What is the octet rule? How does it affect how compounds are formed?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Stells [14]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The octet rule is a rule that governs how atoms combines with each other. It postulates that atoms will prefer to have the stable configuration of noble gases by having eight electrons in their outermost shell.

Compounds forms when atoms combines to attain stability. The atoms of some elements shows no tendency to combine with themselves or other kinds of atoms because their outer energy levels are completely filled.

The driving force for many interatomic bonding is the tendency to have completely filled outer energy levels like the noble gases.

The various interatomic  bonds are formed in the bid of the atoms to be isoelectronic in the outer energy level with the noble gases.

This more stable form may be achieved by losing, or gaining electrons or the sharing of pairs of electrons.

I’m very confused on how to solve this
Bond [772]
Recall that density is Mass/Volume. We are given the mL of liquid which is volume so all we need is mass now. We are given the mass of the granulated cylinder both with and without the liquid, so if we subtract them, we can get the mass of the liquid by itself. So, 136.08-105.56= 30.52g. This is the mass of the liquid. We now have all we need to find the density. So, let’s plug these into the density formula. 30.52g/45.4mL= 0.672 g/mL. This is our final answer since the problem requests the answer in g/mL, but be careful, because some problems in the future may ask for g/L requiring unit conversions. Also note that 30.52 was 4 sigfigs and 45.4 was 3 sigfigs, and so dividing them required an answer that was 3 sigfigs as well, hence why the answer is in the thousandths place

6 C(s) + 3 H2(g) → 2 C6H6(l) Δ H = 49 kJ<br><br> TRUE or FALSE
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

True => ΔH°f for C₆H₆ = 49 Kj/mole

Explanation:

See Thermodynamic Properties Table in appendix of most college level general chemistry texts. The values shown are for the standard heat of formation of substances at 25°C. The Standard Heat of Formation of a substance - by definition - is the amount of heat energy gained or lost on formation of the substance from its basic elements in their standard state. C₆H₆(l) is formed from Carbon and Hydrogen in their basic standard states. All elements in their basic standard states have ΔH°f values equal to zero Kj/mole.
