Answer:
2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons
Explanation:
An atom of a certain element reacts with the atoms of other elements in order to fullfill its outermost shell (called valence shell).
We notice the following:
- The elements in Group 1 (which are metals) have only 1 electron in their valence shell
- The elements in Group 17 (which are non-metals) have 1 vacancy (lack of electron) in their valence shell
This means that in order for both an atom of group 1 and an atom of group 17 to fullfill the valence shell, they have to:
- The atom in group 1 has to give away its only electron of the valence shell
- The atom in group 17 has to gain one electron in order to fullfill the shell
Therefore, the correct option is
2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons
a. mol O₂=0.5
b. volume O₂ = 25 cm³
c. i. the total volume of the two reactants = 75 cm³
c. ii. the volume of nitrogen dioxide formed = 50 cm³
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Reaction
2NO(gas) + O₂(gas) ⇒ 2NO₂ (gas)
a.
mol NO = 1
From the equation, mol ratio NO : O₂ = 2 : 1, so mol O₂ :

b.
From Avogadro's hypothesis, at the same temperature and pressure, the ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles
Because mol ratio NO : O₂ = 2 : 1, so volume O₂ :

c.
i. total volume of reactants : 25 cm³+ 50 cm³=75 cm³
ii. the volume of nitrogen dioxide formed :
mol ratio NO : NO₂ = 2 : 2, so volume NO₂ = volume NO = 50 cm³
Hmm... I'm unsure but its either B or D.
