Answer:

A

Explanation:

The answer is A, when you drawing the electron diagrams for each element you should draw all the electron for given element.

In the example of sodium and chlorine:

Sodium : 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s1

Chlorine: 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2 3p5

All the electron on the 1 and 2 levels will not be used to this representation because they will not leave the valence band. Only the electrons in the 3 level will interact in this example.

Remember that the sodium will lose an electron and become an cation. This happens because all the element will look for a stable form with the last band having 8 electron.

The chlorine will receive an electron, so the last band will have 8 electron.

Stells [14]

Answer: The bubbles produced are most likely due to oxygen.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a phenomenon in which green plants containing chlorophyll use sunlight as a source of energy to convert carbon dioxide and water to form glucose and oxygen.

The balanced chemical reaction for photosynthesis is:

6CO_2+6H_2O\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2

Thus the bubbles produced are most likely due to oxygen.

How many atoms are in 766.3 grams of Li?
34kurt

1 mol of any substance is made of 6.022 x 10²³ units, these units could be atoms making up elements or molecules making up a compound.

In this case. 1 mol of Li is made of 6.022 x 10²³ atoms of Li

The molar mass of Li is 6.94 g/mol

Therefore mass of 1 mol of Li is 6.94 g

In 6.94 g of Li there are - 6.022 x 10²³ atoms

Then in 766.3 g of Li there are - 6.022 x 10²³ atoms / 6.94 g x 766.3 g = 665 x 10²³

There are 6.65 x 10^25 atoms of Li
