Since Oxygen is in group 16, this element has 6 valence electrons. Valence electrons like to become as stable as possible and similar to a noble gas, which has 8 electrons. You need to find an element that will transfer its atoms to the oxygen to make 8 electrons. Looking at the periodic table, Selenium is in group 16 and will have 6 valence electrons (6 + 6 = 12). This can't transfer electrons with Oxygen. Hydrogen is in group 1 with 1 valence electron (6 + 1 = 7). This can't transfer electrons with Oxygen. Strontium is in group 2 with 2 valence electrons (6 + 2 = 8). This will transfer electrons to Oxygen, making it the most stable.

The answer is O and Sr.

Because the problem says valence electrons are transferred from one atom to the other, it has to be an "ionic" bond (it's not the "covalent" bond because electrons aren't shared with each other). As a matter of fact, an "ionic" bond is formed when a metal combines with a non-metal or a metalloid. Strontium (Sr) is an alkaline earth metal, which is also a metal, and Oxygen (O) is a non-metal. These two atoms will perfectly form (an) "ionic" bond(s). Therefore, option (2) O and Sr is correct.
Hope this would help :))

Explain why 1 mole of diethyl ether requires less heat to
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The quantity of heat required to vapourize 1 mole of a substance depends on the kind of intermolecular forces between the molecules of the substance. Diethyl ether molecules are held together by weak dispersion forces compared to the stronger hydrogen bonding in ethanol. Therefore,  1 mole of diethyl ether requires less heat to  vapourize than is required to vapourize 1 mole of  ethanol.

Intermolecular forces hold the molecules a substance together in a given state of matter. The properties of a substance such as boiling point, melting point etc are dependent on the nature of intermolecular forces holding the molecules of the substance.

Diethyl ether molecules are held together by weak dispersion forces while molecules of ethanol are held together by hydrogen bonds.

Since hydrogen bonds are much stronger than dispersion forces, a greater quantity of heat is required to break the intermolecular hydrogen bonds in ethanol in order to vapourize them than is required to vapourize diethyl ether.

Therefore, owing to stronger intermolecular forces between molecules of ethanol, less heat is required to vapourize than is required to vapourize 1 mole of  ethanol.
