Why does one Oxygen atom bond with two Hydrogen atoms to form water? Why don't they bond in a different ratio?

This is because oxygen (2.8.6) requires two electrons on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2.8.8). Hydrogen (1) on the other hand requires one electron on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2). Therefore in a covalent bond, it requires two hydrogen and one oxygen to share electrons and achieve stable configuration.

You have a gas at a volume of 9.71 L at a pressure of 209 torr and at 10.1 °C. What
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

219.95 °C

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of gas = 9.71 L

Initial pressure = 209 torr (209/760 = 0.275 atm)

Initial temperature = 10.1 °C (10.1 +273 = 283.1 K)

Final temperature = ?

Final pressure = 364 torr (364/760 =0.479 atm)

Solution:

According to Gay-Lussac Law,

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

Now we will put the values in formula:

0.275 atm / 283.1 K = 0.479 atm/T₂

T₂ = 0.479 atm × 283.1 K/ 0.275 atm

T₂ = 135.6 atm. K /0.275 atm

T₂ = 493.1 K

Kelvin to °C:

493.1 K - 273.15 = 219.95 °C

3. What is the easiest way to create electron configurations?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

To calculate an electron configuration, divide the periodic table into sections to represent the atomic orbitals, the regions where electrons are contained. Groups one and two are the s-block, three through 12 represent the d-block, 13 to 18 are the p-block and the two rows at the bottom are the f-block.Explanation:
