Answer:

Neon is the least likely to undergo chemical reaction.

Explanation:

The other elements given in the option do not have 8 electrons in their outermost shell, so they will be quite willing to undergo chemical reactions in order to become stable.

Classify matter as elements mixtures and compounds

Goryan [66]

Answer:

An element contains just one type of atom. A compound contains two or more different atoms joined together. A mixture contains two or more different substances that are only physically joined together, not chemically. A mixture can contain both elements and compounds.

Compare the solubility of olive oil and acetic acid in water. Why is one substance more soluble than the other?

Lilit [14]

Acetic acid is soluble in water, while olive oil is insoluble in water. like water, acetic acid is polar. olive oil is nonpolar, so it is not soluble in water.

Hope this helps you :)

In one compound of lead and sulfur, there are 6.46 g of lead

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Lead to Sulfur = 2 : 1

Explanation:

Given

Represent lead with L and Sulfur with S

L1 = 6.46g for S1 = 1 g

L2= 3.23g for S2 = 1 g

Required

Determine the simple whole number ratio of L to S

Divide L1 by L2

L = L1/L2

L = 6.46g/3.23g

L = 2

Divide S1 by S2

S = 1g/1g

S = 1

Represent L and S as a ratio:

L : S = 2 : 1

Hence, the required ratio of Lead to Sulfur is 2 to 1

What word or two-word phrase best describes the shape of the fluoroform molecule?

Vlad [161]

Answer : The shape of the fluoroform molecule is Tetrahedral.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the Hybridization of the molecule by formula,

$\text{Number of electrons} = \frac{1}{2}[V+H-C+A]$

where,

V = Number of valence shell electron in central atom

H = Number of neighboring monovalent atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

The central atom in this molecule is Carbon, it has 4 electrons in their valence shell.

The neighboring monovalent atoms are one Hydrogen atom and three Fluorine atom.

There is no charge of cation and anion on the given molecule.

V = 4

H = 1 Hydrogen atom + 3 fluorine atom = 4

C = 0

A = 0

By the above hybridization formula, we get

$\text{Number of electrons}= \frac{1}{2}[4+4-0+0]$ = 4

The number of electron pair = 4

The number of lone pair = 0

The number of electrons is 4, this means that the hybridization is $sp^{3}$ and the geometry of the molecule is Tetrahedral.

The geometry of the molecule is shown below.
