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.

Why can you never see the far side of the mood from earth?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer: -

C) because the moon rotates once on its axis in the same time that it takes to revolve around the earth

Explanation: -

The moon rotates about it's axis one full time at about the same time as it takes to rotate around the earth.

This leads to only one side of the moon always appearing to Earth, called the near side.

One side of the moon is always not seen from the earth. It is called the far side of the moon.

Thus we can never see the far side of the moon because the moon rotates once on its axis in the same time that it takes to revolve around the earth

The shape of the BF3 molecule is best described as
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The shape of the BF3 molecule is best described as trigonal planar.

Explanation:

The Lewis Structure for BF3 is like this:

 _            _

| F |        | F |

   \          /

        B

         |

      | F |

       ---

It forms three angles of 120° each. The bonds are in the same planar that's why it is trigonal planar and they are exactly the same.

Boron and Fluorine have 3 covalent bonds, produced by electronic promotion that enables the 2py and 2pz orbitals, leaving an electron to pair in the 2px. So boron will have 3 possible electrons to pair in 2s1, 2px and 2py, remember that electronic configuration for B is 1s2, 2s2, 2p1

By hybridization between the orbitals 2s2 and 2p1, the electrons of F, can joined to make the covalent bond. The new B configuration is 1s2, 2s1, 2px1, 2py1 (these last three, hybrid orbitals)

How are the pressure and temperature of a gas related
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The pressure of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, provided that the volume does not change (Amontons's law). ... The volume of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when temperature is held constant (Boyle's law).
