Answer:

Two electrons

Explanation:

According to the octet rule, atoms must bond to each other, sharing electrons among themselves in an attempt to complete their valence shell (last layer of the electrosphere). In other words, an atom becomes stable when it has 8 electrons in its valence shell.

Oxygen atoms have six electrons in their valence shell, so to achieve the stability suggested by the octet rule (eight electrons), these atoms share two electrons, forming one oxygen gas (O₂) molecule.

Ana drives at a speed of 175m/s. she recorded a distance of 2km. Find the time.
pantera1 [17]

The time it took her to drive 2 km is 11.43 seconds, because sonverting kilometers to meters, it is 1000 meters to every kilometer, and she travels 2 kilometers, which is two-thousand meters. Then to find the time you need to divide the time by the speed, and with that you get 11.4285714286, or 11.43 seconds.

- Standard state refers to
yulyashka [42]

Answer: The standard state refers to 1 atm and 25^{o}C.

Explanation:

It is known that a chemical/substance can either be present in a solid, liquid or gaseous state.

So, when the phase of a substance like solid, liquid or gas is present at 1 atmosphere pressure and at a temperature of 25^{o}C then it known as standard state of substance.

Thus, we can conclude that standard state refers to 1 atm and 25^{o}C.

Does the identity of an atom change if we add or subtract electrons or neutrons? Explain.
AURORKA [14]
Adding or removing neutrons from the nucleus are how isotopes are created. Protons carry a positive electrical charge and they alone determine the charge of the nucleus. Adding or removing protons from the nucleus changes the charge of the nucleus and changes that atom's atomic number.
