Answer:

5. gains two electrons.

Explanation:

In order to determine the most stable monoatomic ion of oxygen, we need to consider the octet rule: atoms will gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.

Oxygen is in the Group 16 in the Periodic Table, so it has 6 valence electrons. Therefore, it will gain two electrons to have the electron configuration of the closest noble gas.

Which of the following elements is the least reactive metal? Sodium, Rubidium, Chlorine, and Magnesium.​
LuckyWell [14K]
First off chlorine is not a metal so you can ignore that one.

Sodium and Rubidium are in group 1 of the periodic table and Magnesium is in group 2.

Group one metals are more reactive than group two because it is harder for the group two metals to lose their 2 valence (outer most) electrons.

As you go down group 1 there is an increase in the reactivity this is because as you go down there is an increase in the atomic radius which leads to more shielding. This weakens the electrostatic forces of attraction making it easier to lose the outermost electrons, therefore they are more reactive.

From the given reactions, which process represents the bond dissociation?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

The correct option is: Br₂--------->2 Br(g)

Explanation:

Bond dissociation is a process in which energy is applied to break a chemical bond between the atoms of a molecule to give free atoms.

In the given reaction: Br₂-------->2 Br(g)

The covalent bond in Br₂ molecule dissociates to give two moles of bromine atoms. Therefore, it is a bond dissociation reaction.
