Why doesn't gold react with oxygon

Give me a thanks I been helped a lot of people and non of them is thanks me.

<span>Gold have a single outer electron. This seems disadvantageous, energy-wise, until you look at the orbitals the electrons are in. The lone electron is in an S-orbital. This orbital is thus half full (since s-orbitals can contain 2 electrons), whereas all the other inner orbitals in silver and gold are filled, and hence exceptionally stable. After a full orbital, the next most stable orbital is a half full one. </span>

Perform the following metric conversions: Please explain bc I really dont get it at ALL !!!!
makkiz [27]

Answer:

0.2007 nm

3.57 cm

0.01478 g

8280000 pg

Explanation:

1)200.7 pm

1 picometer is equal to 0.001 nanometer.

1 nm = 1000 pm

200.7 pm× 1 nm / 1000 pm  = 0.2007 nm

2)0.000357 hm

1 hectometer is equal to 10,000 centimeter.

1 hc = 10,000 cm

0.000357 hc× 10,000 cm / 1 hc = 3.57 cm

3) 14.78 mg

1 gram is equal to 1000 milligram.

1 g = 1000 mg

14.78 mg × 1 g/1000 mg = 0.01478 g

4)8.280 µg

1 microgram is equal to 10⁶ picogram.

1 µg = 1000000 pg

8.280 µg× 10⁶ pg/ 1µg = 8.280×10⁶ pg or 8280000 pg

28. Describe the molecular geometry and hybridization of the N, P, or S atoms in each of the following compounds. (a) H3PO4, pho
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The molecular geometry of an atom is connected to the number of electron pairs that surround it(whether lone pairs or bonding pairs) as well as its hybridization state. We shall now examine the N, P, or S atoms in each of the following compounds.

a)

In H3PO4, P has a tetrahedral molecular geometry and is sp3 hybridized.

b) In NH4NO3

N is sp3 hybridized in NH4^+ and sp2 hybridized in NO3^-. Also, N is tetrahedral in NH4^+ but trigonal planar in NO3^-.

c) In S2Cl2, we expect a tetrahedral geometry but as a result of the presence of two lone pairs on each sulphur atom, the molecular geometry is bent. The sulphur is sp3 hybridized.

d) In K4[O3POPO3], each phosphorus atom is in a tetrahedral molecular geometry and is sp3 hybridized.
