Sulfur is an exception to the octet rule because it can have an expanded valence shell that holds more than 8 electrons. Common examples are sulfur tetrafluoride which has 10 valence electrons and sulfur hexafluoride which has 12 valence electrons.

However, there are no sulfur compounds with less than 8 valence electrons. So, the answer is false.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

His answer is incorrect. If we round the dimensions, 3.76 m is almost 4 m, and 5.49 m is almost 5.5 m. 4 × 5.5 = 22. So his answer should be close to 22 m².

the set $s = \$ contains the first $50$ positive integers. after the multiples of 2 and the multiples of 3 are removed, how many

Sophie [7]

Clearly, |S| = 50.

Count the multiples of 2 between 1 and 50:

⌊50/2⌋ = ⌊25⌋ = 25

(where ⌊x⌋ denotes the "floor of x", or the largest integer that is smaller than or equal to x; in other words, round <u>down</u> to the nearest integer)

Count the multiples of 3 between 1 and 50:

⌊50/3⌋ ≈ ⌊16.667⌋ = 16

Since LCM(2, 3) = 6, the sets of multiples of 2 and multiples of 3 have some overlap. Count the multiples of 6 between 1 and 50:

⌊50/6⌋ ≈ ⌊8.333⌋ = 8

Then by the inclusion/exclusion principle, we remove from S

25 + 16 - 8 = 33

elements, so that the new set S contains 50 - 33 = 17 elements.
