Explanation:

As it is given that the element contains a total of 8 electrons. So, electronic distribution of this element will be 2, 6.

That is, there will be two electrons present in first shell and there will be six electrons present in second valence shell.

Here, we also get to know that this element contains 6 valence electrons hence, it is a group 16 element.

Thus, we can conclude that if an element contains 8 electrons then 6 electrons will be placed in the 2nd valence shell.

If an element contains 8 electrons, then there would be 6 electrons that will be placed in the 2nd valence shell. Each shell in an atom can only take up a fixed number of electrons. For the first shell, only two electrons can be found. For the second shell, it can hold up to 8 electrons. However, for this case only six electrons can be found since the others are found in the first shell.

Answer:

Water would not be able to transport nutrients -‐-‐ in plants, or in our bodies -‐-‐ nor to dissolve and transport waste products out of our bodies. ... Cohesiveness, adhesiveness, and surface tension: would decrease because without the +/-‐ polarity, water would not form hydrogen bonds between H20 molecules.

A sample of gas in a balloon has an initial temperature of 21 ∘C and a volume of 1310 L . If the temperature changes to 70 ∘C ,
bixtya [17]

Answer:

1528.3L

Explanation:

To solve this problem we should know this formula:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

We must convert the values of T° to Absolute T° (T° in K)

21°C + 273 = 294K

70°C + 273 = 343K

Now we can replace the data

1310L / 294K = V₂ / 343K

V₂ = (1310L / 294K) . 343K → 1528.3L

If the pressure keeps on constant, volume is modified directly proportional to absolute temperature. As T° has increased, the volume increased too

This is the equation for the combustion of propane.
yan [13]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Reactants are the compounds which reaction produce the products. In general terms this can be expressed symbolically as follows:

reactants -> products

Other phenomena like heat are omitted because are not always present, that is, only compounds are included. Therefore, in this reaction the reactants are C3H8 (propane) and O2 ( oxygen) and the products are CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water)

Identify the oxidizing agent in the reaction: sn(s) + 2h+(aq) → sn2+(aq) + h2(g)
mylen [45]
In the reaction Sn(s) + 2H+(aq) → Sn2+ (aq) + H2(g)
from this reaction, we get that Sn loses from 0 to 2 electrons so it's oxidized So it is the reducing agent.
and H  gains from 0 to 1 electrons so, it's reduced so ∴ it is the oxidizing agent
