Which atom would tend to gain 1 valence electrons from another atom in order to become stable
1 answer:
Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.
So, in order to attain stability it tends to gain one electron from a donor atom. Therefore, a chlorine ion is formed as .
As it gains only one electron that is why, -1 charge occurs.
Whereas Ar is a noble gas with atomic number 18. As it has completely filled octet so it will be unreactive in nature as it is already stable.
Similarly, He is also a noble gas so it is unreactive in nature.
Atomic number of boron (B) is 5 with electronic distribution 2, 3. So, in order to attain stability it needs to lose 3 electrons.
Thus, we can conclude that Cl is the atom which tends to gain 1 valence electron from another atom in order to become stable.

Given :
Moles of Na : 1.06
Moles of C : 0.528
Moles of O : 1.59
To Find :
The empirical formula of the compound.
Solution :
Dividing moles of each atom with the smallest one i.e 0.528 .
So,
Na : 1.06/0.528 = 2.007 ≈ 2
C : 0.528/0.528 = 1
O : 1.59/0.528 = 3.011 ≈ 3
Rounding all them to nearest integer, we will get the number of each atom in the empirical formula.
So, empirical formula is .
Hence, this is the required solution.
