Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. How many electrons does an atom of oxygen need to become stable?

Chemistry

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.

Answer:

Explanation:

1 mol of ideal gas at STP occupies 22.4 (or 22.7 depending on the convention being used for STP) liters in volume. I will use 22.4 so 17.88*22.4 = 400.5 L

PLZ HELP!<br><br> How do you think changing the angle of a ramp will affect work done?
kogti [31]

Answer: The steepness of a ramp affects it by making it easier or harder.

Explanation: It's a bit situational. If you were going up a steep ramp with a heavy load, it will increase the work necessary, whereas if you were going down a ramp, it would decrease the work necessary. If you need this simply put, think about biking up and down a hill. It would be easier going down than up.

b. increase in surface area

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Speeding up a chemical reaction

Required

Factors used to speed up reactions

Solution

There are several factors that influence reaction kinetics :  

1. Concentration  

2. Surface area  

3. Temperature  

4. Catalyst  

5. Pressure  

6. Stirring  

Temperature is related to the kinetic energy of the particles. Heat is absorbed causes the particles of matter to move faster so that the reaction can take place faster

The enlarged surface area of the reactants causes more particles to react with other particles.

50 g square block of sulfur can be broken into small pieces or powdered so that more particles come into contact with each other
