The statement is true. The octet rule refers to the general rule of thumb wherein atoms of main-group elements tend to bond with other atoms in such a way that each atom possesses eight electrons (octet) in their valence shell. They tend to form the same electronic configuration as the noble gases. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. One of which is silane, SiH₄. A hydrogen atom only has 1 valence electron and needs another electron to complete its energy level. This is unlike other atoms, for example, carbon which has 4 valence electrons and needs to form 4 covalent bonds to fill its energy levels. Thus, 4 hydrogen atoms need only 4 more electrons. This is given by the silicon atom which has 4 valence electrons. Therefore, when a silicon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms, the resulting molecule, SiH₄, is a stable one.
It is water soluble so is also soluble in aqueous solutions of NaOH or NaHCO3.
Answer:
Inorganic chemistry: Inorganic chemistry is the study of chemicals that, in general, are not primarily based on carbon. Analytical chemistry: Analytical chemistry is the study of the composition of matter. It focuses on separating, identifying, and quantifying chemicals in samples of matter.

Answer:
The Earth formed billions of years after the Universe formed
Explanation:
The "universe" is said to have been formed <em>billions of year ago</em> through an explosion. This was called the <em>"Big Bang Theory." </em>This lead to the<u> expansion of the universe</u> owing to its high temperature and density. After which, the universe cooled down. Galaxies and stars were then formed. Some of the stars died due to explosion, which then led to the <u>creation of planets</u>. Such formation of the planets happened around <u>4.5 billion years ago.</u> This is <em>9.3 billions of years later</em> than the universe was formed<em> (13.8 billions of years ago)</em>. So, this explains the answer.
Answer:
V₂ = 2.91 L
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial volume = 3.50 L
Initial temperature = 90.0°C (90+273 = 363 K)
Final temperature = 30.0 °C ( 30 +273 = 303 K)
Final volume = ?
Solution:
V₁ = Initial volume
T₁ = Initial temperature
V₂ = Final volume
T₂ = Final temperature
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
3.50 L / 363 K) = V₂ / 303 K)
V₂ = 0.0096 L/K × 303 K
V₂ = 2.91 L
