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 combustion method used to analyze for carbon and hydrogen can be adapted to give percentage N by collecting the nitrogen fro
12345 [234]

Answer:

The percentage of N in the compound is 0.5088

Explanation:

Mass of compound = 8.75 mg = 8.75×1000 = 8750 g

Mass of N2 = number of moles of N2 × MW of N2 = 1.59 × 28 = 44.52 g

% of N in the compound = (mass of N2/mass of compound) × 100 = (44.52/8750) × 100 = 5.088×10^-3 × 100 = 0.5088

An inverse relationship can be represented by:<br> a straight line<br> a bar chart
kolezko [41]

Answer:

An inverse relationship can neither be represented by a straight line nor by a bar chart. But it can be represented by "xy = k"

Explanation:

                   Inverse relation is used for the values which are inversely related to each other. For example: Let suppose you have a value x and y. Then an increase in the value of x will result in the decrease of value y. Mathematically it is represented as,

                                                         x  ∝  1 / y

Where;

              ∝ = proportionality

Replacing the proportionality sign by a constant value "k" the relation becomes,

                                                         x  =  k / y

Solving for k,

                                                         x y  =  k

Conclusion:

                  Hence, an inverse relationship can be represented by "xy = k"
