Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Valence electrons is the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.

So, when we move across a period from left to right then there will be increase in number of valence electrons.

For example, valence electrons in carbon is 4, nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, oxygen has 6 valence electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that number of valence electrons increases for elements change across a period.

Balance the following chemical equation, then answer the following question.

julsineya [31]

Molar mass:

O2 = 31.99 g/mol
C8H18 = 144.22 g/mol

<span>2 C8H18(g) + 25 O2(g) = 16 CO2(g) + 18 H2O(g)

2 x 144.22 g --------------- 25 x 31.99 g
10.0 g ----------------------?? ( mass of O2)

10.0 x 25 x 31.99 / 2 x 144.22 =

7997.5 / 288.44 => 27.72 g of O2

hope this helps!

Which of the following scientists was the first to determine the

Maru [420]

Answer:

Robert Boyle

Explanation:

Robert Boyle was an Irish chemist and is famously referred to as the first modern chemist. He was born on the 25th of January, 1627 in Lismore, Ireland and died on the 31st, December 1691, London, United Kingdom.

Robert Boyle was the first to determine the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas.

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by;

$PV = K$
