In order for a nonmetal to obey the octet rule, it____.

Chemistry

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Non-metals are the species which have deficiency of electrons. Therefore, in order to gain stability non-metals tend to gain electrons so that their octet gets completely filled.

For example, atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electrons are distributed as 2, 8, 7. Thus, in order to completely filled the shell chlorine will gain one electron from an electron rich atom or metal.

Hence, we can conclude that in order for a nonmetal to obey the octet rule, it gains electrons.

"calculate the ratio of the velocity of hydrogen molecules to the velocity of carbon dioxide molecules at the same temperature"
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: 1:4.69

Explanation:

The ratio can be expressed as:

Ua/Ub= √(Mb/Ma)

Where Ua/Ub is the ratio of velocity of hydrogen to carbon dioxide and Ma is the molecular mass of hydrogen gas= 2

Mb is the molecular mass of CO2 = 44

Therefore

Ua/Ub= √(44/2)

Ua/Ub = 4.69

Therefore the ratio of velocity of hydrogen gas to carbon dioxide = 1:4.69

which implies hydogen is about 4.69 times faster than carbon dioxide.

True or false the si in sih4 does not follow the octet rule because hydrogen is in an unusual oxidation stat
ExtremeBDS [4]
The statement is true. The octet rule refers to the general rule of thumb wherein atoms of main-group elements tend to bond with other atoms in such a way that each atom possesses eight electrons (octet) in their valence shell. They tend to form the same electronic configuration as the noble gases. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. One of which is silane, SiH₄. A hydrogen atom only has 1 valence electron and needs another electron to complete its energy level. This is unlike other atoms, for example, carbon which has 4 valence electrons and needs to form 4 covalent bonds to fill its energy levels. Thus, 4 hydrogen atoms need only 4 more electrons. This is given by the silicon atom which has 4 valence electrons. Therefore, when a silicon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms, the resulting molecule, SiH₄, is a stable one.

aleksley [76]

Answer:

V ∝ abc

Explanation:

This task is a joint variation task involving only direct proportionality:

Direct variation is one in which two variables are in direct proportionality to each other. This means that as one increases, the other variable also increases and vice - versa.

Joint variation is one in which one variable is dependent on two or more variables and varies directly as each of them.

In this exercise:

If a ∝ b and a ∝ c, then a ∝ bc

Taking the above three proportionalities,

V ∝ a ∝ b ∝ c

V ∝ a ∝ bc

V ∝ abc
