The electron configurations of two unknown elements x and y are shown. X: 1s2 2s2 2p6 Y: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 Which statement is

most likely correct about the two elements? A) They will react because X can give up two electrons B) They will react because X and Y can share two pairs of electrons to become stable C) They will not react because both have a complete outermost shell and are stable D) They will not react because both will give up one electron. to become stable.

Answer:

B) They will react because X and Y can share two pairs of electrons to become stable

Explanation:

The electron configurations of two elements x and y are given :

X: 1s2 2s2 2p6

Y: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

The statement that is true for both the elements is that, they both will react as they both can share two pairs of electrons to become stable.

To become stable the outermost shell or p orbital should have 8 electrons, so element X  can gain 2 atoms to become stable.

Element Y can also react as it can also share two atoms to fulfill its 3p orbital and will stable.

Hence, the correct option is "B".

The boiling point of another member of this homologous series was found to be 309 k. What is the likely molecular formula for th
Sati [7]

Answer:

C5H12

Explanation:

In organic chemistry the boiling point of 309 k is of fifth member of alkane series which Pentane whose molecular mass is 72 g/mol.  Thus, we can say that the  molecular formula of the compound which has boiling point 309 K is C5H12.

What’s the pattern of a Gas and Plasma?!!
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Gas turns into plasma when heat or energy is added to it. The atoms that make up the gas start to lose their electrons and become positively charged ions. The lost electrons are then able to float freely. This process is called ionization..

Calculate the vapor pressure at 25 ?c of hexane above the solution. the vapor pressure of pure hexane at 25 ?c is 151 torr.
Studentka2010 [4]
One of the many ways in order to solve for the vapor pressure of pure components at a given temperature is through the Antoine's equation which is written below,
                                    P = 10^(A - B/C+T)
where A, B, and C are constants and T is the temperature in °C and P is the vapor pressure in mm Hg. 
For hexane,
                             A = 7.01
                             B = 1246.33
                             C = 232.988

Substituting the known values,
                            P = 10^(7.01 - 1246.33/232.988+25)
                             <em> P = 151.199 mm Hg</em>
