Neon gas consist of individual, unbonded neon atoms due to the stable (octet) configuration, while chlorine exists as diatomic chlorine molecules to gain stability.
<h3>How we define the stability of atoms?</h3>
Stability of any atom will be defined on the basis of the electronic configuration or the number of valence shell electrons they have.
- Chlorine atom have seven electrons on the outermost shell of the atom and will able to gain 1 electron to get octet configuration, that's why present in the diatomic form.
- Neon is a noble gas as they have stable configuration due to presence of 8 electrons in the valence shell, and due to stability it will not easily react with any other gas and present in single atomic form.
Hence due to stable configuration of neon it is present in the unbonded form.

<h3>What is the oxidation number of oxygen in H2O?</h3>
Oxygen almost always has an oxidation number of -2, except in peroxides (H 2 O 2) where it is -1 and in compounds with fluorine (OF 2) where it is +2. Hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1 when combined with non-metals, but it has an oxidation number of -1 when combined with metals.

Answer:
54 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of carbon = 18 g
Mass of CO₂ = 72 g
Mass of oxygen needed = ?
Solution:
Chemical reaction:
C + O₂ → CO₂
according to law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.
This law was given by French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
In given photosynthesis reaction:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.
In a similar way,
C + O₂ → CO₂
18 g + X = 72
X = 72 -18
X = 54 g
Thus, 54 g of O₂ are required.
