what elements are each color over? can you list one from each color so i can answer it
Answer:
carbon dioxide and water
Explanation:
Example: Combustion of Methane (CH₄(g))
CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) => CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)**
____________________
Note: The combustion of any hydrocarbon produces CO₂ & H₂O. That is,
Ethane (C₂H₆) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)
Propane (C₃H₈) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)
Butane (C₄H₁₀) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)
The issue remaining is to balance the reaction equation. For these type equation balance Carbon 1st, then Hydrogen and finish with Oxygen. Balancing in this order leaves Oxygen which can be balanced using fractions. If problem requires lowest whole number ratios of elements, simply multiply entire equation by 2 to get standard equation*

*Standard Equation is defined as the smallest whole number ratios of elements. The 'standard equation' is significant in that it is assumed to be at STP conditions; i.e., 0⁰C (=273K) & 1.0 Atmosphere pressure.
- Ethane (C₂H₆) + 7/2O₂(g) => 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)
=> 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn
- Propane (C₃H₈) + 5O₂(g) => 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn (no need to balance with the '2' multiple)
- Butane (C₄H₁₀) + 13/2O₂ => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g)
=> 2C₃H₈ + 13O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn

**Also, note that water, H₂O(g), is listed as a gas. In some cases it will be listed as a liquid, H₂O(l).
Answer:
atoms tend to react in order to gain 8 valence electrons
Explanation:
The octet rule describes the tendency of atoms of elements to react in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell. This is because having eight valence electrons confers stability to the atoms of these elements in the compounds they form.
The octet rule only does not apply to the transition elements or the inner transition elements as only the s and p electrons are involved. the electronic configuration in atoms having an octet is s²p⁶.
For example, sodium atom has one valence electron in its valence shell but a complete octet in the inner shell; it will react with chlorine atom which has seven valence electrons to form a stable compound, sodium chloride by donating its one valence electron in order to have an octet. Similarly, the chlorine atom will then have an octet by accepting the one electron from sodium atom.
