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

Chemistry

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.

damaskus [11]

Answer: Physical change : tearing of paper, fixing of wtaer

Chemical change:  rusting of iron ,  electrolysis of water​, Rancidification

Explanation:

Physical change is a change in which there is no rearrangement of atoms and thus no new substance is formed. There is only change in physical state of the substance.

Example:  tearing of paper, fixing of wtaer

Chemical change is a change in which there is rearrangement of atoms and thus new substance is formed. There may or may not be a change in physical state.

Example: rusting of iron ,  electrolysis of water​, Rancidification
