Answer:
B) They will react because X and Y can share two pairs of electrons to become stable
Explanation:
The electron configurations of two elements x and y are given :
X: 1s2 2s2 2p6
Y: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
The statement that is true for both the elements is that, they both will react as they both can share two pairs of electrons to become stable.
To become stable the outermost shell or p orbital should have 8 electrons, so element X can gain 2 atoms to become stable.
Element Y can also react as it can also share two atoms to fulfill its 3p orbital and will stable.
Hence, the correct option is "B".
The answer to your question is C.)
Answer:
32.3 dm³
Explanation:
Data given:
no. of molecules of Cl₂ = 8.7 x 10²³
Volume of chlorine gas (Cl₂) = ?
Solution:
First we have to find number of moles
For this formula used
no. of moles = no. of molecules / Avogadros number
no. of moles = 8.7 x 10²³ / 6.022 x 10²³
no. of moles = 1.44 moles
Now we have to find volume of the gas
for this formula used
no. of moles = volume of gas / molar volume
molar volume = 22.4 dm³/mol
Put values in above equation
1.44 moles = volume of Cl₂ gas / 22.4 dm³/mol
rearrange the above equation
volume of Cl₂ gas = 1.44 moles x 22.4 dm³/mol
volume of Cl₂ gas = 32.3 dm³
