C. The number of Valence electrons,
Every atom tries to follow the Octet rule i.e To have 8 electrons in its Valence shell.
Every atom tries to accomodate 8 electrons in its Valence shell to stabilize themselves, Metals usually have 1-3 eletrons in their Valence shell which they donate to non metals so their Valnce shell has 8 electroons, (The previous will now be the Valence shell and it will be full)
Similarly Non metals have 4-7 electrons, they accept electrons from metals so they can have 8 electrons in their Valence shell.
Noble gases already have 8 electrons in their Valance shell, so they do not react and stable.

Hope it helps :)

The term for free electrons in metals transferring energy by colliding with other atoms or electrons is _____.
shepuryov [24]
Conduction

In metals, the electrons of each atom are delocalized, which means they are free to move about in the structure of the metal. When heat is applied at one end of the metal, the electrons there are excited and collide with surrounding particles, transferring their energy to them. This is what makes metals very good conductors of both heat and electricity.

Hydrofluoric acid (HF) can be prepared according to the following equation:
Artemon [7]

Given the balanced equation:

( Reaction type : double replacement)

CaF2 + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + 2HFI

We can determine the number of grams prepared from the quantity of 75.0 H2SO4, and 63.0g of CaF2 by converting these grams to moles per substance.

This can be done by evaluating the atomic mass of each element of the substance, and totaling it to find the molecular mass.

For H2SO4 or hydrogen sulfate it's molecular mass is the sum of the quantity of atomic mass per element. H×2 + S×1 + O×4 = ≈1.01×2 + ≈32.06×1 + ≈16×4 = 2.02 + 32.06 + 64 = 98.08 u (Dalton's or Da) or g / mol.

For CaF2 or calcium fluoride, it's molecular mass adds 1 atomic mass of calcium and 2 atomic masses of fluoride due to the number of atoms.

Ca×1 + F×2 = ≈40.07×1 + ≈19×2 = 40.08 + 38 = 78.07 u (Da or Dalton's) or g / mol.

If 50. 75 g of a gas occupies 10. 0 l at stp, 129. 3 g of the gas will occupy ________ l at stp.
NeX [460]

22.4L

of any gas contains 1 mol of that gas.

50.75g/10L*22.4L/1 mol= 113.68g/mol- this is the mole weight of your gas

1 mol/113.68g*129.3g=1.137403 mol

Set up a ratio

1.137403mol/x L=1 mol/22.4 L

X=25.477827L, or with sig figs, x=25.5L

32 gm of O2 to mole of O2
lana [24]

Molar mass of O2:-

\\ \rm\longmapsto 2(16u)=32g/mol

Now

\boxed{\sf No\:of\;moles=\dfrac{Given\:Mass}{Molar\:Mass}}

\\ \rm\longmapsto No\:of\;moles=\dfrac{32}{32}

\\ \rm\longmapsto No\:of\;moles=1mol
