Atoms have a tendency to complete their outer energy level. This is known as octet rule. That is because octet refers to 8 valence electrons, making a element stable in its outer shell.

Answer : Option C) The Octet Rule

Explanation : Atoms have a tendency to complete their outer energy level. This is known as Octet Rule.

The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb which reflects the observation, that atoms of main-group elements tends to combine in such a way that each atom gets eight electrons in its valence shell, which gives it the same electron configuration as that of a noble gas.

In short, the tendency of an atom to fill its valence shell and attain a stable state it acquires or donates the electron is called as octet rule.

In which pair do both compounds exhibit predominantly ionic bonding? A) KCl and CO2 B) SO2 and BaF2 C) F2 and N2O D) N2O3 and Rb
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

E) NaF and SrO

Explanation:

The ionic bonding occurs between atoms with a great difference in electronegativity. This usually happens between a metal and a non-metal.

<em>In which pair do both compounds exhibit predominantly ionic bonding? </em>

A) KCl and CO₂. NO. C and O are non-metals and present covalent bonding.

B) SO₂ and BaF₂. NO. S and O are non-metals and present covalent bonding.

C) F₂ and N₂O. NO. Both compounds contain non-metals and present covalent bonding.

D) N₂O₃ and Rb₂O. NO. N and O are non-metals and present covalent bonding.

E) NaF and SrO. YES. Na and Sr are metals while F and O are non-metals.

Under laboratory conditions of 25.0 degrees C and 99.5 kPa, what is the maximum number of liters of ammonia that could be produc
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Volume of ammonia 3 L.

Explanation:

Given data:

Temperature = 25°C ( 25+273= 298 k)

Pressure = 99.5 kpa (99.5/101 = 0.98 atm)

Volume of nitrogen = 1.50 L

Volume of ammonia = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

Moles of nitrogen:

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = 0.98 atm × 1.50 L / 0.0821 atm. L/mol. K × 298 K

n = 1.47 /24.5 /mol

n = 0.06 mol

Now we will compare the moles of nitrogen with ammonia.

                         N₂        :        NH₃

                          1          :          2

                           0.06   :        2×0.06 = 0.12 mol

Volume of ammonia:

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 0.12 mol× 0.0821 atm. L/mol. K × 298 K/  0.98 atm

V = 2.9 atm. L /0.98 atm

V = 3 L
