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.

The dessert can be harsh environment with extreme heat during the day and cold during the night also there is very little rainfa
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The desert refers to a region of arid land which is characterized by extreme temperatures, extreme dryness, low amount of precipitation and generally harsh living conditions. Because of these harsh conditions, they have been tagged with various names ranging from 'Death Valley' to 'the place from where there is no return' etc.

Every desert is made up of 2 components:  the <u>biotic (living) component</u> and the <u>abiotic (non-living) component</u>. The biotic (living) component consists of the plants and animals that have adapted to these harsh living conditions e.g. Cactus or Cacti, Holly plants, Camels, Lizards, Snakes etc. The abiotic (non-living) component consists of climate (subtropical deserts which are extremely cold or temperate deserts which are extremely hot), location, precipitation/rainfall

If you start with 3 moles of sodium and 3 moles of chlorine to produce sodium chloride, what is the limiting reagent?(you will n
Harman [31]

Sodium(Na) is the limiting reagent.

<h3>What is Limiting reagent?</h3>

The reactant that is totally consumed during a reaction, or the limiting reagent, decides when the process comes to an end. The precise quantity of reactant required to react with another element may be estimated from the reaction stoichiometry.

How do you identify a limiting reagent?

The limiting reactant is the one that is consumed first and sets a limit on the quantity of product(s) that can be produced. Calculate how many moles of each reactant are present and contrast this ratio with the mole ratio of the reactants in the balanced chemical equation to get the limiting reactant.

Start by writing the balanced chemical equation that describes this reaction

2Na_{(s)} + Cl_{2 (g)} -- > 2NaCl_{(s)}

Notice that the reaction consumes 2 moles of sodium metal for every 1 mole of chlorine gas that takes part in the reaction and produces 2 moles of sodium chloride.

now we can see that we have 3 moles of sodium and 3 moles of chlorine, according to question. so, we can say that sodium is the limiting reagent in the given situation.
