The statement is true. The octet rule refers to the general rule of thumb wherein atoms of main-group elements tend to bond with other atoms in such a way that each atom possesses eight electrons (octet) in their valence shell. They tend to form the same electronic configuration as the noble gases. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. One of which is silane, SiH₄. A hydrogen atom only has 1 valence electron and needs another electron to complete its energy level. This is unlike other atoms, for example, carbon which has 4 valence electrons and needs to form 4 covalent bonds to fill its energy levels. Thus, 4 hydrogen atoms need only 4 more electrons. This is given by the silicon atom which has 4 valence electrons. Therefore, when a silicon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms, the resulting molecule, SiH₄, is a stable one.
Answer: D) Eight
Just pretend this part doesn't exist nope nothing to see here the answer is correct on edge2020 I swear on my brainly points
Moles of gas = 0.369
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
P = 2 atm
V = 5.3 L
T = 350 L
Required
moles of gas
Solution
Ideal gas Law

Avogadro's law : at the same temperature and pressure, the ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles
moles of O₂ = 45% x 0.369 = 0.166
moles of Ar = 12% x 0.369 = 0.044
moles of N = 43% x 0.369 = 0.159
0.500 grams would be left after 56.0 days.
After 14 days=4.00 g
After 28 days=2.00 g
After 42 days=1.00 g
After 56 days=0.500 g
This is after four half lives.
