Answer:
A. Atoms gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full valence shell
Explanation:
The octet rule is best explained as the process in which atoms lose or gain or share electrons to achieve a full valence shell.
- In this process bonds are formed when there is an attraction between the two substances.
- For electrovalent compounds, an atom will lose electrons or gain electron to form an ion, the electrostatic attraction causes the bond formation.
- Covalent compounds, form by sharing of electrons.
Therefore, the octet rule is attained when atoms gain full valence configuration.
Answer:
c. Species diversity
Explanation:
Because is talking about of organisms, it means, living beings and they are classified like species. There are species of animals and plants
They are more likely to be covalent as covalent compounds usually tend to be radical on the color spectrum with deep purples and blacks and even earwax colored.
Answer:
92.49 %
Explanation:
We first calculate the number of moles n of AgBr in 0.7127 g
n = m/M where M = molar mass of AgBr = 187.77 g/mol and m = mass of AgBr formed = 0.7127 g
n = m/M = 0.7127g/187.77 g/mol = 0.0038 mol
Since 1 mol of Bromide ion Br⁻ forms 1 mol AgBr, number of moles of Br⁻ formed = 0.0038 mol and
From n = m/M
m = nM . Where m = mass of Bromide ion precipitate and M = Molar mass of Bromine = 79.904 g/mol
m = 0.0038 mol × 79.904 g/mol = 0.3036 g
% Br in compound = m₁/m₂ × 100%
m₁ = mass of Br in compound = m = 0.3036 g (Since the same amount of Br in the compound is the same amount in the precipitate.)
m₂ = mass of compound = 0.3283 g
% Br in compound = m₁/m₂ × 100% = 0.3036/0.3283 × 100% = 0.9249 × 100% = 92.49 %
