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

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom’s affinity for electrons. Which of the following statements is true? Electronegativity
jekas [21]

Answer: Electronegativity increases as the size of an atom decrease.

Explanation: Electronegativity is the measure of the ability of an atom in a bond to attract electrons to itself.

Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.

Towards the left of the table, valence shells are less than half full, so these atoms (metals) tend

to lose electrons and have low electronegativity. Towards the right of the table, valence shells are more than half full, so these atoms (nonmetals) tend to gain electrons and have high electronegativity.

Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, and so does the distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. The increased distance and the increased shielding weaken the nuclear attraction, and so an atom can’t attract electrons as strongly.

What is the volume (in cubic inches) of 3.6 lb of titanium? The density of titanium is 4.51 g/cm3
SashulF [63]
Answer: 362,07 cm3
To answer this question you need to convert the lb into gram first. One lb equal to 453.592g, so: 3.6lb x 453.592gram/lb= 1632.9312gram. 
Now we have mass(1632.9312g), density (4.51g/cm3). Volume is mass divided by density. The equation would be:

Volume= mass/density
Volume = 1632.9312gram / (4.51g/cm3)= 362,07 cm3

Compare and contrast solids liquids and gases in terms of volume shape compessibility and energy
tangare [24]

Answer:

solid has definite shape and volume.

liquid do not have definite shape but have definite volume.

gas do not have definite shape and definite volume.

solid have lowest compressibility out of three, liquid have more compressibility than solid but less than gases. gases have the highest compressibility out of three. Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
