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.

What is the pressure of 4 moles of helium in a 50 L tank at 308k using PV=nRT
Ilya [14]

Hey there!:

p = ??

n = 4 moles

V = 50 L

T = 308 K

R =  0.082 atm

p*V = n * R * T

p * 50 = 4 * 0.082 * 308

p*50 = 101.024

p = 101.024 / 50

p = 2.020 atm


Hope that helps!

Is snails growing shell conserve mass
postnew [5]

The thing that two changes have in common that snails growing shells and  rust forming on a bicycle frame is option D. Both are caused by cooling.

<h3>How come snails develop shells?</h3>

Calcium carbonate is said to be the material that makes up the shell. The snail's shell expands as it grows to accommodate its growing body. Snails and slugs are also members of the mollusc family of creatures.

Therefore, note that  air that has been mixed with the metal can make rust to develop. and as such, option D. Both are caused by cooling. is correct.

Only the _____ word in an organism's complete scientific name has its first letter capitalized
dimaraw [331]
Only the first word in an organism's complete scientific name has its first letter capitalized.

When writing out the organism's scientific name, it goes Genus and then species. The Genus is always capitalized and species is always lowercase. Also when writing the name, usually you either write it in italics or underline the scientific name.
