Silver has one valence electron and oxygen has 6 electrons in the outermost shell. Ionic bonds are formed by the transfer of electrons from a metal to a non metal.
atoms are most stable when they complete their outermost shell and complete the octet. This is when their s and p subshells in the outermost shell are complete, eight electrons hence complete octet. 
silver has one valence electron so to become stable it will lose that valence electron and transfer it to oxygen. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons so to become stable it needs 2 electrons to complete its octet. 
One silver atom gives one electron each, since oxygen needs 2 electrons ,
2 silver atoms are needed to form an ionic bond. 
Ag will become cation - Ag⁺ and Oxygen will become an anion - O²⁻
ionic bond is formed due to the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
ionic compound - Ag₂O
2 silver atoms needed for one oxygen

Isotope atoms mean, atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons in their nuclei . The given oxygen atoms are isotopes meaning they have different number of neutrons in their nuclei . Oxygen 16 have 8 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus but Oxygen has 8 protons and 10 neutrons. That's what make them different.

The kinetic theory assumes that collisions of gas particles are perfectly elastic. What does this statement mean?
In-s [12.5K]
<span>Stating that collisions of gas particles are perfectly elastic means that no kinetic energy is lost when the gases collide, and no kinetic energy is gained. Some of the properties of gases include volume, pressure, thermal conductivity, pressure, and viscosity.</span>

An expandable container of oxygen has a volume of 30.0mL at a pressure of 36.7psi. If the pressure of the oxygen is reduced to 2
ELEN [110]

Answer:44.04mL

Explanation:Parameters given

V1 = 30.0mL

P1 = 36.7psi

P2 = 25.0psi

V2 = ??

From Boyle's gas law, which states that "the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature"

This means that,

the pressure of a gas tends to increase as the volume of the container decreases, and also the pressure of a gas tends to decrease as the volume of the container increases.

Mathematically, Boyle's can be represented as shown below

P= k/V

Where P = Pressure, V = Volume and k is constant

Therefore,

PV = k

P1V1 = P2V2 =PnVn

Using the formula

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = P1V1/P2

V2 = (36.7psi × 30.0mL) / 25.0psi

V2 = 1101.0/25.0

V2 = 44.04mL

Which of the major organ systems keeps you breathing?
butalik [34]
<span>The lungs are the main organ of the respiratory system, which carries oxygen through the body by means of red blood cells and picks up carbon dioxide, a waste gas, to expel from the body when an organism exhales. The trachea filters the inhaled air and branches into the bronchi, where the air tubes carry air directly into the lungs. The diaphragm is the main muscle of the respiratory system, contracting to increase the volume of the lungs and carry air into the body and expanding to force air out of the lungs.</span>
