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.
The amount of oxygen that are produced when 1.06 grams of potassium chlorate decompose completely is 0.64 grams.
<h3>What is the relation between mass & moles?</h3>
Relation between the mass and moles of any substance will be represented as:
- n = W/M, where
- W = given mass
- M = molar mass
Moles of potassium chlorate = 1.66g / 122.5g/mol = 0.0135mole
Given chemical reaction is:
2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂
From the stoichiometry of the reaction, it is clear that:
2 moles of KClO₃ = produces 3 moles of O₂
0.0135 moles of KClO₃ = produces (3/2)(0.0135)=0.02 moles of O₂
Mass of oxygen = (0.02mol)(32g/mol) = 0.64 g
Hence produced mass of oxygen is 0.64 grams.

Answer:
m = 671 grams
Explanation:
Given that,
No of moles, n = 4.9
Molar mass of Barium, M = 137 g
Mass divided by molar mass is equal to no of moles. It can be given by the formula as follows :
or
m = 671 grams
So, the total mass of the sample of Barium is 671 grams.
