Answer:

When two atoms move towards each other a reaction occurs. In this case this element would share their electrons and have the full 8 valence electrons. This would create a covalent bond, where they share their valence electrons and their outer shells would overlap.

Explanation:

This answer is based off of my teachers rubric but the grading criteria differs from teacher to teacher. Hope this helps.

Good Luck!!

Answer:

When the two atoms move towards each other a compound is formed by sharing electron pairs supplied by each of the atoms to enable them have the stable 8 (octet) valency electrons in their outermost shell

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of the given element can be written as follows;

1s²2s²2p⁴

The given electronic configuration is equivalent to that of oxygen, therefore, we have;

The number of electrons in the valence shell = 2 + 4 = 6 electrons

Therefore, each atom requires 2 electrons to complete its 8 (octet) electrons in the outermost shell

When the two atoms move towards each other, they react and combine to form a compound by sharing 4 electrons, 2 from each atom, such that each atom can have an extra 2 electrons in its outermost orbit in the newly formed compound and the stable octet configuration is attained by each of the atoms in the newly formed compound.

What is the maximum mass of ethyl alcohol you could boil with 1000 j of heat, starting from 22 ∘c?
kramer

solution:

1000 = m*2400*(78-22) + m*8.79*10^5

1000= 134400m + 879000m

1000= 1030200m

m = 1000/1013400

m= 1013.4 grams

the final answer is 0.9706 grams

What is the force needed to accelerate a sled with a mass of 2 kg at a rate of 3.0/s²
frutty [35]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option A</h3>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

<h3>Force = mass × acceleration</h3>

From the question

mass = 2 kg

acceleration = 3 m/s²

We have

Force = 2 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>6.0 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
