What is the octet rule?

Chemistry
2 answers:
solong [7]3 years ago
7 0

The octet rule says that atoms need to have full valence shells to become stable.

  • Most atoms need eight electrons to fill their valence shells.
  • Hydrogen and helium atoms need only two electrons to fill their valence shells.
  • Atoms that don't have full valence shells form chemical bonds with other atoms to fill their valence shells and satisfy the octet rule.
  • Chemical bonds are forces that hold atoms together.
  • A force is a push or pull on an object.

Hope this helps you!

Have a great day! :)

The Octet rule is a general rule of thumb that applies to most atoms. Basically, it states that every atom wants to have eight valence electrons in its outermost electron shell.

- La siguiente tabla, expone cómo desciende la temperatura (T) del aire con la altitud(h): Temperatura (ºC) 15 13,5 12 10,5 9 Al
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

k = -0.006.

T₀ = 15 °C

Explanation:

Hola.

En este caso, considerando la gráfica mostrada en el archivo adjunto, podemos evidenciar que los datos dados se comportan de manera lineal, por lo que basado en la ecuación, T=k*h+To, podemos calcular la pendiente que basicamente es igual a k, tomando dos puntos en la gráfica:

k=\frac{12-13.5}{750-500}=-0.0006

Además, el valor de la temperatura inicial se puede extraer de la tabla, dado que esta es cuando la altura es 0 m, es decir 15 °C.

¡Saludos!

Please Which one??? is it???
Tatiana [17]
The 1st one. Fertilizers are like food for plants, and that's what an algae is, sorta. Trout's don't eat algae and if there's too much algae around, it gets dirty and they eventually die because of the amount of bacteria in the algae. It's the same thing if you have a fish tank.

Answer:

B.

the passage of genetic instructions from one generation to the next generation.

These are called genes. One mate reporduces with another made and the genetic buildup merges 50 % and 50% with genetics(if it's meiosis), or DNA codes from the parents to the offspring that then possess some of the genes. That shows heridity.
