Answer:

2 electrons does it need to gain to achieve a stable electron configuration

Explanation:

Valance electron:

The electrons which are present in the outer most energy level are known as valance electron. This can be calculated by the group number of the element. Generally the group number is same as the valance electrons of any elements.

Octet rule: Generally all atoms will lose, gain or share electrons to attain 8 valence electrons; the electron configuration of the nearest noble element.

If an atom has 6 valence electrons; to get stable electron configuration of the nearest noble element require 2 electrons.

2 electrons does it need to gain to achieve a stable electron configuration

it would need to gain 2 more for it to achieve a stable configuration

the best way to remember this is the noble gasses all have 8 valence electrons and that they are the most stable elements on the periodic table

If you had 15 molecules of H2 and an unlimited supply of N2, how many
Masja [62]

Answer:

10 molecules of NH₃.

Explanation:

N₂ + 3H₂ --> 2NH₃

As the N₂ supply is unlimited, what we need to do to solve this problem is <u>convert molecules of H₂ into molecules of NH₃</u>. To do so we use the <em>stoichiometric coefficients</em> of the balanced reaction:

  • 15 molecules H₂ * \frac{2moleculesNH_3}{3moleculesH_2} = 10 molecules NH₃

10 NH₃ molecules could be prepared from 15 molecules of H₂ and unlimited N₂.

A gas occupies a volume of 50.0 mL at 100K and 630 mmHg. At what temperature would
rodikova [14]
PV / T = P'V' / T'

V = V'

P / T = P' / T'

P = 630 mmHg
T = 100 K
P' = 1760 mmHg
T' = ?

630 / 100 = 1760 / T'

T' = 1760 / 6,3

T' = 279,36 K

T' ≈ 280 K
