Lets take a moment to list all the characteristics of the group 18 (also known as noble gases and/or group 8) elements:
- They have 8 valence electrons.
- Don't need ANY more electrons because their octet is full (stable).
- Are stable
- Not reactive
- Known as the noble gases
Now.. lets take some time to think about why elements want to form ions:
Elements form ions to either gain or lose valence electrons to the element they bond with. This helps them GAIN a full octet. What is a full octet, you may ask? An octet is when an element has all 8 valence electrons and is stable, making it nonreactive.
Why would an element with a full octet want to bond? It already has a full octet, it does not need to bond.
That, my fellow Brainly user, is why the noble gases do not need to bond.
I really do hope this helps! Enjoy, and good luck on the studies.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
We can see the colors of the rainbow, therefore they are visible.
Answer:
Acids: Tastes Sour
Has a ph less than 7
Base: Bitter
Has a ph greater than 7
slippery
Acid&Base: Conducts electricity
Answer: matter and its interaction with energy. Matter has mass and occupies space. A Substance is matter that cannot be separated into other kinds of matter by physical means.
Explanation:
Hello!
First, HNO₃ dissociates in the following way:
HNO₃(aq) → H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)
Next, there is a neutralization reaction with Methylamine:
H⁺(aq) + CH₃NH₂(aq) → CH₃NH₃⁺(aq)
Finally, the formed methylammonium ion weakly dissociates in the following way:
CH₃NH₃⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + CH₃NH₂ (aq)
From this sequence of reactions, we can see that the resulting solution would be slightly more acidic than the initial one, as the buffer solution resists the addition of strong acid.
Have a nice day!
