Study the electron dot diagrams for lithium, carbon, fluorine, and neon in Figure 6-1. Choose the statement that correctly ident

ifies the most stable of the elements.
A. Lithium is the most stable element because it has to lose only one electron to achieve a stable configuration.
B. Carbon is the most stable element because it can form four bonds.
C. Fluorine is the most stable element because it has to gain only one electron to achieve a stable configuration.
D. Neon is the most stable element because its highest occupied energy level is filled.

D.
The completely filled valence shell of Neon makes it most stable.
statuscvo [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer is: D. Neon is the most stable element because its highest occupied energy level is filled.

Neon (symbol: Ne) is an element (noble gas) with atomic number 10, which means it has 10 protons and 10 electrons.

Electron configuration of neon atom: ₁₀Ne 1s²2s²2p⁶.

Noble gases are in group 18: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). They have very low chemical reactivity.

Who much the velocity of a body when it travels 600m in 5 min​
Gwar [14]

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

Applying the formulae of velocity,

V = d/t............. Equation 1

Where V = Velocity of the body, d = distance, t = time

From the question,

Given: d = 600 m, t = 5 minutes = (5×60) = 300 seconds.

Substitute these values into equation 1

V = 600/300

V = 2 m/s.

Hence the velocity of the body when it travels is 2 m/s

A solution is prepared at that is initially in benzoic acid , a weak acid with , and in sodium benzoate . Calculate the pH of th
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

pH=4.1

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for a concentration of 0.42 M of benzoic acid whose Ka is 6.3x10⁻⁵ in 0.33 M sodium benzoate, we use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation to compute the required pH:

pH=pKa+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )

Whereas the concentration of the base is 0.33 M and the concentration of the acid is 0.42 M, thereby, we obtain:

pH=-log(Ka)+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )\\\\pH=-log(6.3x10^{-5})+log(\frac{0.33M}{0.42M} )\\\\pH=4.1

Regards.

Write the overall, balanced molecular equation and indicate which element is oxidized and which is reduced for the following rea
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Cd(s) + AgNO₃(aq)  → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ag(s)

Oxidized: Cd

Reduced: Ag

Explanation:

Cd(s) + AgNO₃(aq)  → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ag(s)

Cd → Cd²⁺  +  2e⁻      Half reaction oxidation

1e⁻ + Ag⁺ → Ag           Half reaction reduction

Ag changed oxidation number from +1 to 0

Cd changed oxidation number from 0 to +2

Let's ballance the electrons

( Cd → Cd²⁺  +  2e⁻ ) .1

( 1e⁻ + Ag⁺ → Ag ) .2

Cd + 2e⁻ + 2Ag⁺  → 2Ag +  Cd²⁺  +  2e⁻

Finally the ballance equation is:

Cd(s) + 2AgNO₃(aq)  → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2Ag(s)
