To fulfill the octet rule, electron sharing leads to how many electrons around each atom?

2 answers:

6 0

An octet is a completed valence electron shell which means it has 8 electrons (2 in the s orbital and 6 in the p orbital). I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Explanation:

In order to follow octet rule, there must be 2, 8, 18, 32 etc electrons in the shells of an atom.

For example, helium has 2 electrons therefore, its octet is complete. Whereas chlorine has 17 electrons, that is, its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7. So, its octet is incomplete and hence it is not stable.

This means there must be eight electrons around each atom to fulfill the octet rule.

Ans 1. Both

Ans 2. Once inside plants, carbon moves through food chains, where organisms become nutrients including herbivores, carnivores and ultimately, decomposers. Once buried in the soil, carbon can be converted into fossil fuels over long periods of time and then also reenter the atmosphere by combustion. The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. The carbon cycle is an example of the Law

Ans 3. Most of the chemical energy needed for life is stored in organic compounds as bonds between carbon atoms and other atoms. The law of conservation of energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed. Thus, just like matter energy is also conserved in the process.

Hope it helps

How many atoms are there in 1.3 x 10^22 molecules of N(O)2

Alex73 [517]

1 molecule of NO2 included N atom and 2 oxygen atoms, so a total of 3 atoms per molecule.

1.3 x 10^22 times 3 = 3.9 x 10^22 atoms

Complete Question

A student is extracting caffeine from water with dichloromethane. The K value is 4.6. If the student starts with a total of 40 mg of caffeine in 2 mL of water and extracts once with 6 mL of dichloromethane

The experiment above is repeated, but instead of extracting once with 6 mL the extraction is done three times with 2 mL of dichloromethane each time. How much caffeine will be in each dichloromethane extract?

Answer:

The mass of caffeine extracted is $P = 39.8 \ mg$
