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.

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.

Calculate the empirical formula of each of the following substances with the following compositions.
OleMash [197]

Explanation:

Note: Molar masses of elements can be found online or in the periodic table.

Moles of Magnesium

= 3.60g / (24.3g/mol) = 0.148mol.

Moles of Chlorine

= 10.65g / (35.45g/mol) = 0.300mol.

Mole ratio of Magnesium to Chlorine

= 0.148mol : 0.300mol = 1 : 2.

Hence we have the empirical formula MgCl2.

Moles of Lithium

= 9.1g / (6.94g/mol) = 1.311mol.

Moles of Oxygen

= 10.4g / (16g/mol) = 0.650mol.

Moles ratio of Lithium to Oxygen

= 1.311mol : 0.650mol = 2 : 1.

Hence we have the empirical formula Li2O.

A gas that exerts a pressure of ? bar in a container with a volume of 0.5650 L will exert a pressure of 715.1 bar when transferr
uranmaximum [27]
Robert Boyle, the 17th century British chemist, first noticed that the volume of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when kept at a constant temperature. When working with ideal gases we use PV = nRT, but remember n, R, and T are all constant. Therefore we have:

PV(before) = PV(after)

P(0.5650) = (715.1)(1.204)

please help!!!!!! What is the mass of 1 mole of magnesium (Mg)? Express your answer to four significant figures. The mass of 1 m
Semmy [17]
I believe you just look at your periodic table for this value. I don't think there is any math involved.
Therefore one mole of Mg = 24.305g.
