Which of the following elements will sulfur most readily react with in order to help it fill its outer shell with 8 electrons?

Chemistry

Answer:

Magnesium

Explanation:

Using the KLMN styled electronic configuration, the electronic configuration of sulphur with atomic number 16 is 2, 8,6

What this means is that it needs extra 2 electrons to fill into its M shell to attain the octet configuration.

Now let’s look at Magnesium, with atomic number 12, the electronic configuration it has is 2,8,2.

This means it has 2 extra electrons to give away so as to attain its own stability.

The sulphur atom will gladly accept the two electrons which the magnesium atom wants to give away. This makes it the perfect element to be reacted with sulphur to make it attain its octet configuration

Federico has two samples of pure water—sample X and sample Y. Sample X has a volume of 1 L, and sample Y has a volume of 10 L. H
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The boiling point of sample X and sample Y are exactly the same.

Explanation:

The difference between sample X and sample Y is that they occupy different volumes. However, they both contain pure water. Remember that pure water has uniform composition irrespective of its volume.

Volume does not affect the boiling point as long as the volume is small enough not to give rise to significant pressure changes in the liquid.

The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the pressure exerted by the surroundings upon a liquid is equaled by the pressure exerted by the vapour of the liquid; under this condition, addition of heat results in the transformation of the liquid into its vapour without raising the temperature.

It can be clearly seen from the above that the volume of a solution of pure water does not affect its boiling point hence sample X and sample Y will have the same boiling point.
