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

How do solve for density?
Pachacha [2.7K]
Density(D) is defined as Mass(M) divided by Volume(V).

The formula for Density is:

D = M / V.

Another way to remember the formula for Density is to remember "Mass per unit of volume".

I hope this helps!

<h2>Answer and Explanation </h2>

The body of water means the occurrence of water on earth’s surface. Examples are oceans,  lakes,  seas, ponds, and pools. The major bodies of water are:

  • Pacific ocean is the biggest and deepest of Earth's oceanic divisions. It stretches from the Arctic Ocean in the direction to the Southern Ocean.
  • Atlantic ocean is another giant of the world's oceans.  It includes nearly 20 percent of the Earth's exterior and nearly 29 percent of its water covering space.

How can I balance this equation? ____ KClO3 ---&gt; ____ KCl + ____ O2
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
__ KClO₃ → __ KCl + __ O₂

Left Side:
1 K
1 Cl
3 O

Right Side:
1 K
1 Cl
2 O

Since the least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6, we need to multiply the compound with 2 oxygen by 3 and the compound with 3 oxygen by 2.

This gives us 2KClO₃ → __ KCl + 3O₂.

However, this equation is still not balanced.

Left Side:
2 K
2 Cl
6 O

Right Side:
1 K
1 Cl
6 O

In order to balance the K and Cl, we need to multiply the KCl compound on the right side by 2.

2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

Inga [223]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The three components of air are all <span>classified as pure substances since they are not chemically bonded so they can be separated by certain processes and be present as a pure substance. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Two steps in a synthesis of the analgesic ibuprofen include a carbonyl condensation reaction, followed by an alkylation reaction
Tresset [83]
Ibuprofen is synthesized by reacting ethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)acetate with base, the base abstracts the acidic proton and enolate is formed which on reaction with diethyl carbonate generates diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)malonate (A). diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)malonate on treatment with Base again looses the acidic proton and forms enolate. The enolate with treatment with Methyl Iodide yields diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-2-methylmalonate (B). diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-2-methylmalonate on hydrolysis give Ibuprofen.
