A neutral atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 would most likely form a bond with an atom having the configuration

Chemistry
1 answer:
Fittoniya [83]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The configuration of the atom would be 2-8-2.

Explanation:

Any atom of an element combines with other element to complete its octet and become stable.

The electron configuration of the given atom is 2-8-6. That means the atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell. To become stable the atom should have 8 electrons in its outermost shell. The given atom has 6 electrons so it either lose 6 electrons or gain 2 electrons to complete its octet.

But we know the atom having 5,6,7 electrons in its outermost shell they do not lose, they gain either 3 or 2 or 1 electrons to complete its octet.

So we say that atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 bond with the atom having electron configuration 2-8-2.

When molten candle wax solidifies is that a chemical reaction or not?l
andrey2020 [161]

Yes, when molten candle wax solidifies it is a chemical reaction

<u>Explanation:</u>

Basically Wax is crystalline so once the candle light melts it freezes taking back the solid state to the room temperature.

When the room temperature is below the freezing point, the liquid candle wax, turns into solid state again, therefore this process is called solidification. The process of freezing or solidification is a process when an object turns liquid and freezes back to solid state.

Indeed, Yes, when molten candle wax solidifies it is a chemical reaction

Identify each of the following solids as molecular, ionic, or atomic.
Kisachek [45]

Answer :

(A) Br₂ (s) : molecular solids

(B) AgCl (s) : ionic solids

(C) S (s) : atomic solids

(D) CH₄ (s) : molecular solids

Explanation :

Molecular solids : It is defined as the solids in which they are held together by covalent forces, dipole interactions as attractive forces etc.

Ionic solids : It is defined as the solids in which the atoms composed with oppositely charged ions.

Atomic solids : It is defined as the solids in which the molecules are held together by covalent forces and also includes pure substance.

(A) Br₂ (s)

It is molecular solids because they are held together by covalent forces.

(B) AgCl (s)

It is ionic solids because in this atoms composed with oppositely charged ions.

(C) S (s)

It is atomic solids because it is a pure substance.

(D) CH₄ (s)

It is molecular solids because they are held together by covalent forces.
