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.

Predict the sign of ΔSsys for each process: (b) A solid explosive converts to a gas.
Goryan [66]

The sign of ΔSsys for a solid explosive converts to a gas is positive.

The term used for the measurement of randomness and disorderliness in a system is known as Entropy (S). ΔS calculates the change in entropy and it is positive when entropy increase and negative when entropy decreases.

Entropy increases when heat is added to the system. Addition of heat increases the randomness of the molecules and hence the entropy increases.

When a solid explosive converts to a gas the randomness increases. Explosive causes heat and the solid is converted into gas. The randomness of molecules is maximum in gases thus the entropy increases. The sign of ΔS is positive for this process.

54:63 ratio simplest form?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The fraction is 6/7

Explanation:

6/7 is the simplified fraction for 54/63 by using the GCD or HCF method. Thus, 6/7 is the simplified fraction for 54/63 by using the prime factorization method.

Hope this helps!!!
