What does the octet rule state that explains why atoms bond

dezoksy [38]

The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects observation that atoms of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas. The rule is especially applicable to carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens, but also to metals such as sodium or magnesium.

The valence electrons can be counted using a Lewis electron dot diagram as shown at the right for carbon dioxide. The electrons shared by the two atoms in a covalent bond are counted twice, once for each atom. In carbon dioxide each oxygen shares four electrons with the central carbon, two (shown in red) from the oxygen itself and two (shown in black) from the carbon. All four of these electrons are counted in both the carbon octet and the oxygen octet.

The radioactive substance cesium-137 has a half-life of 30 years. The amount At (in grams) of a sample of cesium-137 remaining a

stealth61 [152]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of sample left after 20 years is 288.522 g and after 50 years is 144.26 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given a function that calculates the amount of sample remaining after 't' years, which is:

$A_t(t)=458\times (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{30}$

<u>For t = 20 years</u>

Putting values in above equation:

$A_t(t)=458\times (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{20}{30}$

$A_t(t)=288.522g$

Hence, the amount of sample left after 20 years is 288.522 g

<u>For t = 50 years</u>

Putting values in above equation:

$A_t(t)=458\times (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{50}{30}$

$A_t(t)=144.26g$

Hence, the amount of sample left after 50 years is 144.26 g

This problem is providing us with the recommended maintenance dose of penicillin for children as 1.0 mg/kg/hr by injection. Thus, the delivery rate for a 40-pound child is required, if 10 mL of a 25 mg/mL solution of penicillin is added to a 100-mL bottle of saline. At the end, the result is 8.0 mL/hr:

<h3>Dimensional analysis:</h3>

In chemistry, dimensional analysis allows us to obtain a specific result given relevant information about it. Although a formula is not always provided, one can use the units as a reference for the calculations.

For example, this problem asks for the rate, in mL/hr, at which a child gets this dose, so the first step will be to get the mass of the child in kilograms:

$40 lb*\frac{0.4536kg}{1lb}= 18.144kg$
