Answer:

The answer to your question is: The second option.

Explanation:

Atoms are stable when they gain or lose electrons to have 8 electrons.

They have one valence electron.  Noble gases have 8 electrons, not one, If they would have 1 electron they would be extremely reactive.

They have eight valence electrons. This is the right answer, noble gases have 8 electrons that is why they are unreactive.

They have seven valence electrons.  If noble gases would have 7 electrons, they would be very reactive.

They have two valence electrons. This option is incorrect, elements that have 2 electrons are reactive like Calcium, Magnesium, etc.

answer= 0.912 L or 912 mL

M(KClO3) =  122.55 g/mol

3.00 g KClO3 * 1  mol/122.55 g = 3.00/122.55 mol =0.02449 mol                

                          2KCIO3(s)=2KCI(s) + 3O2(g)

from reaction      2 mol                         3 mol

given                   0.02449 mol              x

x = 0.02449*3/2 =0.03673 mol O2

T = 24 + 273.15 = 297.15 K

PV = nRT

V= nRT/P = (0.03673 mol*0.082057 L*atm/K*mol*297.15 K)/0.982 atm =

= 0.912 L or 912 mL

How many electrons does a single oxygen gain or lose in the following reaction?
REY [17]

Answer:

it gains 2 electrons

Explanation:

atoms want to be more stable, for oxygen it's number is 8, 2 less than the stable ring of 10. and hydrogen has a single electron, 1 less than the stable ring of 2. so oxygen takes 2 electrons 2 make it stable and hydrogen becomes attatched to the oxygen atom to form a covalent bond

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Diatomic molecules consist of two atoms bonded together. In contrast, monatomic elements consist of single atoms (e.g., Ar, He). Many compounds are diatomic, such as HCl, NaCl, and KBr. Diatomic compounds consist of two different elements. There are seven pure elements that form diatomic molecules.
