Why does sulfur have more than 8 electrons in its valence?

Chemistry

The octet rules says that an atom can only have a maximum of 8 electrons in its valence shell. This applies from non-metals to metalloids to metals. In this case, sulfur can have <span>more than 8 electrons in its valence when it acquires a larger state specifically in an ionic state. For example SO4 2- where the 2- adds to the number of valence electrons</span>

klio [65]

Answer:PH2=0.994atm, mass of zinc=0.606g

Explanation:

Equation for the reaction is written as;

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) - ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)

V= 240ml = 0.240L

T= 30.8oC = 303.8K

Ptotal= 1.036atm

Pwater = 32mmHg at 30oC = 0.042atm

Therefore

PH2 = Ptotal - Pwater

= 1.036-0.042atm

=0.994atm

But PV= nRT

n = PV/RT

= 0.994x0.240/0.0821x303.8

= 0.24/24.94

=0.009324moles

For the grams of zinc

n=mass in grams/molar mass

Mass in grams = no of moles x molar mass

=0.009324x65 = 0.606g

Which statement most completely describes the role of the cell in a single celled organism
Gwar [14]

<span>Many life forms consist of a single cell. As well as simple bacteria, there are more complex organisms, known as protoctists. Unlike bacteria, they have complex internal structures, such as nuclei containing organized strands of genetic material called chromosomes. Most are single-celled, but some form colonies, with each cell, usually remaining self-sufficient.
</span>
Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms whose cells lack a nucleus. A nucleus is a dense are in a cell that contains nucleic acids the chemical instructions that direct the cell's activities.
