Which elements do not strictly follow the octet rule when they appear in the Lewis structure of a molecule?

Chemistry

Virty [35]3 years ago
5 0

Thee question is incomplete; the complete question is;

Which elements do not strictly follow the octet rule when they appear in the Lewis structure of a molecule?

Select one or more:

A: Chlorine

B: Carbon

C: Hydrogen

D: Sulfur

E: Fluorine

F: Oxygen

Answer:

chlorine

sulphur

Explanation:

The octet rule states that, for  atoms to be stable, they must have eight electrons on their outermost shells.

This rule is not strictly followed  by some elements such as sulphur and chlorine. The atoms of these elements can sometimes expand their octet by utilizing the d-orbitals found in the third principal energy level and beyond.

These leads to formation of compounds in which the central atom has more than eight electrons in its outermost shell.

How many liters are in 2.75 ounces? Use the conversion factor: 1 liter = 33.814 ounces Rounded to the result to 3 significant fi
Serggg [28]
1L = 33.814 oz
xL = 2.75 oz

so it's a proportion

1L / 33.814 oz = xL / 2.75

solve for x

(1/33.814) * 2.75 = 0.0813272609 on your calculator, but it's not the answer.

the number in your problem, 2.75 oz, has 3 significant figures. so you can only round this number to 3 significant figures too.

your equipment isn't accurate enough to give a reading to 10 significant figures if that makes sense. you have to give the answer in terms of the term you use with the lowest significant figures.

so with 3 significant figures,
0.0813272609 rounds to
0.0813 L

Which element most likely has the same number of valence electrons as silicon(si)?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Carbon, germanium, tin and lead.

Explanation:

The silicon is belong to the carbon family. There are five elements in carbon family carbon, silicon, germanium, tin and lead. These five elements are present in same group i.e group fourteen. The elements present in same group have same number of valance electrons.

For example.

Carbon electronic configuration:

C₆ = [He]  2s² 2p²

Silicon electronic configuration:

Si₁₄ = [Ne] 3s² 3p²

Germanium electronic configuration:

Ge₃₂ = [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p²

Tin electronic configuration:

Sn₅₀ = [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p²

Lead electronic configuration:

Pb₈₂ = [Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6s² 6p²

we can see that in case of all elements there are four valance electrons, which are equal to the valance electrons of silicon.
