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

Chemistry

lyudmila [28]3 years ago

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.

The K w for water at 0 ∘ C is 0.12 × 10 − 14 . Calculate the pH of a neutral aqueous solution at 0 ∘ C.
dusya [7]

Answer:

pH = 7.46

Explanation:

2H₂O  ⇄  H₃O⁺  .  OH⁻          Kw = [H₃O⁺] . [OH⁻]

[H₃O⁺] = [OH⁻]

√0.12×10⁻¹⁴ = [H₃O⁺] → 3.46×10⁻⁸  M

- log  [H₃O⁺] = pH

- log 3.46×10⁻⁸ = pH → 7.46

A solution of ph 5 has _____ times more hydrogen ions than that of pure water.
Alik [6]
PH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions on the log 10 scale. Thus, a pH 5 solution has 2 order of magnitude difference from that of pure water, which has a pH of 7.

Therefore, 10^{2} = 100. A solution of pH 5 has 100 times more hydrogen ions that that of pure water.
