Alr u see. argon is in group 8 of the periodic table, also known as noble gases. noble gases all have full shells, octect. this means that there is no chance for covalent or ionic bonding, no valence electrons available to bonding.

however, chlorine is in group 7 of the periodic table. this means to obtain a full octect shell, they will have to undergo covalent bonding to form a full octect shell.

hence, argon is more stable compared to chlorine

Calculate the percent composition by mass of iron in Fe(NO3)3
Dovator [93]

Answer:

It's 23.14 percent

Explanation:

First, the mass of all the elements are:

N = 14

O = 16

Fe = 56

In this molecule you have 3 atoms of N, and 9 atoms of O, so:

3•14 = 42

16•9 = 144

The whole mass of the molecule is:

56 + 42 + 144 = 242

242/100 = 2.42, so 1% is 2.42

56/2.42 = 23.14%
