Answer:
A. The average of all the data points
The statement is true. The octet rule refers to the general rule of thumb wherein atoms of main-group elements tend to bond with other atoms in such a way that each atom possesses eight electrons (octet) in their valence shell. They tend to form the same electronic configuration as the noble gases. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. One of which is silane, SiH₄. A hydrogen atom only has 1 valence electron and needs another electron to complete its energy level. This is unlike other atoms, for example, carbon which has 4 valence electrons and needs to form 4 covalent bonds to fill its energy levels. Thus, 4 hydrogen atoms need only 4 more electrons. This is given by the silicon atom which has 4 valence electrons. Therefore, when a silicon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms, the resulting molecule, SiH₄, is a stable one.

The mass of sodium sulphate, Na₂SO₄, required to prepare the solution is 10.65 g
<h3>How to determine the mole of sodium sulphate Na₂SO₄</h3>
- Volume = 250 mL = 250 / 1000 = 0.25 L
- Molarity = 0.3 M
Mole = Molarity x Volume
Mole of Na₂SO₄ = 0.3 × 0.25
Mole of Na₂SO₄ = 0.075 mole
<h3>How to determine the mass of sodium sulphate Na₂SO₄</h3>
- Molar mass of Na₂SO₄ = 142.05 g/mol
- Mole of Na₂SO₄ = 0.075 mole
Mass = mole × molar mass
Mass of Na₂SO₄ = 0.075 × 142.05
Mass of Na₂SO₄ = 10.65 g
Thus, 10.65 g of Na₂SO₄ is needed to prepare the solution.
