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.

Question 1: Gases diffuse easily through these types of solids
nexus9112 [7]

Q1: Gases diffuse easily through amorphous or porous solids.

Q2:All changes in phase are called change in state of matter.

Answer:

Explanation:

Gases diffuse easily through amorphous or porous solids. Usually solids are densely packed with no space. But porous solids can help in diffuse gas into them. Due to the vacancy present in these solids, gas can easily diffuse through these types of solids.

Similarly, the phase changes lead to change in the state of matter. As the basic of change in phase leads to change in its state from solid to liquid or from liquid to gas or vice versa. So change in state of matter will occur in any change in phase.
