What is the number of valence electrons that most atoms prefer?

Answer: 8 electrons

Explanation: Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and they are important in chemical reactions.

Atoms are <em>happy</em> when they follow the octet rule which states that 2 electrons can go in the first shell and 8 electrons can go in the other shells.

Electrons are happy when they have a full outer shell which usually needs to be 8 electrons. However, some of the smaller elements like helium are happy because they can hold a max of 2 electrons and helium has 2 electrons since it has 2 protons in its core as well as 2 electrons in its energy levels.

Compare the densities of hydrogen, oxygen, and water.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Water is a compound made up of two elements—hydrogen and oxygen. ... They are both colorless, odorless gases , and they both readily react with other elements—making them "reactive" elements. But in many ways they are very different from each other. Hydrogen has the lowest density of all the elements.

The density of an unknown gas at 98°C and 740 mmHg is 2.50 g/L. What is the molar mass of the gas with work showed?
noname [10]

Answer:

78.2 g/mol  

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the <em>Ideal Gas Law</em> to solve this problem:

       pV = nRT

Since n = m/M, the equation becomes

      pV = (m/M)RT     Multiply each side by M

   pVM = mRT               Divide each side by pV

        M = (mRT)/(pV)

Data:

ρ = 2.50 g/L

R = 0.082 16 L·atm·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

T =98 °C

p = 740 mmHg

Calculation:

(a)<em> Convert temperature to kelvins </em>

T = (98 + 273.15) = 371.15 K

(b) <em>Convert pressure to atmospheres </em>

p = 740 × 1/760 =0.9737 atm

(c) <em>Calculate the molar mass </em>

Assume V = 1 L.

   Then m = 2.50 g

            M = (2.50 × 0.082 06 × 371.15)/(0.9737 × 1)

                = 76.14/0.9737

                = 78.2 g/mol
