Answer:

Explanation:

the element is sulphur so it gains electrons, since it is not a metal

Answer : This atom more likely to gain two electrons to attain stability.

Explanation :

In order to attain stability the atoms tends to have eight electrons in its valence shell which can be obtained by either by sharing of electrons of complete transfer of electrons.

The tendency of atoms to attempt to get a noble gas configuration that is eight valence electrons is said to be octet rule.

In the given image there are 16 electrons in the shell that means the element is sulfur that has 6 valence electron. In order to attain stability, it will take or gain two electrons and the result in the same electronic configuration as the argon.

Hence, this atom more likely to gain two electrons to attain stability.

Answer:

Option 1

Explanation:

The question is asking us what formula is used to obtain the quantity of heat added to a given mass of mercury in order to cause its temperature to change.

This quantity of heat is obtained from;

q = mcspΔT

Where;

q = quantity of heat added

m = mass of the mercury

csp= specific heat capacity of mercury

ΔT = temperature change

What is the Molar Mass of Iron(Fe)? and also state how many particles there are in one mole of iron.
Lunna [17]
The atomic mass is useful in chemistry when it is paired with the mole concept: the atomic mass of an element, measured in amu, is the same as the mass in grams of one mole of an element. since the atomic mass of iron is 55.847 amu, one mole of iron atoms would weigh 55.847 grams.

Why does sodium form a 1+ ion but magnesium forms a 2+ ion
NARA [144]
Because Na has one too many electron to be stable, while Mg has 2. once they loose those electrons, they will be come ion. loosing one electron will give the ion a 1+ charge, and loosing 2 will create a 2+ charge
