Answer: The correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.
Explanation:
Hello! Let's solve this!
We will analyze each of the options:
A. The group number of the element provides a clue to the number of valence electrons: it is correct, since it provides the number of valence electrons.
B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable: this is not correct, since elements with eight electrons in the valence shell cannot react because they already have the last complete shell. Therefore, they are chemically stable.
C. The points must be placed one at a time on each side of the chemical symbol: it is correct, because that is the way to make the point diagram.
D. An atom is chemically stable if all the points are paired: this is correct since this verifies that the point diagram has been done well.
We conclude that the correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.
Hope this helps..... Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! :D
Considering that CCL3F gas behave like an ideal gas then we can use the Ideal Gas Law
<span>PV = nRT, however is an approximation and not the only way to resolve this problem with the given data..So,at the end of the solution I am posting some sources for further understanding and a expanded point of view. </span>
<span>Data: P= 856torr, T = 300K, V= 1.1L, R = 62.36 L Torr / KMol </span>
<span>Solving and substituting in the Gas equation for n = PV / RT = (856)(1.1L) /( 62.36)(300) = 0.05 Mol. This RESULT is of any gas. To tie it up to our gas we need to look for its molecular weight:MW of CCL3F = 137.7 gm/mol. </span>
<span>Then : 0.05x 137.5 = 6.88gm of vapor </span>
<span>If we sustract the vapor weight from the TOTAL weight of liquid we have: 11.5gm - 6.88gm = 4.62 gm of liquid.d</span>
Molecules are cooler so they bocme more dense.. move very slow, have less kinetic energy and are not in random motion.
