How does the octet rule allow you to predict the charge an ion will have?

1 answer:

6 0

Because of the octet rule, it is easy to predict the charge of the ion of an element. Look at the number of valence electrons the element has. If it is between 1 and 4 the atom will most likely loose those electrons to become stable, making it a positive ion with the charge of the number of electrons it will lose. If it has between 4 and 8 valence electrons the atom will most likely gain electrons to achieve a full outer ring of 8 electrons. Its atom will have a negative charge of the number of electrons it needs to have 8 total. Hope I Helped If You Don't Mind May I Have A Brainliest Answer Please? :)

Which of the following reactions is the least energetic? Question 18 options: ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi ATP + H2O → AMP + PPi AMP + H

Mama L [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is AMP+H2O→ Adenosine + pi

Explanation:

The above reaction is least energetic because there is no phosphoanhydride bond present with adenosine mono phosphate.Phospho anhydride bond is an energy rich bond.

As a result hydrolysis of AMP generates very little amount of energy in comparison to the hydrolysis of ATP and ADP.

Calcium chloride is added to the roadways after a snowstorm. Which colligative property is being showcased here?

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Option (D) freezing point depression

Explanation:

Calcium chloride is added to the roadways after a snowstorm because it reduces the freezing point of the ice. Further more, it has been observed that the calcium chloride also produces enough heat which enhances the melting of the ice as it produces an exothermic reaction.
