Answer:

only chlorine can expand its octet.

Explanation:

An atom can expand its octet is it has empty d orbital

the electronic configuration of given elements will be:

B : 1s2 2s2 2p1 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

O :1s2 2s2 2p4 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

F : 1s2 2s2 2p5 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

Cl :1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 3d0 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

Out of given elements only chlorine has empty d orbitals in its valence shell

Thus only chlorine can expand its octet.

A sample of gas at 301 Kelvin and 1.5 atmospheres has a density of 3.90 g/L. What is the molar mass of this gas? Show all of the
meriva
PV = nRTP is pressure, V is volume in L, n is number of moles, R is the gas constant,and T is temperature in K

(1.5 atm)(1 L) = (n)(.08206)(301K)

n = .06 moles in one liter

If there are 3.9 grams in .06 moles then

1/.06 x 3.9 = 64.2 grams per mol
