Answer: Formation of a stable Duplet or Octet structure

Explanation:

Energy levels refers to the definite amount of energies that electrons can have when occupying specific orbitals.

Examples are:

Level 1 as in 1s

Level 2 as in 2s, 2p

Level 3 as in 3s 3p 3d

Level 4 as in 4s 4p 4d 4f

Level 5 as in 5s .......

Level 6 as in 6s .........

Electrons can be excited to higher energy levels by absorbing energy from the surroundings during chemical reactions and so forming chemical bonds like ionic, covalent etc.

A perfect example is Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) in Sodium chloride (NaCl)

Sodium has atomic number of 11, so energy level is 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s1

Chlorine has atomic number of 17, so energy level is 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p5

You will notice that the both Na and Cl, has electrons in the energy level 3. Then, the bond formed must be one that lead to the formation of a OCTET structure: as in Na gives off its 3s1 electron TO Cl.

Thus, Cl now becomes 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6 - an OCTET STRUCTURE (with completely filled outershell and full energy level 3) in NACl.

So, a duplet or Octet structure is the answer

The molar mass of barium nitrate (ba(no3)2) is 261.35 g/mol. what is the mass of 5.30 × 1022 formula units of ba(no3)2? 0.0900 g
liberstina [14]

Molar mass is the ratio of the mass to that amount of the substance. The mass of the barium nitrate in the formula unit is 23.0 grams.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

The mass of a substance is the product of the molar mass of the compound and the number of moles of the compound.

Given,

Molar mass of barium nitrate = 261.35 g/mol

If, 6.022 \times 10^{23} have a mass of 261.35 g/mol then, 5.30 \times 10^{22} formula units will have a mass of,

\begin{aligned}& = \dfrac{261.35 \times 5.30 \times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\\\\&= 23.0\;\rm gm\end{aligned}

Therefore, option C. 23.0 gm is the mass of barium nitrate.
