Answer:

Explanation:

Oxygen molecules and Nitrogen molecules forms in a very similar way. The attraction between particles of oxygen is great due to its very high electronegativity value. Oxygen has a higher electronegative value compared to nitrogen.

Electronegativity of an atom is the relative tendency with which atoms of an element attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond. Valence electrons are used in forming chemical bonds. They can be transferred from one atom to the other or they can be shared.

Oxygen is the second most electronegative atom on the periodic table. To form a bond, it shares the valence electrons in order for its octet to be complete. Pull for the valence electrons between the contributing atoms is very strong due to their large electronegative values. This pull is stronger compared to that between nitrogen atoms.

Atoms of metallic elements tend to...
lara31 [8.8K]

The answer is: lose electrons and form positive ions.

Most metals have strong metallic bond, because of strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.

The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).

For example, magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.  

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

If i initially have 4.0 l of a gas at a pressure of 1.1 atm, what will the volume be if i increase the pressure of 3.4 atm?
ddd [48]
  The  volume  of  a  gas  that   its  pressure  increase  to  3.4  atm   is    calculated  as   follows

  By  use  of  boyles   law   that  is  P1V1=P2V2
V1=4.0  L
P1=1.1  atm
P2=3.4  atm
V2= P1V1/P2  

(1.1  atm  x  4.0 L)/3.4  atm=  1.29  L
