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.

Which would be the best way to represent the concentration of a 1. 75 M K2CrO4 solution? 1. 75% K2CrO4 [K2CrO4] (K2CrO4) K2CrO4,
tekilochka [14]

The amount of the solute present in the given solution is called the concentration. The best way to represent the concentration of the solution is \rm [K_{2}CrO_{4}].

<h3>What is molar concentration?</h3>

Molar concentration is the molarity of the solution that is the measure of the concentration of the solute dissolved in the solution.

The formula for calculating molar concentration is given as,

\rm Molarity = \dfrac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{Solution in L}}

The concentration of any substance is represented in the square bracket like \rm [X] or  \rm [K_{2}CrO_{4}].

Therefore, option B. \rm [K_{2}CrO_{4}] is the representation of the concentration.

How does liquid turn into gas? (Question for my sister)
kodGreya [7K]
If you were to take water (like many other materials) and break it up into almost the smallest things you could, you’d get molecules. If the molecules are stuck together really tightly in a regular pattern, then they’re called a solid. The solid form of water is ice. This actually makes a lot of sense, because it certainly does seem like all the little parts of a solid (like ice) are stuck together very tightly.

When you heat something up, it makes the molecules move faster. If you heat up a typical solid, it melts and becomes a liquid. In a liquid (like water), the molecules are still stuck together, but they can move around some. What actually happens is that the molecules are still sort of sticking together, but they’re constantly breaking apart and sticking to different molecules. This also makes sense when you think about water. Water sort of sticks together, but it breaks apart /really/ easily.

If you heat a liquid like water up even more (like if you put it in a pot on the stove), then the molecules will move around so fast that they can’t even hold on to each other at all. When this happens, all of the molecules go flying apart and become a gas (like when you boil water to make steam). The process of gas molecules leaving the liquid to go into the gas is called "evaporation." The opposite process is called "condensation."
