Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an element has incompletely filled valence or outermost shell then that atom is most likely to undergo a chemical reaction in order to attain stability.

For example, sodium has atomic number 11 and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 1. So, to attain stability sodium will readily loose 1 electron. Hence, it will become reactive in nature to attain stability.

Whereas argon has atomic number 18 and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 8. Therefore, its valence shell is completely filled so, it will not react easily.

Hence, we can conclude that family of group 18 on the periodic table is least likely to enter into chemical reactions.

Consider two different ions. The anion has a valence of -2. The cation has a valence of +2. The two ions are separated by a dist

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Force of attraction = 35.96 $\times 10^{27}$ N

Explanation:

Given: charge on anion = -2

Charge on cation = +2

Distance = 1 nm = $10^{-9}$ m

To calculate: Force of attraction.

Solution: The force of attraction is calculated by using equation,

$F = \dfrac{k \times q_1 q_2}{ \r^2}$ ---(1)

where, q represents the charge and the subscripts 1 and 2 represents cation and anion.

k = $8.99 \times 10^9 \ Nm^{2}C^{-2}$

F = force of attraction

r = distance between ions.

Substituting all the values in the equation (1) the equation becomes

$F = \dfrac{8.99 \times 10^9 \times 2 \times 2}{ \left ( 10^-9 \right )^2 }$

Force of attraction = 35.96 $\times 10^{27}$ N

Elena L [17]

Answer:

1.60x10⁶ billions of g of CO₂

Explanation:

Let's calculate the production of CO₂ by a single human in a day. The molar mass of glucose is 180.156 g/mol and CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol. By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mol of C₆H₁₂O₆ -------------------------- 6 moles of CO₂

Transforming for mass multiplying the number of moles by the molar mass:

180.156 g of C₆H₁₂O₆ ----------------- 264.06 g of CO₂

4.59x10² g ---------------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

180.156x = 121203.54

x = 672.77 g of CO₂ per day per human

So, in a year, 6.50 billion of human produce:

672.77 * 365 * 6.50 billion = 1.60x10⁶ billions of g of CO₂
