it would need to gain 2 more for it to achieve a stable configuration
the best way to remember this is the noble gasses all have 8 valence electrons and that they are the most stable elements on the periodic table
The answer is theory because it says if and that means theory
The chemical formula of aluminium nitrate is - Al(NO₃)₃
cation is Al³⁺
anion is NO₃⁻
One Al atom binds to three nitrate groups
the options given are
2. <span>It has three aluminum (Al) atoms
this is incorrect as there's only one Al atom
3. </span><span>It has one NO3 group.
this is incorrect as there are three nitrate groups
4. </span><span>It has nine nitrogen (N) atoms
there are only 3 N atoms therefore this too is incorrect
</span>therefore the correct answer is -
It has three NO₃<span> groups
</span>
I believe that the choices for this question are:
C2H4O2, C4H8O4 CH2O, C6H12O6 C3H6O3, C6H12O6 C2H4O2, C6H12O6
The answer to this based on the molar masses given is:
C2H4O2, C6H12O6
To prove calculate the molar mass:
C2H4O2 = 2*12 + 4*1 + 2*16 = 60
C6H12O6 = 6*12 + 12*1 + 6*16 = 180
