Read the false statement. Atoms of elements with one valence electron form anions in order to meet the octet rule. Which answer

choice rewords the false statement so it is true?
a. Atoms of elements with three valence electrons do not form ions because they meet the octet rule.
b. Atoms of elements with five to seven valence electrons form cations in order to meet the octet rule.
c. Atoms of elements with five to seven valence electrons form anions in order to meet the octet rule.
d. Atoms of elements with one valence electron gain seven electrons in order to meet the octet rule.

Answer:

C. Atoms of elements with five to seven valence electrons form anions in order to meet the octet rule.

Explanation:

  • Atoms of elements gain or lose electron(s) to obey the octet rule by forming cations or anions.
  • Atoms with 1 to 3 valence electrons lose electrons to form cations in order to attain a stable configuration.
  • Atoms with 5 to 7 valence electrons gain electron(s) to form anions in order to attain stable configuration.
  • However, atoms with 8 valence electrons do not require to gain or lose electrons since they an octet configuration.
  • Atoms of metallic elements such as those in group 1 and 2 lose electron(s) to form cations while atoms of non-metallic elements such as halogens require to gain electron(s) to form anions so as to obey the octet rule.

Answer:

The correct statement is option C.

Explanation:

Octet rule: In a chemical bond each atom tends to have 8 electrons in their valence shell.

  • Atoms with one to three valence electrons in their valence shell tends to loose their electron to form a cation in order to meet octet rule.
  • Atoms with five to seven valence electrons in their valence shell tends to gain electron to form an anion in order to meet octet rule.

So, for atom with one valence electron gaining 7 electron more will be difficult. but is can easily loose its 1 electron to form a cation.

The correct statement comes out to be:

Atoms of elements with five to seven valence electrons form anions in order to meet the octet rule.

If metal ions in a solution were reduced, what would you expect to see?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Solid metal

Explanation:

The reduced form of metal ions is the metal in elemental state (simple substance). So, if you have a solution with metal ions and they are reduced, you probably will see the deposition of the metal. For example: if you have a solution with sodium ions (Na⁺), and the ions are then reduced, you will see the aparition of a solid phase of metallic sodium (Na(s)), according to the following half-reaction:

Na⁺ + e- → Na(s)

A buffer solution contains 0.479 M NaHCO3 and 0.342 M Na2CO3. Determine the pH change when 0.091 mol HNO3 is added to 1.00 L of
pshichka [43]

Answer:

ΔpH = 0.20

Explanation:

The buffer of HCO₃⁻ + CO₃²⁻ has a pka of 10.2

HCO₃⁻ ⇄ H⁺ + CO₃²⁻

There are 0.479moles of NaHCO₃ and 0.342moles of Na₂CO₃.

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log [Base] / [Acid]

pH = 10.2 + log 0.342mol / 0.479mol

<em>pH = 10.05</em>

NaOH reacts with HCO₃⁻ producing CO₃²⁻, thus:

NaOH + HCO₃⁻ → CO₃²⁻ + H₂O + Na⁺

0.091 moles of NaOH produce the same moles of CO₃²⁻ and consume HCO₃⁻. Moles of these species are:

CO₃²⁻: 0.342mol + 0.091mol: 0.433mol

HCO₃⁻: 0.479mol - 0.091 mol: 0.388mol

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log [Base] / [Acid]

pH = 10.2 + log 0.433mol / 0.388mol

pH = 10.25

That means change of pH, ΔpH is:

ΔpH = 10.25 - 10.05 = <em>0.20</em>

Why do you think the placebo effect works
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The placebo effect is when an improvement of symptoms is observed, despite using a nonactive treatment. It’s believed to occur due to psychological factors like expectations or classical conditioning.

Research has found that the placebo effect can ease things like pain, fatigue, or depression.
