Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Valence shell is the shell present on the outermost core of an atom and electrons present in the valence shell are known as valence electrons.

If an atom has completely filled valence shell then it means the atom is not reactive in nature because it is already stable.

But when an atom has less than eight electrons in its valence shell then it means to attain stability the atom will readily attract electrons towards itself.

As the given element 1 has 8 electrons in its valence shell. Hence, it is not reactive in nature but element 2 has 6 valence electrons. So, in order to attain stability element 2 will readily attract 2 electrons from a donor atom.

Thus, we can conclude that element 2 is more reactive because it does not have a full valence shell, so it will attract electrons.

Adi loves the smell of lavender, so she decides to press a few petals of the flower until they release a few drops of oil. She w

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

What Adi failed to realize is that the oily substance that was obtained from lavender consists of a mixture of substances. It is not only the required fragrance that is present in the extract.

This experiment will not work because those other components in the mixture may be erroneously identified when they show up in the mass spectrum of the extract and may be mistaken for the fragrance in question.

Hence the experiment will not work because; if some kind of separation method is not used to identify other impurities in the oil, many other substances may be mistaken for the actual fragrance.

A sample of Xe gas is observed to effuse through a pourous barrier in 4.83 minutes. Under the same conditions, the same number o

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

28.93 g/mol

Explanation:

This is an extension of Graham's Law of Effusion where $\frac{R1}{R2} = \sqrt{\frac{M2}{M1} } = \frac{t2}{t1}$

We're only talking about molar mass and time (t) here so we'll just concentrate on $\sqrt{\frac{M2}{M1} } = \frac{t2}{t1}$ . Notice how the molar mass and time are on the same position, recall effusion is when gas escapes from a container through a small hole. The time it takes it to leave depends on the molar mass. If the gas is heavy, like Xe, it would take a longer time (4.83 minutes). If it was light it would leave in less time, that gives us somewhat an idea what our element could be, we know that it's atleast an element before Xenon.

Let's plug everything in and solve for M2. I chose M2 to be the unknown here because it's easier to have it basically as a whole number already.

$\sqrt{\frac{M2}{131} } = \frac{2.29}{4.83}$

The square root is easier to deal with if you take it out in the first step, so let's remove it by squaring each side by 2, the opposite of square root essentially.

$(\sqrt{\frac{M2}{131} } )^2= (\frac{2.29}{4.83})^2$

${\frac{M2}{131} } = (0.47)^2$

${\frac{M2}{131} } = 0.22$

M2= 0.22 x 131

M2= 28.93 g/mol
