Answer:
Four
Step-by-step explanation:
The <em>superscripts</em> in an electron configuration tell us how many electrons are in a subshell.
If the electron configuration is 1s¹ 2s¹2p², the total number of electrons is
1 + 1 + 2 = 4
The atom contains four electrons.
<em>Note</em>: this atom is in an <em>excited state</em>, because the 1s and 2s subshells can each hold one more electron.
The products for the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon in excess air is carbon dioxide and water. Any hydrocarbon when reacted with oxygen will always yield the said products. Incomplete combustion, on the other hand, yields carbon monoxide and water.
The problem above can be solved using M1V1=M2V2 where M1 is the concentration of the concentrated, V1 is the volume of the concentrated solution, M2 is the concentration of the Dilute Solution, V2 is the Volume of the dilute solution. Hence,
(3.0 M)(V2)=(250 mL)(1.2M)
V2 (3.0)= 300
V2= 100 mL
Therefore, you need 100 mL of 3.0 M HCl to form a 250 mL of 1.2 M HCl.

58. Each of the following answers is based on the assumption that nonmetallic
atoms tend to form covalent bonds in order to get an octet (8) of
electrons around each atom, like the very stable noble gases (other than
helium). Covalent bonds (represented by lines in Lewis structures) and lone
pairs each contribute two electrons to the octet.
(a) oxygen, O
If oxygen atoms form two covalent bonds, they will have an octet of electrons
around them. Water is an example:
H O H
(b) fluorine, F
If fluorine atoms form one covalent bond, they will have an octet of electrons
around them. Hydrogen fluoride, HF, is an example:
H F
(c) carbon, C
If carbon atoms form four covalent bonds, they will have an octet of electrons
around them. Methane, CH4, is an example:
H H

(d) phosphorus, P
If phosphorus atoms form three covalent bonds, they will have an octet
