How does the octet rule relate to how active an element is?

Chemistry
1 answer:
jekas [21]3 years ago
5 0

Octet rule states that an atom or element in the periodic table tends to combine with other atoms or elements and tries to attain 8 electrons in the outermost shell like the noble gas to attain stability.

1. So those elements which can easily attain octet rule are highly active.

eg: Sodium and chlorine.

Sodium has one outermost electron and can attain octet rule by losing this one electron

Chlorine has 7 outhermost electron and can attain octet rule by gaining one electron.

So Sodium and Chlorine are highly active as they can easily attain stability by losing or gaining one electron to attain octet.

2. And thus octet rule easily explains why an element or atom is highly active.

oee [108]

Answer:

The concentration of the newly prepared solution is 8 * 10^-5 M

Explanation:

The most common way to solve this problem is to use the following formula

c1*V1 = c2*V2

with c1 = 1 * 10^-3 M

with V1 = 20 mL = 0.02 L

with c2 = TO BE DETERMINED

with V2 = 250 mL = O.250 L

10^-3 * 0.02 L = c2 * 0.250L

0.00002 = c2 * 0.250L

c2 = 0.00002 / 0.250 L

c2 = 0.00008 M = 8 * 10^-5 M

The concentration of the newly prepared solution is 8 * 10^-5 M

Which of the following best represents potential energy being converted to kinetic energy? HELP
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

B) A drawn bow is released, causing an arrow to fly across the field

Explanation:

Potential energy can be thought of as "potential" to do something. For eg, putting a ball on top of hill causes the ball to have the potential to roll down the hill if released. Here the ball converts the potential energy into kinetic energy (energy of motion) to roll down.

Similarly, the bow has been stretched (potential to fly if released), and when its released, it converts the potential energy into kinetic energy.
