The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects observation that atoms of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas. The rule is especially applicable to carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens, but also to metals such as sodium or magnesium.
The valence electrons can be counted using a Lewis electron dot diagram as shown at the right for carbon dioxide. The electrons shared by the two atoms in a covalent bond are counted twice, once for each atom. In carbon dioxide each oxygen shares four electrons with the central carbon, two (shown in red) from the oxygen itself and two (shown in black) from the carbon. All four of these electrons are counted in both the carbon octet and the oxygen octet.
Q = m x c x ΔT
2500 = 0.135 x C x 80.5
2500 = 10.8765 x C
C = 230.043 J/Kg.K
hope this helps
Answer:
protons : 10
electron : 10
neutron : 10
Explanation:
Protons will usually be the same as the electrons when its a <u>Atom</u> (when its a ion or covalent bond or simple bond they will most likely be different)
the atomic number represents protons and electrons
the mass number - the atomic number = neutron
Answer:
They all wear their skeletons on the outside! This is called an exoskeleton and all creatures that have their structure on the outside are included in the phylum of Arthropods.
