In chemistry, a radical is an atom, molecule, or ion that has an unpaired valence electron. With some exceptions, these unpaired electrons make radicals highly chemically reactive. Many radicals spontaneously dimerize. Most organic radicals have short lifetimes.

Which of the following elements will sulfur most readily react with in order to help it fill its outer shell with 8 electrons?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Magnesium

Explanation:

Using the KLMN styled electronic configuration, the electronic configuration of sulphur with atomic number 16 is 2, 8,6

What this means is that it needs extra 2 electrons to fill into its M shell to attain the octet configuration.

Now let’s look at Magnesium, with atomic number 12, the electronic configuration it has is 2,8,2.

This means it has 2 extra electrons to give away so as to attain its own stability.

The sulphur atom will gladly accept the two electrons which the magnesium atom wants to give away. This makes it the perfect element to be reacted with sulphur to make it attain its octet configuration

Hoon2. In words, describe how the changing positions of the sun, moon, and Earthleadthe different moon phases.
zysi [14]

 

<span>As the Sun sets, the moon rises with the tide that faces the Earth fully exposed to sunlight. The moon has phases because of its orbit to Earth which causes the portion we see illuminated to change. The new moon occurs when the moon is positioned  between the earth and the sun. at full moon and third quarter or called as the half moon, it happens when the moon is at a 90 degree angle with respect to the earth and the sun. crescent refers to the moon that is less than half illuminated by the sun. gibbous refers to more than half illuminated by the sun. waxing means growing or expanding in illumination and waning means shrinking or decreasing in illumination.</span>
