What  happens  when  chlorine  form  an ion  is that  it gains an electron and  has  an octet  in its  outer shell  ( answer  A)


<u><em> Explanation</em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>Chlorine is  is in atomic  number  17  in periodic table.

The electron configuration  of chlorine  is    1S2 2S2 2P6 3S2 3P5   or[Ne]3S2 3p5  or  2.8.7.

chlorine therefore  has 7 valence electron therefore it  gain  1 electron  to form Cl- ( ion)

Cl- has  8  electron in its outer  shell (  it  obeys  octet  rule  of eight valence in outer shell.

Determine the pressure change when a volume of gas at 760 mmHg is heated from 30.0 °C to 40.0 °C.
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

<u>253.33 mmHg</u>

Explanation:

According to Charles' Law,

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

P₁T₂ = P₂T₁

P₂ = P₁T₂ / T₁

= 760 x 40 / 30

= 760 x 4/3

= 1013.33 mmHg

Change in Pressure

= 1013.33 - 760

= <u>253.33 mmHg</u>

Lithium (Li) and oxygen (O) are both in period 2. They both have _____.
AlladinOne [14]

They both have two electron shells

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The period 2 element lies in the second row of the periodic system.

Consists of the elements: lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and neon

  • Lithium (Li)

atomic number : 3

electron configuration : [He] 2s¹

atomic number = number of proton=number of electron(in neutral atom)

So Li have 3 protons and 3 electrons

Because it fills the 2s orbital it has 2 shells

  • Oxygen (O)

atomic number : 8

electron configuration :  [He] 2s²2p⁴

So O have 8 protons and 8 electrons

Because it fills the 2s and 2p orbital it has 2 shells

So Lithium (Li) and Oxygen (O) are both have two electron shells

If I contain 3 moles of gas in a container with a volume of 60 liters and at a
viktelen [127]

Answer:    n = 3.0 moles

V = 60.0 L

T = 400 K

From PV = nRT, you can find P

P = nRT/V = (3.0 mol)(0.0821 L-atm/K-mol)(400 K)/60.0L

P = 1.642 atm = 1.6 atm (to 2 significant figures)

Another chem question I need help with (multiple choice)
Andreyy89

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter B, 2-methylhexane.

Explanation:

Remember that for naming organic compounds first, we need to look for the largest chain of carbons.

In your example, the largest chain is horizontal and has 6 carbons.

Later, we need to circle all the branches, in your example there is only one branch located close to the left side

After that, we number the carbons of the main chain, starting in the corner with more branches, in your example we start from the first carbon on the left.

Finally, start naming the number of the carbon branch, later hte name of the branch and finally the name of the main chain.
