 <span>The </span>octet rule<span> is a chemical </span>rule<span> of thumb that reflects observation that atoms of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.

Hope this helps</span>

Suppose water did not form hydrogen bonds.
Vilka [71]

-70°C

Sink

little

hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

Completing the statements:

Water's boiling point would have been close to -70°C. Ice would sink in water. Water would release little heat to warm land during the winter. Ice is less dense than water because of the hydrogen bonding that forms a hexagonal structure in water.

The unique property of water is as a result of its hydrogen bonding. Water is a polar covalent compound. Like most covalent compound, water would have naturally had a very low boiling point.

The intermolecular forces all hydrogen bonding gives water its unique nature.

Hydrogen bond is formed by an attraction between hydrogen one water water molecule and  more electronegative atom on another molecule usually oxygen, nitrogen and fluorine.

They form very strong intermolecular interaction responsible for the behavior of water.

The higher specific heat capacity of water is due to this bond. It absorbs a lot of heat and does not release them on time. This causes water release heat during winter.

Water has a hexagonal shape or structure linking each molecules.

Equation balancing
meriva

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The balanced equation is 2S(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)

<u>For c:</u> The balanced equation is 2NaOH(s)+H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq)+2H_2O(l)

<u>Explanation:</u>

A balanced chemical equation is one where all the individual atoms are equal on both sides of the reaction. It follows the law of conservation of mass.

  • <u>For (a):</u>

The given unbalanced equation follows:

S(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow SO_3(g)

To balance the equation, we must balance the atoms by adding 2 infront of both S(s) and SO_3 and 3 in front of O_2

For the balanced chemical equation:

2S(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)

  • <u>For (b):</u>

The given balanced equation follows:

2Al(s)+3Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2AlCl_3(s)

The given equation is already balanced.

  • <u>For (c):</u>

The given unbalanced equation follows:

2NaOH(s)+H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq)+H_2O(l)

To balance the equation, we must balance the atoms by adding 2 infront of H_2O(l)

For the balanced chemical equation:

2NaOH(s)+H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq)+2H_2O(l)

  • <u>For (d):</u>

The given balanced equation follows:

C_3H_8(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)

The given equation is already balanced.
