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 does a change in frequency or amplitude change the sound we hear
suter [353]
<span>Pitch is sometimes defined as the fundamental frequency of a sound wave (i.e. generally, the lowest frequency in a given sound wave). For most practical purposes, this is fine, and pitch and frequency can be thought of as equivalent. On the other hand, for most practical purposes, amplitude can be thought of as volume.However, technically, pitch (and volume) are human perceptions. Thus, our perception of pitch and volume are not solely based on frequency and amplitude respectively, but are based on a combination of both (and even other factors). Frequency overwhelming dictates perceived pitch, but amplitude also does have some small, small effect on our pitch perception, especially when it is very large. For example, a very loud sound can have a different <span>perceived </span>pitch than you would predict from its frequency alone.That all being said, usually these effects are negligible, and pitch can be thought of as equivalent to fundamental frequency.

Consider the following properties: I) The red color of rubies is due to the presence of chromium ions. II) Objects made of silve
quester [9]

Answer:

II) Objects made of silver become tarnished.

Explanation:

Physical properties are the properties which can be observed without changing identity of substance.

Chemical properties are the properties which describe how the substance changes into the different substance completely.

Boiling is an example of physical change in state of the substance. Color is also an example of physical property like boiling point and hence these are constants. The reason of the color is that the chromium ions shows certain colors as the electrons are excited due to absorption of the light. The tarnishing of the silver is an example of the chemical change which occurs due to the reaction of the silver with oxygen. This is also known as corrosion.

What causes hot air to rise, and cool air to sink?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

hot air rises because gases expand as they heat up.When air heats up and expands,its density also increases.The warmer,less dense air effectively floats on top of the colder, dense air below it. This creates a buoyant force that causes warmer air to rise.

cold air sinks because it is heavier as its more dense ( because of closely packed molecules) soits harder for them to move and they absorb less energy. Also, gravity pulls on it more strongly.

Hope it helps :)

What is the equilibrium constant, KC if the reaction is a gas phase reaction? (Ans.: Gas: KC = 0.328 dm3/mol)
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Equilibrium constant Kc = Qc = quotient of reactant(s) and product(s)

Kc = [C]x[D]y..../[A]m[B]n..... = 0.328dm3/mol, where [C]x[D]y is the product and [A]m[B]n is the reactant(Both in gaseous states)

Explanation:

When a mixture of reactants and products of a reaction reaches equilibrium at a given temperature, its reaction quotient always has the same value. This value is called the equilibrium constant (K) of the reaction at that temperature. As for the reaction quotient, when evaluated in terms of concentrations, it is noted as Kc.

That a reaction quotient always assumes the same value at equilibrium can be expressed as:

Qc (at equilibrium) = Kc =[C]x[D]y…/[A]m[B]n…

This equation is a mathematical statement of the law of mass action: When a reaction has attained equilibrium at a given temperature, the reaction quotient for the reaction always has the same value.
