Why are the noble gases (group 18) inert?

Chemistry
1 answer:
dalvyx [7]3 years ago
8 0

The noble gases are relatively unreactive because they have a stable octet of valence electrons.

Thus, they do not tend to undergo reactions in which they will gain or lose valence electrons,

However, <em>only He, Ne, and Ar are inert</em>. Kr and Xe combine with other highly reactive elements to form stable compounds.

Katena32 [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of moles of strontium bicarbonate is 7.5\times 10^{-9}mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

Formula units are defined as lowest whole number ratio of ions in an ionic compound. It is calculate by multiplying the number of moles by Avogadro's number which is 6.022\times 10^{23}

We are given:

Number of formula units of Sr(HCO_3)_2=4.55\times 10^{15}

As, 6.022\times 10^{23}  number of formula units are contained in 1 mole of a substance.

So, 4.55\times 10^{15} number of formula units will be contained in = \frac{1}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 4.55\times 10^{15}=7.5\times 10^{-9}mol of strontium bicarbonate.

Hence, the number of moles of strontium bicarbonate is 7.5\times 10^{-9}mol

Which type of substance is an electron-pair acceptor?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

A lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. A definition of a lewis acid is something that when dissolves in water produces hydrogen ions (protons). Hence, this positively charged particle can then accept non bonding electrons and can hence be called an electron pair acceptor.
