Answer: C)Anion, it would gain 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule.

Explanation:

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and thus the electronic configuration of oxygen with 8 electrons is

O:8:1s^22s^22p^4

The cation is formed by loss of electrons and anions are formed by gain of electrons.  

In order to complete its octet and get stable, it gains 2 electrons and thus would form an anion.

O^{2-}:10:1s^22s^22p^6

Determine the molarity of 56.00 grams of aluminum nitrate in 450 milliliters of solution?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

4.62 M

Explanation:

Molarity = moles/volumes (L), so you need to find the moles and the volumes in liters.

Finding the volume is easy because you just have to convert mL to L, so the volume is 0.45 L

Next, find the moles. You can do this by using the molar mass of aluminum to convert the grams to moles. The molar mass of aluminum is 26.98 g/mol.

56 g * (1 mol/26.98 g) = 2.08 mol

Now, divide the moles (2.08) by the volume (.45 L)

Molarity = 4.62 M

(a)kcl ionic (b)p4 nonpolar covalent (c)bf3 nonpolar covalent (d)so2 nonpolar covalent (e)br2 nonpolar covalent (f)no2 nonpolar
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Because K and Cl have such a large disparity in their electronegativities, KCl is a bipolar ionic molecule.

<h3>What exactly are polar and nonpolar bonds?</h3>

Polar covalent bonds develop when the distribution of electrons among atoms is uneven, whereas nonpolar side chains develop when the distribution of electrons is more even. The reason for the unequal sharing of electrons is because the atoms receiving them have various electronegativities.

<h3>How are polar bonds created?</h3>

Whenever a single pair of electrons is not shared equally, a polar molecule bond is created. This is caused by the electronegativity difference between the two elements. An unit of h as well as an unit of bromine share a pair of electrons, but not evenly.

Smoke filling up a room is diffusion or not
maxonik [38]
Yes, because it comes from a one thing and spreads throughout the entire space. Similar to dripping foot coloring into a glass of water, or spraying air freshener.
