Answer:

Methane

Explanation:

If you lived in Alaska, the natural gas that you would be able to keep in an outdoor storage tank in winter would be methane. The melting point of methane is -183ºC, while the boiling point is -164ºC. These temperatures are much lower than the average temperatures of Alaska (the lowest temperature ever recorded in Anchorage was −38.9 °C).

Answer:

Methane

Explanation:

The gas that you could keep in an outdoor storage tank in winter in Alaska is Methane.

The reason is the extreme low temperature during the winter. The boiling point of butane is 44 ºF ( -1ºC) and that of propane is a higher -43.6 º F but still within the range of average minimum winter temperature in Alaska (-50 ªF). Therefore we will have condensation in the tanks and not enough gas pressure.

Methane having  a boling point  of  -259 ºF will not condense at the low wintertime temperatures in Alaska.

NO GUESSING!ONLY RIGHT ANSWER
lutik1710 [3]
<h3> <u>ANSWER</u></h3>

2. Neon, only

<h3><u>EXPLANATION</u></h3>

When Na and F combine they form an electron configuration of 2-8. Na electron configuration is 2-8-1 while F is 2-7, so when they form an ionic bond F will gain Na outermost electron to complete its valence shell due to having a higher negativity. Neon has an electron configuration of 2-8 but argon has 2-8-8.

Draw the lewis structure of the hypochlorite ion clo- . include lone pairs
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Solution:- Hypochlorite ion ClO^- has one Cl and one O atom. Cl has 7 valence electrons and O has 6 valence electrons. Since there is one negative charge on the ion,

total valence electrons = 7 + 6 +1 = 14

(note:- if there is negative charge then it is added  and if there is positive charge then it is subtracted while calculating the valence electrons)

Both Cl and O atoms wants to complete their octet and so for this we put a single bond between them. Single bond means two electrons, so the remaining electrons would be 14 - 2 = 12

It means 12 electrons will be placed as lone pair of electrons. To complete the octet, we put 6 dots around each of the atom. Oxygen is more electron negative than Cl, so we show the -1 charge for oxygen.
