Answer:
atoms tend to react in order to gain 8 valence electrons
Explanation:
The octet rule describes the tendency of atoms of elements to react in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell. This is because having eight valence electrons confers stability to the atoms of these elements in the compounds they form.
The octet rule only does not apply to the transition elements or the inner transition elements as only the s and p electrons are involved. the electronic configuration in atoms having an octet is s²p⁶.
For example, sodium atom has one valence electron in its valence shell but a complete octet in the inner shell; it will react with chlorine atom which has seven valence electrons to form a stable compound, sodium chloride by donating its one valence electron in order to have an octet. Similarly, the chlorine atom will then have an octet by accepting the one electron from sodium atom.
Answer: Butane will effuse more quickly because it has a smaller molar mass
Explanation:
Molar mass of C4H10 = 58.123 g/mole
Molar mass of I2 = 253.808 g/mole
Options found from another source are:
a. oxygen. b. glucose. c. energy stored as ATP. d. carbon dioxide and water
Answer:
c energy stored as ATP
Explanation:
Cellular respiration converts glucose into energy in the form of ATP (c). The answer cannot be oxygen (a), because this is required for this process as a final electron acceptor. In terms of photosynthesis, oxygen is released as a by-product. The answer cannot be glucose (b) because that is our starting point for respiration, and what is synthesised during photosynthesis. The answer cannot be (d) as carbon dioxide and water are released by cellular respiration, and required by photosynthesis
The central vacuole stores materials, wastes, and helps give the plant structure and support.
Hope this helps!
