The options

Select one:

a. a 3- ion forms.

b. the noble gas configuration of argon is achieved.

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

d. the atom gains five electrons.

Answer:

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

Explanation:

Aluminium atom has atomic number of 13 , hence the number of electron is 13 for a neutral atom of aluminium. When aluminium atom reacts with other elements it usually gives out three electron to attain the octet configuration.

The cation representation of aluminium is Al3+ because it has loss three electron to attain the octet rule. Aluminium will be left with 10 electrons after losing 3 of it electrons. The electronic configuration will be represented as follows after losing three electrons;

1S² 2S² 2P∧6 .

At this stage the octet rule has been achieved as it will be represented as

2  8.  The first energy shell now contains two electron and the second energy shell contains 8 electrons.

The configuration of  Neon has been formed in the process.

A complex ion that forms in solution has a structure that:____.
xeze [42]

Answer:

can only be determined experimentally.

Explanation:

In the early days of inorganic chemistry, the structure of complex ions remained a mystery hence the name ''complex''.

These ions appear to have structures that defied accurate elucidation. However, by diligent laboratory investigation, Alfred Werner was able to accurately determine the structure of cobalt complexes. As a result of this, he is regarded as a pathfinder in coordination chemistry.

Hence, the structure of complex ions can only be determined experimentally.

the equation demonstrates a reaction of sodium chloride and fluorine. 2NaCl+F2=2NaF+Cl2. in order for the reaction to proceed, f
slamgirl [31]

Answer: You would need 1 mole of Fluorine

Explanation:The equation is already balanced so just looking at the coefficients in the equation we can see that Sodium Chloride (2NaCl) needs two moles for this equation and fluorine (F2) only needs one.

Why do we have 2 high tides and 2 low tides a day?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Whereas semidiurnal tides are observed at the equator at all times, most locations north or south of the equator experiencetwo unequal high tides and twounequal low tides per tidal day; this is called a mixed tide and the difference in height between successive high (or low) tides iscalled the diurnal inequality.

Why does the dehydration of an alcohol more often use concentrated sulfuric acid, H 2 S O 4 HX2SOX4, as the acid catalyst rather
Dimas [21]

KAnswer:

See explanation

Explanation:

It is more common to use H2SO4 for dehydration reaction rather than HCl because HCl contains a good nucleophile,the chloride ion.

Owing to the presence of the chloride ion, a substitution reaction involving the chloride ion may also proceed also thereby affecting the elimination reaction.

Also, concentrated H2SO4 is a very good drying agent thus, as long as it is used, the alcohol substrate is completely dehydrated to yield the alkene.

Note that HCl is not a dehydrating agent.
