True or false the si in sih4 does not follow the octet rule because hydrogen is in an unusual oxidation stat

Chemistry

ExtremeBDS [4]3 years ago

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 compound responsible for the characteristic smell of garlic is allicin, c6h10os2. the mass of 1.00 mol of allicin, rounded t
Gemiola [76]

The compound responsible for the characteristic smell of garlic is allicin, that is having molecular formula C₆H₁₀OS₂.

Molar mass of C₆H₁₀OS₂=162.26 g mol⁻¹.

number of moles of C₆H₁₀OS₂=1 mol

So mass of C₆H₁₀OS₂ can be calculated as:


Number of moles of C_{6}H_{10}OS_{2}, n= \frac{Given mass of the }{Molar mass of theC_{6}H_{10}OS_{2}}

1= \frac{Given mass of the C_{6}H_{10}OS_{2}}{162.26}

Given mass of the C₆H₁₀OS₂= 162 g

Label A is showing___ frequency waves, and label B is showing ___ frequency waves
igomit [66]

It's not really possible to tell longitudinal vs. transverse in this image as given. However, we can say that the waves labeled A are high-frequency (short wavelengths) while the waves labeled B are low-frequency (long wavelengths). So, this third answer choice would be correct here.

Why do you think that tsunamis occur most commonly in the Pacific Ocean?
zhenek [66]
Tsunamis are most common in the Pacific Ocean Basin. The entire Pacific Ocean is ringed by areas known as subduction zones, where the tectonic plates of the earth are moving relative to one another. Subduction zones are where two or more plates are colliding and one is going underneath another.

Identify the spectator ions in this reaction:<br> 2H+ + 2NO3- + Ca2+ + 2OH- → Ca2+ + 2NO3 + 2H20
inysia [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

2NO3, Ca2+

Spectator ions exists in both sides of the equation. These ions are present in both sides thus cancel out (they do not contribute to reaction...i.e. they only watch or spectate ;) )
