons and 2 electrons.

Electron configuration of helium atom: ₂He 1s².

Helim (He) is a noble gas.

Noble gases (group 18) are in group 18: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). They have very low chemical reactivity.

Noble gases have very stable electron configuration and does not need to gain electrons, only when they gain energy.

Valence bond (VB) theory explains chemical bonding.

Helium atom is stable and does not form molecule.

25cm3 of gas at 1 atm has a temperature of 20 degree celsis .

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

1.28 atm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to use the gas laws, more specifically the Combined Gas Law. It is P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2. Simply plug your values in. But be careful! Make sure you convert your 20 degree C and 28 deg C to Kelvin, as that it the only temperature scale the Gas Laws work with. Upon plugging in your values, you get approximately 1.28 atm.
