Neon has 8 electrons in its outer shell. Does it need to bond? Why or why not?

Neon does not need to bond.

An atom will form a bond because it wants to have the noble gas configuration. Atoms that have the noble gas configuration have a full outer shell  of electrons. Neon is in period 2 of the periodic table meaning it's outer shell holds a maximum of eight electrons. The electronic configuration of neon is 1s^22s^22p^6 or simply 2,8. The second energy level is full in neon, which is a stable configuration. Because neon has a full and stable outer shell, it does not need to bond .

How many moles of O2 are in 53 L of O2 at STP?<br> A) 2.4<br> B) 0.45<br> C) 1.65<br> D) 1187
Zolol [24]
For Any gas:
P V = n R T
where:
P : pressure
V : volume
n : number of moles
R : gas constant
T : absolute temperature in kelvin
provided that:
V = 53 L
S.T.P means standard temperature and pressure at which pressure is 1 atm and temperature is 273 K 
R = 0.08205 atm.L /mol.K
So:
n = \frac{P.V}{R.T} = \frac{1atm  * 53 L}{0.08205 * 273 K}
= 2.4 moles
The correct answer is A) 2.4

Hydrocarbons consisting of short carbon chains are ________.
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Volatility is defined as the ability of a substance to readily evaporate into the atmosphere.

A small chain of hydrocarbon will have molecules in a small surface area. Moreover, a small chain hydrocarbon will have lesser dispersion forces due to which molecules are able to evaporate into the atmosphere easily.

Short carbon chain hydrocarbon will also be less viscous in nature.

Therefore, hydrocarbons consisting of short carbon chains are more volatile than hydrocarbons with longer chains.

What gives yeast cells what it needed to reproduce and grow?
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Yeasts reproduce asexually by a process called budding (see Figure 8.2. 1 and Figure 8.2. 6). A bud is formed on the outer surface of the parent cell as the nucleus divides.

How to balance equations for reduction/oxidation reaction?
KATRIN_1 [288]

The first step in balancing any redox reaction is determining whether or not it is even an oxidation-reduction reaction, which requires that species exhibits changing oxidation statesduring the reaction. To maintain charge neutrality in the sample, the redox reaction will entail both a reduction component and an oxidation components and is often separated into independent two hypothetical <span>half-reactions </span>to aid in understanding the reaction. This requires identifying which element is oxidized and which element is reduced. For example, consider this reaction:

<span><span><span>Cu(s)+2A<span>g+</span>(aq)→C<span>u<span>2+</span></span>(aq)+2Ag(s)</span>(1)</span><span>(1)<span>Cu(s)+2A<span>g+</span>(aq)→C<span>u<span>2+</span></span>(aq)+2Ag(s)</span></span></span>

The first step in determining whether the reaction is a redox reaction is to splitting the equation into two hypothetical half-reactions. Let's start with the half-reaction involving the copper atoms:

<span><span><span>Cu(s)→C<span>u<span>2+</span></span>(aq)</span>(2a)</span><span>(2a)<span>Cu(s)→C<span>u<span>2+</span></span>(aq)</span></span></span>

The oxidation state of copper on the left side is 0 because it is an element on its own. The oxidation state of copper on the right hand side of the equation is +2. The copper in this half-reaction is oxidized as the oxidation states increases from 0 in Cu to +2 in Cu2+. Now consider the silver atoms

<span><span><span>2A<span>g+</span>(aq)→2Ag(s)</span>(2b)</span><span>(2b)<span>2A<span>g+</span>(aq)→2Ag(s)</span></span></span>

In this half-reaction, the oxidation state of silver on the left side is a +1. The oxidation state of silver on the right is 0 because it is an element on its own. Because the oxidation state of silver decreases from +1 to 0, this is the reduction half-reaction.

Consequently, this reaction is a redox reaction as both reduction and oxidation half-reactions occur (via the transfer of electrons, that are not explicitly shown in equations 2). Once confirmed, it often necessary to balance the reaction (the reaction in equation 1 is balanced already though), which can be accomplished in two ways because the reaction could take place in neutral, acidic or basic conditions.
