Aluminum oxide has a formula of Al</span>₂O₃,<span> which means for every mole of aluminum used, 1.5 moles of oxygen is required (3/2 = 1.5).
Given 42.5 g of aluminum divided by its atomic mass (26.9815385) gives 1.575 moles of aluminum.
Since it takes 1.5 moles of oxygen per mole of aluminum to make aluminum oxide, you'll need 2.363 moles of oxygen atoms.
Each molecule of oxygen gas has 2 oxygen atoms, so the moles of oxygen gas will be 2.363/2 = 1.1815
Finally, you need to calculate the volume of </span>1.1815 <span>moles of oxygen gas.
1 mole of gas at STP occupies 22.7 liters of volume. Therefore,
1.1815 * 22.7 = </span>26.8 liters <span>of oxygen gas.

Answer/Explanation: Two atoms of oxygen form the basic oxygen molecule--the oxygen we breathe that is essential to life. The third oxygen atom can detach from the ozone molecule, and re-attach to molecules of other substances, thereby altering their chemical composition.

Answer:
When the two atoms move towards each other a compound is formed by sharing electron pairs supplied by each of the atoms to enable them have the stable 8 (octet) valency electrons in their outermost shell
Explanation:
The electronic configuration of the given element can be written as follows;
1s²2s²2p⁴
The given electronic configuration is equivalent to that of oxygen, therefore, we have;
The number of electrons in the valence shell = 2 + 4 = 6 electrons
Therefore, each atom requires 2 electrons to complete its 8 (octet) electrons in the outermost shell
When the two atoms move towards each other, they react and combine to form a compound by sharing 4 electrons, 2 from each atom, such that each atom can have an extra 2 electrons in its outermost orbit in the newly formed compound and the stable octet configuration is attained by each of the atoms in the newly formed compound.
