In order for a nonmetal to obey the octet rule, it____.

Chemistry

Bingel [31]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.

Write a hypothesis about the pH level of common household solutions based on what you know about their physical and chemical pro
docker41 [41]

If pH is less than seven (pH<7), solution is acidic.

If pH is equal seven (pH = 7), solution is neutral.  

If pH is greater than seven (pH > 7), solution is basic.  

Some examples:

1) Acidic - gastric juices pH 1, lemon juice pH 2.2, tomato juice pH 4.

2) Neutral - salt solution pH 7.

3) Alkaline - baking soda pH 9, bleach pH 13.

pH is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.

An analytical chemist has determined by measurements that there are 96.5 moles of carbon in a sample of acetic acid. how many mo
Nadya [2.5K]
The formula of acetic acid is CH3COOH => C2H4O2.

So, the acetic acid has the same number of atoms of carbon (C) than of oxygen (O).

Therefore, the sample that contains 96.5 moles of carbon, will contain also 96.5 moles of O.

Answer: 96.5 moles of oxygen.

Glycolysis is the process by which energy is harvested from glucose by living things. Several of the reactions of glycolysis are
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

1. Options A and B

2. Options B and C

3.. B. Net ∆G = -16.7 KJ/mol; C. Net ∆G = -14.2 KJ/mol

Explanation:

1. The spontaneity of a chemical reaction depends on its standard free energy change, ∆G. If ∆G is negative, the reaction is favourable, but when it is positive, the reaction is unfavorable.

Therefore, since reaction A and B have ∆G to be positive, they are unfavorable

2. Coupling an unfavorable reaction to a favourable reaction can help the reaction to proceed in the forward direction as long as the net free energy change is negative.

Coupling reaction A and C, as well as reaction B and C will make the reactions to become favourable as net ∆G is negative in both instances.

3. A and C: net ∆G = 13.8 - 30.5 = -16.7 KJ/mol

B and C: net ∆G = 16.3- 30.5 = -14.2 KJ/mol

Describe at least three ways our understanding of the atom has changed. See the hint in the reference image.
abruzzese [7]
The first model of the atom was developed by JJ Thomson in 1904, who thought that atoms were composed purely of negatively charged electrons.

This theory was then disproved by Ernest Rutherford and the gold foil experiment in 1911, where Rutherford shot alpha particles at gold foil, and noticed that some went through and some bounced back, implying the existence of a positive nucleus.

In 1926, the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger created a quantum mechanical model of the atom by combining the equations for the behavior of waves with the de Broglie equation to generate a mathematical model for the distribution of electrons in an atom.
