Which of these elements has an atom with the most stable outer electron configuration? * Cl Ca Ne Na

Chemistry
1 answer:
SashulF [63]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Neon (Ne) has the most stable outer electron configuration because the outer electron is completely filled and it has octet structure

Explanation:

The configuration of these elements is as follows;

Cl₁₇ = 2, 8,7 (the outer electron is 7)

Ca₂₀ = 2,8,8,2 (the outer electron is 2)

Ne₁₀ = 2,8 (the outer electron is 8)

Na₁₁ = 2,8,1 (the outer electron is 1)

Based on the outer electron value above, Neon (Ne) has the most stable outer electron configuration because the outer electron is completely filled and it has octet structure.

Which one of these complementary base pairs can form three hydrogen bonds?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer

Explanation:

There are three hydrogen bonds formed between Guanine and Cytosine base.  

The first hydrogen bond is formed between the oxygen atom on Carbon-6 (C-6) of guanine, and one of the hydrogen atoms attached to the Nitrogen atom (i.e the one of the hydrogen atoms in the amino group) on the Carbon-4 (C-4)of the cytosine base.  

The second hydrogen bond is formed between the hydrogen atom on Nitrogen-1 (N-1) of the guanine base and Nitrogen-3 (N-3) of the cytosine base.

The third hydrogen bond exist between one of the hydrogen atoms in the amino group attached to the second Carbon (C-2) of the guanine base, and the oxygen atom attached to the second Carbon (C-2) of the cytosine base.

Relate the intermolecular forces in hydrocarbons to their physical properties and uses
DENIUS [597]

The physical properties of alkenes and alkynes are generally similar to those of alkanes or cycloalkanes with equal numbers of carbon atoms. Alkynes have higher boiling points than alkanes or alkenes, because the electric field of an alkyne, with its increased number of weakly held π electrons, is more easily distorted, producing stronger attractive forces between molecules.

34kurt

Answer:

A carboxyl group (COOH) is a functional group consisting of a carbonyl group (C=O) with a hydroxyl group (O-H) attached to the same carbon atom. Carboxyl groups have the formula -C(=O)OH, usually written as -COOH or CO2H.
