Answer:
The configuration of the atom would be 2-8-2.
Explanation:
Any atom of an element combines with other element to complete its octet and become stable.
The electron configuration of the given atom is 2-8-6. That means the atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell. To become stable the atom should have 8 electrons in its outermost shell. The given atom has 6 electrons so it either lose 6 electrons or gain 2 electrons to complete its octet.
But we know the atom having 5,6,7 electrons in its outermost shell they do not lose, they gain either 3 or 2 or 1 electrons to complete its octet.
So we say that atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 bond with the atom having electron configuration 2-8-2.
Answer:
C. 70%
Explanation:
Atomic Mass of the silicon = 28 g.
Atomic mass of the Carbon = 12 g.
Total mass of the Silicon Carbide = 28 + 12
= 40 g.
Now, Using the formula.
% Composition = Mass of the silicon/Total mass of the compound × 100 %
= 28/40 × 100 %
= 70 %
Hence, % composition of the silicon in SiC is 70%
