Answer:

atoms tend to react in order to gain 8 valence electrons

Explanation:

The octet rule describes the tendency of atoms of elements to react in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell. This is because having eight valence electrons confers stability to the atoms of these elements in the compounds they form.

The octet rule only does not apply to the transition elements or the inner transition elements as only the s and p electrons are involved. the electronic configuration in atoms having an octet is s²p⁶.

For example, sodium atom has one valence electron in its valence shell but a complete octet in the inner shell; it will react with chlorine atom which has seven valence electrons to form a stable compound, sodium chloride by donating its one valence electron in order to have an octet. Similarly, the chlorine atom will then have an octet by accepting the one electron from sodium atom.

How many molecules are in 69 grams of Na?
12345 [234]
Molar mass Na = 23.0 g/mol

1 mol ---- 23.0 g
n mol ---- 69 g

n = 69 / 23.0

n = 3.0 moles

1 mole -------- 6.02x10²³ molecules
3.0 moles ---- ?

3.0 *  6.02x10²³ / 1

= 1.806x10²⁴ molecules

hope this helps!

Which of the following will increase entropy in a reaction?
Lapatulllka [165]

B. Heating up the reaction will increase the entropy of a reaction.

<h3>What is entropy?</h3>

Entropy is the measure of the degree of disorderliness of a system.

Entropy is also the measure of a system's thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work.

S = ΔH/T

where;

  • S is entropy
  • ΔH is energy input
  • T is  temperature

Entropy increases in reactions in which the total number of product molecules is greater than the total number of reactant molecules.

However, entropy increases as temperature increases. Thus, heating up the reaction will increase the entropy of a reaction.
