Why do molecules of oxygen have to have an even number of atoms?

Chemistry

Answer:this is all i found out

Oxygen is known as a diatomic molecule. Oxygen atom has atomic number as 8 so it has its K shell completely filled with 2 electrons. While it has only 6 electrons in L shell which requires 8 electrons to get inert gas configuration. So oxygen atom shares 2 electrons with another oxygen atom to form a diatomic molecule.

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Atomic numbers:

Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. It is one of the most diagonistic and representative number used in identifying an atom. The periodic table of element arranges elements based on this number.

No two elements have the same atomic number.

Protons are positively charged particles in an atom.

  • In a neutral atom, the atomic number is the same as the number electrons since electrical neutrality is attained when the number of protons and electrons are the same.
  • The atomic number determines the position of an atom on the periodic table and it is unique for every atom.

2.

Periodic patterns

These are trends on that can be predicted on the periodic table because they shew regularities down a group or sometimes across the period.

Some of these trends are atomic radius, electronegativity, metallicity, nuclear charge e.t.c

Properties of elements can be predicted using these patterns even before they are discovered.

b.

Physical property shared by Helium, Argon and Neon is that they are all gases. All group 8 elements are called noble or inert gases.

Chemical property of these elements: they are chemically unreactive.

These gases are very stable having complete electronic shell configuration. Every atom on the periodic table tries to attain the state of the noble gases.

C.

Noble Gases/ Inert Gases/ Group O elements

Water has a density of 1 g/cc. If you have 1 cc of water, how much mass does it contain?
rewona [7]
Water has a density of 1 g/cc. If you have 1 cc of water, then the mass it contains would be 1 g. <span>Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. It is a property that can be used to describe a substance. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

A chemical change combining two elements results in?
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

When two distinct elements are chemically combined for example, chemical bonds form between their atoms, the result is called a chemical compound. Most elements on Earth bond with other elements to form chemical compounds, such as sodium and Chloride, which combine to form table salt.
