Step by step solution:
Its given;
Moles of neon at STP is 15 mol
We are required to calculate the volume;
According to molar gas volume, 1 mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters at STP.
That is, 1 mole of a gas = 2.4 L
Therefore;
1 mole of Neon gas = 22.4 L
Volume = Moles of the gas × molar gas volume
= 15 mol × 22.4 L/mol
= 336 L
Each orbit surrounding an atom is allowed A LIMITED NUMBER OF ELECTRONS.
The number of orbit that an atom has is determined by its atomic number, the higher the atomic number the higher the number of orbit in the atom and each orbit has different energy level. Each orbit can only take fixed number of electron. The first shell can only take two electrons while the subsequent shells can only take eight electrons. When an orbit has taken the highest number of electron possible, the remaining electrons are moved to the next shell.
