Answer: The correct option would be A.

Explanation: The main group elements which make more bonds than that was predicted from the octet rule are supposed to have expanded octet.

These elements tend to have more than 8 valence electrons after bonding and this can be achieved when we have empty d-orbitals.

When we have empty p-orbitals, total number of valence electrons than can be occupied will be 8.

Electronic configuration when valence shell's empty p-orbitals are fully filled = ns^2np^6

which means that a total of 8 electrons can be occupied which does not satisfy expanded octet rule.

Example of molecule showing expanded octet rule is given in the image. Here, after bonding Phosphorous has 10 electrons which is occupied in empty d-orbitals.

ra1l [238]

Answer : The incorrect option is, The most of the mass of the atom comes from the electron cloud.

Explanation :

There are three basic particles of an atom which are neutrons, protons and electrons.

The nucleus which is present in the center of an atom that contains the neutrons and the protons. The protons are positively charged and neutrons has no charge.

The outer region of an atom contains the electrons and the electrons are negatively charged.

As per given options, the statement which is the most of the mass of the atom comes from the electron cloud is incorrect statement because the most of the mass comes from the nucleus in which protons and neutrons are present.

How do you analyze chemical evidence?
Sever21 [200]
BIOLOGICAL & CHEMICAL EVIDENCE ANALYSIS
There are many different types of evidence that can be found at a crime scene. Physical evidence can be collected at the crime scene such as a murder weapon. Chemical evidence is any residue from liquids that such as poison and drugs. Biological evidence is when hair or skin from a persons body has been transferred to a physical surface and then be collected and tested.

This evidence can be used to find out what exactly happened at the scene of the crime, the history behind the crime and who was involved and could have committed it.

Our experts test and analyse many forms of evidence, which is vital when finding out the various incidences that happened at a crime scene.
