Answer:

The second option

Explanation:

The octet rule states that elements tend to bond in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence (outermost) shell, except for the first level which is complete with 2 electrons.

The first picture shows an atom with only 1 electron in its valence shell, the second picture 5 electrons, the third pictures 8 electrons and the fourth picture 2 electrons. The first and last cases are more likely to lose their valence electrons to form bonds than share them into a covalent bond (because they are few). The third case has the octet rule already satisfied, so is not likely to neither lose/receive nor share its electrons. The atom of the second case can share 3 electrons to complete the octet rule.

Que unidad de medida se utiliza para expresar la capacidad o volumen de un objeto? Da un ejemplo

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

<em>Explicado a continuación</em>

Explanation:

Hay una pequeña diferencia conceptual entre la capacidad y el volumen de un objeto, a saber:

El volumen hace referencia al espacio que ocupa un objeto, mientras que la capacidad hace referencia al espacio que este contiene. Calcular el volumen de un cuerpo es medir cuánto ocupa mientras que calcular su capacidad es medir cuánto cabe en él.

En la práctica, ambos conceptos son usados indistintamente, ya que tienen unidades equivalentes.

El volumen tiene unidades de longitud al cubo, como por ejemplo:

$m^3,\ cm^3\ ,dm^3,\ pie^3\ , pulg^3$
