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.

What are two characteristics of an ideal gas that are not true of a real gas
MrRissso [65]

There are many differences between ideal gas and real gas; some of the main differences are as following:

  • An ideal gas follows the formula PV=nRT but a real gas does not always follow this formula.
  • There is no attraction between the molecules of an ideal gas. A real gas has significant particle attractions.
  • The particles of an ideal gas lose no energy to its container. A real gas conducts and radiates heat, thereby losing energy.
  • An ideal gas is infinitely compressible, a real gas will condense to a liquid at some pressure.
  • Real gas particles have a volume and ideal gas particles do not.
  • Real gas particles collide in-elastically (loses energy with collisions) and ideal gas particles collide elastically.

Iodine-131 is a radioactive material that plays a role in natural gas production and has a half-life of 8 days. A 320-mg sample
svetlana [45]

Time of decays approximately 2.853 days

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass = 320mg iodine-131

No=320 mg

Nt=250 mg

t1/2 = 8 days

Required

t=time of decays

Solution

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

Input the value

\tt 250=320.\dfrac{1}{2}^{t/8}\\\\log\dfrac{25}{30}=t/8.log~0.5\rightarrow t=2.853~days
