Argon chloride, ArCl is least likely to exist.

Argon belongs to the noble gas family. It has an atomic number of 18 and a valence electron configuration: 3s²3p⁶. Since the valence shell is completely filled i.e. it already has an octet configuration, this makes it stable and chemically inert. When approached closely by another element, Cl in this case, the fully filled valence shell of Ar would repel the incoming electron cloud. The only bond that could exist is the extremely weak, long-range Vander-Waals bond between Ar and Cl.

Describe what you know about this chemical formula: 4CO2

Setler79 [48]

Answer:i hope im not too late

Explanation:

4CO2 also known as 4CO2 is a chemical compound occurring as an acidic colorless gas with a density about 53% higher than that of dry air. Carbon dioxide molecules consist of a carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. It occurs naturally in Earth's atmosphere as a trace gas. It also helps trap earths heat inside the earth so i doesnt escape back to outer space.

Which is true about the pH values of a 1.0 M solution of HCl (a strong acid) and a 1.0 M solution of HC2H3O2 (a weak acid)?

Neko [114]

Answer:

C. pH values are different because the $HC_2H_3O_2$ solution partially ionizes and the HCl solution ionizes 100 percent.

Explanation:

Strong acids are the acids which completely ionizes in the solution while weak acids are the acids which ionizes partially in the solution. They exists in equilibrium in the solution with their respective ions.

Thus, strong acids furnish greater concentration of protons as compared to weak acid when same concentration of both types are taken.

<u>Also, pH is the negative of the logarithm of the hydrogen ions. Thus, hydrogen ion concentration for both acids are different and thus pH will be different.</u>
