the answer is b so the second option

<span>The answer is the option B. ionic bond. The ionic bond takes place when two ions of opposite charge (one positive and other negative) are bonded due to the electrostatic force between them. When sodium loses its valence electron it forms the positive ion (cation) Na+, and when chloride gains the electron lost by the sodium atom, it forms the negative ion (anion) Cl -, so these two ions form the ionic bond.</span>

As you move across the period on the periodic table what pattern can be described about the electron configurations?
xeze [42]

Answer:

Elements in the same period have same number of electronic shell and electron is increased by one in every coming element with in same electronic shell.

Explanation:

Consider the second period of periodic table. This period consist of eight elements lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon.

Electronic configuration of lithium:

Li₃ = [He] 2s¹

Electronic configuration of beryllium:

Be₄ = [He] 2s²

Electronic configuration of boron:

B₅ = [He] 2s² 2p¹

Electronic configuration of carbon:

C₆ = [He] 2s² 2p²

Electronic configuration of nitrogen:

N₇ = [He] 2s² 2p³

Electronic configuration of oxygen:

O₈ = [He] 2s² 2p⁴

Electronic configuration of fluorine:

F₉ = [He] 2s² 2p⁵

Electronic configuration of neon:

Ne₁₀ = [He] 2s² 2p⁶

All these elements present in same period having same electronic shell and number of electron increased by 1.

How many moles of sulfur<br> dioxide are in 2.26 x 10^33 sulfur dioxide molecules?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

moles = no. of molecules / Avogadro's number

         = 2.26 x 10^33 / 6.022 x 10^23

         = 3752906011

Round to significant figures which is 3 = 3.75 x 10^9 mol

Explanation: The formula for finding how many moles of a substance when given the amount of molecules is: moles = number of molecules / Avogadro's number
