What is the octet rule

Chemistry
2 answers:
BlackZzzverrR [31]3 years ago
8 0
The octet rule is that atoms must have 8 valence electrons to have an octet. Usually, when atoms have an octet, they tend not to bond with any other atoms because they are already stable and do not need to bond anymore.

This is a rule that says that atoms tend to combine to complete electrons to 8. And that means that the two atoms tend to combine to complete a shell to 8 electrons. Hope i helped. Have a nice day

Why is a phenol more acidic than a regular alcohol? Group of answer choices
Aleks [24]

Answer:

a.Phenols have the ability to spread out the negative charge that forms.

Explanation:

This happens because of  the aromatic ring the phenols have. When loosing the proton, the anion formed have different resonance isomers due to the double bonds in the aromatic ring. This resonance makes the anion more stable and prevents the reaction going backwards.

On the other hand, regular alcohol doesn't have resonace and the reaction of loosing the proton goes leftward and righward: is in equilibrium.

That equilibrium decreases the acidity of the alcohol.

Water is produced from the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen gas, according to the equation below. What is the excess reactant in
liq [111]

Explanation:

Mole ratio of Oxygen to Hydrogen gas = 1 : 2.

If we use 3.0 moles of oxygen gas, we would need 3.0 * 2 = 6.0 mol of hydrogen gas.

However we only have 4.2 mol of hydrogen. Therefore hydrogen is limiting and oxygen is in excess. (B)

Which of these solutes raises the boiling point of water the most?
sergey [27]

Answer:

D. ionic sodium phosphate (Na3PO4)

Explanation:

Molecule for molecule, the solute that raises the boiling point of water the most is the one that makes the most particles in the solution. Lithium chloride breaks up into two ions (Li+ and Cl-). So does sodium chloride (Na+ and Cl-). Molecular molecules don't break up at all, so sucrose has only 1 particle per molecule. Sodium phosphate makes 4 total particles (3 Na+ ions and 1 PO4^3-). And magnesium bromide would make 3 particles (1 Mg2+ and 2 Br-). So the most is 4.
