Answer:
In covalent bonding, the octet rule is important because sharing electrons gives both atoms a full valence shell. As a result, each atom can consider the shared electrons to be part of its own valence shell.

Your answer is D. 8
16 = 2^4
72 = 2^3*3^2
So you'll choose 2^3 = 8
Answer:
0.42%
Explanation:
<em>∵ pH = - log[H⁺].</em>
2.72 = - log[H⁺]
∴ [H⁺] = 1.905 x 10⁻³.
<em>∵ [H⁺] = √Ka.C</em>
∴ [H⁺]² = Ka.C
∴ ka = [H⁺]²/C = (1.905 x 10⁻³)²/(0.45) = 8.068 x 10⁻⁶.
<em>∵ Ka = α²C.</em>
Where, α is the degree of dissociation.
<em>∴ α = √(Ka/C) </em>= √(8.065 x 10⁻⁶/0.45) = <em>4.234 x 10⁻³.</em>
<em>∴ percentage ionization of the acid = α x 100</em> = (4.233 x 10⁻³)(100) = <em>0.4233% ≅ 0.42%.</em>
