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.

A beaker containing 6.32 moles of PBr3, contains___
NISA [10]

Answer:

3.8 x 10²⁴molecules

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles  = 6.32moles

Unknown:

Number of molecules  = ?

Solution:

The number of moles can be used to derive the number of molecules found within a substance.

Now,

       1 mole of substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

     6.32 mole of PBr₃ will contain 6.32 x 6.02 x 10²³ = 3.8 x 10²⁴molecules

Write the net ionic equation for the equilibrium that is established when potassium hypochlorite is dissolved in water.
oee [108]
Potassium hypochlorite when dissolved in water would dissociate into ions namely the potassium ions and the hypochlorite ions. Furthermore, hypochlorite ions would interact with water molecules and would decompose further. The dissociation reactions are as follows:

KClO <=> K+ + ClO-
ClO- + H2O <=> HOCl + OH-

Adding the two reactions, would give

KClO + ClO- + H2O = K+ + HOCl + OH- + ClO- 

The two ClO- ions in both sides would cancel giving us the net ionic equation:

KClO + H2O = K+ + HOCl + OH-
