B. eight valence electrons.

3 0

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an atom's octet or shell is filled then the atom becomes stable. Therefore, the atom will be very less reactive as it does not need more electrons to fill its shell.

For example, neon has atomic number 10 and electron distribution in its shells is 2, 8. As there are 8 electrons in its valence shell this means that it has attained stability according to the octet rule. Hence, it will be least reactive.

Thus, we can conclude that atoms of the LEAST reactive elements tend to have eight valence electrons.

Rank the following from highest to lowest priority according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system: -CH2CH3, -CHCH2, -CCH, -CH3.
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The order will be:

CCH > CHCH₂ > CH₂CH₃> CH₃

Explanation:

According to Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system we rank the groups based on the atomic number of directly attached atom with the chiral carbon.

For example: between C and H, we rank Carbon first.

If the same atoms are attached for different groups then we prioritized based on the second element with highest atomic number.

For example:

Among CH₃ and C₂H₅, the priority will be given to C₂H₅.

If an atom is double or triple bonded to the directly attached atom then each pi bond is considered to be a new atom.

Hence CH=CH₂ means, that there are two carbons attached to CH carbon.

So the order based on above selection rules will be:

CCH > CHCH₂ > CH₂CH₃> CH₃

How many liters of Cl2 gas will you have if you are using 63 g of Na?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

You will have 19.9L of Cl2

Explanation:

We can solve this question using:

PV = nRT; V = nRT/P

<em>Where V is the volume of the gas</em>

<em>n the moles of Cl2</em>

<em>R is gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK</em>

<em>T is 273.15K assuming STP conditions</em>

<em>P is 1atm at STP</em>

The moles of 63g of Cl2 gas are -molar mass: 70.906g/mol:

63g * (1mol / 70.906g) = 0.8885 moles

Replacing:

V = 0.8885mol*0.082atmL/molK*273.15K/1atm

V = You will have 19.9L of Cl2

6.75 L of carbon dioxide gas are stored at a pressure of 175 atm. If the temperature and number of gas particles do not change,
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

4.24 L

Explanation:

  • 6.75 L - 175 atm

x. - 110 atm

  • <u>175atm </u><u>x</u>=<u>742.5L /atm</u>

175atm 175atm

  • therefore x=4.24 L

What is the molar mass of a compound?
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The molar mass of a compound is The mass in grams of 1 mole of the compound (Option A)

Explanation:

Let's take ammonia as an example (NH3)

Mass of N = 14 g

Mass of H = 1 g

Molar mass of ammonia is Mass of N + (Mass of H).3

14 + 3 = 17 g/m

Ammonia is a compound that has 1 mol of N, plus 3 moles of H (see the formula)

The number of atoms in 1 mole of the compound --> This is Avogadro
