How would an electron shell model of an oxygen atom (O) appear after the atom has formed chemical bonds? It would have six elect
rons in the outermost shell.
2 answers:
Answer: It would have 8 electrons in its outermost shell.
Explanation:
The outermost shell of an Oxygen atom, usually called valence shells contains only 6 electrons while the rest 2 are in the innermost shell.
When chemicals bonds are formed, it takes in just 2 more electrons from the donor atom to form a stable octet state.
Example is the covalent bond between Hydrogen atom. (Check attatchment)

<u>Answer:</u> 1.2 moles of carbon dioxide is produced for the given value of oxygen.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The chemical reaction for the combustion of acetylene follows the equation:
By stoichiometry of the reaction:
5 moles of oxygen produces 4 moles of carbon dioxide.
So, 1.5 moles of oxygen will produce = of carbon dioxide.
Hence, 1.2 moles of carbon dioxide is produced for the given value of oxygen.
