The rabbit and the girl are living things.
The shoe and the skirt are non-living things.
C) hydrogen and oxygen atoms
Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Atomic number of lithium is 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1. So, to attain stability it will loose an electron and hence, it forms a single bond.
Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and it has 7 valence electrons. Hence, in order to attain stability it will gain one electron and therefore, it forms a single bond only.
Atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and its electronic distribution is 2, 5. Therefore, to attain stability it needs to gain 3 more electrons. Hence, a nitrogen atom is able to form a triple bond and also it is able to form a double bond.
Hydrogen has atomic number 1 and it attains stability by gaining one electron. Therefore, a hydrogen atoms always forms a single bond.
Atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7. To complete its octet it needs to gain one electron. Hence, a fluorine atom always forms a single bond.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options nitrogen is most likely to form multiple (double or triple) bonds.
Chemists use balanced chemical equations as a basis to calculate how much reactant is needed or how much product will be formed in a reaction.
It depends on the location on the periodic table and if it is easier to loose are gain electrons to fill the valence electron shell.
The electron affinity of the neutral atom of the element can show indicate whether or not the element is going the make positive or negative ions. The higher the electron affinity is, the more the neutral atom wants to gain electrons. The electron affinity for alkali metals and alkaline earth metals are low due to the fact that they are located on the left of the periodic table and only needs to loose 1 or 2 electrons to have a completed valence shell. That means that they want to form cations (loose electrons). Halogens have a high electron affinity since they are located on the right of the periodic table and only have to gain 1 electron to get a completed valence electron configuration. That means that it forms anions.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
