Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

X  is Be

Y  is B

Z  is  O            

Explanation:

In order to understand the solution, we need to that the an element form a bond based on

1  The number of valence electron available in its atom

2 The  number of electron it require to attains its stable state i.e its Octet  state

        The number of valence electron for each of the option  are

                 F = 7,   N = 5 , O = 6 , C = 4 , B = 3 , Be = 2

 Considering the first element

           We see that  X is donating  two valence electron in its atom and it is donating it to 2  Cl as Cl  only requires a single electron to achieve its stable state

Now looking  option we can see that  Be has two valence  electron in it atom and in order for it to attain its stable state it needs to release the electron so the correct option for this question is Be

Considering the second  element              

      We see that  Y is donating  three valence electron in its atom and it is donating it to 3  Cl as Cl  only requires a single electron to achieve its stable state    

    Now looking  option we can see that  B has three valence  electron in it atom and in order for it to attain its stable state it needs to release the valence electron so the correct option for this question is B

Considering the second  element  

      We see that  Z is donating two valence electron in its atom and it is donating it to 2  Cl as Cl  only requires a single electron to achieve its stable state, also Z has 2 lone-pair valence electron

       Now looking at the option we can see that  O has 6 valence electron so if it donates 2 valence electron it will still be left with 4 - pair of electron

   Therefore the correct option to this question is  O

What volume will 2.5 mol of a gas at STP occupy ?
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

56

Explanation:

1 mole of gas at STP occupies 22.4 L of the gas

2.5 mole of the gas at STP occupies 22.4×2.5 L of the gas

so 2.5 mole of the gas at STP occupies 56 L of the gas .

Which of the following best describes a metal? Brittle, shiny, and solid Brittle, dull, and low density Malleable, shiny, and ab
yanalaym [24]

Answer : The correct option is, Malleable, shiny, and able to conduct heat or electricity.

Explanation:

Metals : Metals are the elements which can easily loose electrons and forms cations.

Properties of metals :

  • They are lustrous (shine).
  • They are malleable and ductile (flexible).
  • They conduct heat and electricity.
  • The metallic oxides are basic in nature.
  • They form cations in an aqueous solution.

Non-metals : Non-metals are the elements which can easily gain electrons and form an anion.

Properties of non-metals :

  • They are non-lustrous.
  • They are brittle and hard in nature.
  • They do not conduct heat and electricity.
  • The non-metallic oxides are acidic in nature.
  • They form anions in an aqueous solution.

Hence, from the given options the correct option for metal is, Malleable, shiny, and able to conduct heat or electricity.

How many molecular of H2O and O2 are present in 8.5g of H2O2 ?​
Mama L [17]

2H2O+O2--->2H2O2  

8.5 gm H2O2=0.25 mole  

hence H2O is also 0.25 mole i.e.4.5 gm  

O2is 0.125 mole i.e.4 gm
