Answer: The correct option is e.

Explanation: In the given question it is asked to tell the element which has 'Sea of electrons' while bonding.

This means that the element should have extra electrons so that it can bond easily or this also means which element can easily donate its electron to form a bond.

  • Electronic configuration of Hydrogen = 1s^1

Hydrogen cannot loose electrons easily because the electron is present in 1s sub-shell which is the closest to the nucleus and hence will be tightly bonded to it.

  • Electronic configuration of Helium = 1s^2

This element will not loose electrons easily because the 1s sub-shell is fully filled and hence will not be available for bonding.

  • Electronic configuration of Sulfur = 3s^23p^4

This element lacks 2 electrons from attaining stable configurations. Hence, it will gain 2 electrons rather than donating for bonding.

  • Electronic configuration of Iodine = 5s^25p^5

This element lacks 1 electron to attain stable configuration. Hence, it will gain 1 electron rather than donating for bonding.

  • Electronic configuration of Lithium = 1s^22s^1

This element has an extra electron in its valence shell and can be easily lost in order to form bond.

Hence, the correct option is e.

How many moles are there in 3.612 x 1024 formula units of Na2SO4?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

<h3>Theanswer is 6 moles</h3>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L}  \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{3.612 \times  {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>6 moles</h3>

Select the keyword or phrase that will best complete each sentence.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

1) acetylide

2) enol

3) aldehydes

4) tautomers

5) alkynes

6) Hydroboration

7) Keto

8) methyl ketones

Explanation:

Acetylide anions (R-C≡C^-) is a strong nucleophile. Being a strong nucleophile, we can use it to open up an epoxide ring by SN2 mechanism. The attack of the acetylide ion occurs from the backside of the epoxide ring. It must attack at the less substituted side of the epoxide.

Oxomercuration of alkynes and hydroboration of alkynes are similar reactions in that they both yield carbonyl compounds that often exhibit keto-enol tautomerism.

The equilibrium position may lie towards the Keto form of the compound. Usually, if terminal alkynes are used, the product of the reaction is a methyl ketone.

How do particles in matter change when a substance becomes hotter, cool down, or changes state?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space.
