<h2>Answer </h2>

Option A - Atoms gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full valence shell.

<u>Explanation</u>

The octet rule is best explained as atoms gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full valence shell complete or to attain electronic configuration of noble gases. The main objective to do this is to attain stability.  The octet rule is a rule that shows the view that atoms of elements serve to join like that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, providing it the same electron configuration as a noble gas.

If I had 3.50 x 10 24molecules of Cl2 gas, how many grams is this?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

412 g Cl₂

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Moles
  • Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] 3.50 × 10²⁴ molecules Cl₂

[Solve] grams Cl₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

[PT] Molar Mass of Cl - 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass of Cl₂ - 2(35.45) = 70.9 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                       \displaystyle 3.50 \cdot 10^{24} \ molecules \ Cl_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ Cl_2}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ Cl_2})(\frac{70.9 \ g \ Cl_2}{1 \ mol \ Cl_2})
  2. [DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]:                                                           \displaystyle 412.072 \ g \ Cl_2

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

412.072 g Cl₂ ≈ 412 g Cl₂

What type of plate boundary would form where there is a mountain range present, known earthquake activity, but no trenches prese
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

continental-continental convergent boundary

Explanation:

When two continental plates converge, they smash together and create mountains. The amazing Himalaya Mountains are the result of this type of convergent plate boundary. The Appalachian Mountains resulted from ancient convergence when Pangaea came together.

What is the atomic mass of an atom that has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons? A) 6 B) 8 C) + 1 D) 12 E) 18
Oksana_A [137]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic mass of an atom is defined as the sum of number of neutrons and number of protons that are present in an atom. It is represented as 'A'.

Atomic number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

We are given:

Number of protons = 6

Number of neutrons = 6

Number of electrons = 6

Atomic mass = 6 + 6 = 12

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
