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.

Please someone solve this and tell me how you solve it
lianna [129]

Answer:

Supersaturated.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to this solubility chart, we infer that for NH3, the solubility starts at 90 grams of NH3 that are soluble in 100 g of water at 0 °C and ends in about 8 g in 100 g of water at 100 °C for a saturated solution.

However, since we are asked for the solubility of NH3 at 20 °C, we can see that, according to the table and the curve for NH3, about 52 g of NH3 are soluble in 100 g of water; thus, for the given 60 g of NH3, we will say that 8 grams will remain undissolved, and therefore, this solution will be supersaturated.

Regards!

Part 1 Designing an Investigation
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The experimental plan is to measure the values of the dependent variable, which is the temperature of the pizza after it is cooled in each of the heat (temperature) environments, which is the dependent variable, for a given equal period of time, which is the control

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The temperature of the pizza = 400°F

The temperature of the freezer = 0°F

The temperature of the refrigerator = 40°F

The temperature of the countertop = 78°F

Given that the independent variable = The heat to which the hot pizza is subjected

The dependent variable = The temperature to which the pizza cools down

The experiment plan includes;

1) Place the pizza which is at 400°F in each of the different heat environment, which are, the freezer, the fridge, and the counter top, for the same period of time and record the final temperature of the pizza

2) The option that gives the lowest final temperature within the same time frame is the option that will let the pizza cool down fastest.
