Is drying wet clothes a physical or chemical change

Drying clothes is a physical change, because it is not permanent. The clothes could just be wettened again, therefore it is not a chemical change.

Drying wet clothes would be seen as a physical change. This is because physical changes are changes that affect the form of a chemical substance, but not its chemical composition. Drying wet clothes did not change its chemical composition, therefore the answer to this question IS in fact, a physical change!

In which of these diatomic molecules would you NOT find an octet of electrons

Semmy [17]

Answer:

The hydrogen molecule is the only one in which can not find an octet of electrons around each atom.

Explanation:

Let's evaluate each case.

1. Nitrogen (N₂):

With Z = 7, nitrogen has the following electronic configuration

1s²

2s² 2p³ → valence electrons

Since its valence electrons are 5, in the molecule one nitrogen atom shares 3 electrons with the other one, and each remains with an electron pair, so each atom has an octet of electrons.

2. Hydrogen (H₂):

With Z = 1, its electronic configuration is:

1s¹ → valence electron

In the molecule, the hydrogen atoms share the only electron they have, so they will have only 2 electrons around. In this diatomic molecule, we can not find an octet.

3. Oxygen (O₂):

Z = 8. Electronic configuration:

1s²

2s² 2p⁴ → valence electrons

In the diatomic molecule, each oxygen atom shares 2 electrons with the other one and remains with 2 pairs of electrons, therefore, each oxygen atom has an octet.

4. Fluorine (F₂)

Z = 9. Electronic configuration:

1s²

2s² 2p⁵ → valence electrons

In this molecule, each fluorine atom shares 1 electron with the other and remains with 3 pairs of electrons, hence, each fluorine atom has an octet of electrons around.

Finally, we can say that the hydrogen molecule is the only one in which can not find an octet of electrons around each atom.

I hope it helps you!

During oxidation, which of the following is true? A. Electrons are gained, so the oxidation number increases. B. Electrons are g

EastWind [94]

Oxidation is when the overall charge (or oxidation number) increases. The only way to increase an oxidation number is to lose an electron, thereby making the negative charges less. The correct answer is C.
