Answer: The correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.
Explanation:
Hello! Let's solve this!
We will analyze each of the options:
A. The group number of the element provides a clue to the number of valence electrons: it is correct, since it provides the number of valence electrons.
B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable: this is not correct, since elements with eight electrons in the valence shell cannot react because they already have the last complete shell. Therefore, they are chemically stable.
C. The points must be placed one at a time on each side of the chemical symbol: it is correct, because that is the way to make the point diagram.
D. An atom is chemically stable if all the points are paired: this is correct since this verifies that the point diagram has been done well.
We conclude that the correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.
Hope this helps..... Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! :D
<u>Answer:</u> The chemical equation is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.
This law states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form. This also means that total number of individual atoms on reactant side must be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.
The chemical equation for the reaction of elemental boron and oxygen gas follows:
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
4 moles of elemental boron reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of diboron trioxide.
The chemical equation for the reaction of diboron trioxide and water follows:
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
1 mole of diboron trixoide reacts with 3 moles of water to produce 2 moles of boric acid.
Hence, the chemical equations are written above.
Answer:There are two atoms in the molecule.
Explanation: All gases are diatomic i.e they are covalently bonded to another atom of the same element in order to attain stability. O atom is usually unstable because of it's incompletely filled outermost shell.
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the fifth option. Of the following , the strong electrolyte would be NH4NO3. NH4NO3<span> is a salt and completely dissociates in aqueous solution. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
