Potassium (K) having 9 valance electrons can donate a single electron to Fluorine and reach the noble state by completing the Octet.

Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Octet Rule:

When the atoms of an element hold 8 independent valance electrons in their outermost orbit; the element converts into its noble state where it doesn't need to react or combine to any other element and gets stable. Each element tend to reach such state by either donating or receiving electrons to satisfy the Octet rule.

Here in this case, we can see that its Potassium which can donate a single electron to Fluorine as it has 19 electrons in each of its atoms. If we see its electronic configuration, we will know that the electrons are divided in three orbits having 2, 8 and 9 electrons, respectively.

Now, if a Potassium atom leaves one of its valence electrons out of 9; the count will be reduced to 8 which will make it stable according to the Octet Rule and hence, it forms a noble gas. Thus, it's Potassium which can donate an electron and gets stable.

There are 43.2 g of carbon to 14.4 g of hydrogen in a sample of methane (CH4). What percent of 37.8 g of methane is carbon?
EastWind [94]

Using the law of constant proportions  which says that within the same compound, elements exist in fixed ratios. 

Therefore; we can use the ratio of total mass to the mass of carbon, to determine the amount of carbon in another sample.

Mass C / Mass CH4 = Mass C / Mass CH4

43.2 g / 57.6 g = Mass C / 37.8 g

Mass C = 37.8 g × 43.2 g / 57.6 g 

              = 28.35 g

Hence; the percentage of carbon will be; 

=(28.35/ 37.8 )× 100%

= 75 % 

Thus; 75% of 37.8 g of methane is carbon

As you have seen in this lab, the density of water is near 1 g/cm3. Anything with a density lower than this will float in water,
hammer [34]
The third answer is the one you want. You have to have an adjustable density. All other things being equal, if the tanks you use for holding just water when filled with water will let the sub sink, because the sub is made of a dense metal like iron or steel.

If on the other hand you fill these tanks with air, the net density will be below one and the sub will rise.
