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.

Calculate the number of molecules in 0.75 moles of CH₄. x 10²³ molecules
spin [16.1K]

<u>Ans :</u>4.5 * 10²³ molecules

<u>Given:</u>

Moles of CH4 = 0.75

<u>To determine;</u>

The number of molecules of CH4 in 0.75 moles

<u>Explanation:</u>

1 mole of CH4 contains Avogadro's number i.e. 6.023*10²³ molecules

Therefore, 0.75 moles would correspond to :

= 0.75 moles * 6.023*10²³ molecules/1 mole

= 4.5 * 10²³ molecules

How do you prepare 1 liter of a 0.5 molar glucose solution?
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Answer: 90 grams

0.5 molar of glucose means 0.5mole glucose for 1 liter of water. Since we want to made 1L of solution, then the amount of glucose needed is: 0.5mole/l x 1l= = 0.5mole

Glucose molecular weight is 180, then 0,5 mol of glucose is= 0.5mole x 180 grams/mole= 90 grams.
