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.

Which compound is a polar molecule and has a linear geometry

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Linear molecule is a molecule in which atoms are deployed in a straight line (under 180° angle). Molecules with an linear electron pair geometries have sp hybridization at the central atom. An example of linear electron pair and molecular geometry are carbon dioxide (O=C=O) and beryllium hydride BeH2.

Assume the recommended single dose of an antihistamine for a child weighing between 18-23 lbs is 0.75 teaspoons (tsp). if 1.00 t

blagie [28]

We are given that 1 teaspoon is equivalent to 5 mL, therefore 0.75 teaspoon is:

0.75 teaspoon * (5 mL / 1 teaspoon) = 3.75 mL

So the mass is density times volume:

mass = (12.5 mg/5 ml) * 3.75 mL
