Describe the octet rule in terms of noble-gas configurations and potential energy

Physics

Elements will gain or lose electrons to form a noble gas configuration. Atoms that meet the octet rule are stable because their valence electrons have a relatively low potential energy. Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

Answer:

Octet rule is the ability of an element to have 8 electrons in its outer shell. This makes the element very stable.

Noble gases are also called stable gases due to their configuration. Noble gases configuration is the ability of an electron to lose or gain electrons so that they can obtain the electronic configuration that noble gases have.

Explanation:

Octet rule in terms of noble-gas configurations and potential energy can be described as the situation which is referred to rule of thumb whereby electrons combine together so that they have eight electrons in their outermost or valence shells which similar to the electronic configuration of noble gases.

Noble gases when they follow the Octet rule have a very low potential energy.

A tiny sphere carrying a charge of 6. 5 µc sits in an electric field, at a point where the electric potential is 240 v. what is
vodka [1.7K]

The sphere’s Electric potential energy is 1.6*10^{-6}J

Given,

q=6. 5 µc, V=240 v,

We know that sphere’s Electric potential energy(E) = qV=6.5*10^{-6} *240=1.6*10^{-6}J

<h3>Electric potential energy</h3>

The configuration of a certain set of point charges within a given system is connected with the potential energy (measured in joules) known as electric potential energy, which is a product of conservative Coulomb forces. Two crucial factors—its inherent electric charge and its position in relation to other electrically charged objects—can determine whether an object has electric potential energy.

In systems with time-varying electric fields, the potential energy is referred to as "electric potential energy," but in systems with time-invariant electric fields, the potential energy is referred to as "electrostatic potential energy."

A tiny sphere carrying a charge of 6. 5 µc sits in an electric field, at a point where the electric potential is 240 v. what is the sphere’s potential energy?

A quantum system has three energy levels, so three wavelengths appear in its emission spectrum. The shortest observed wavelength
zhenek [66]

The atoms of a molecule can vibrate in many waysthese are called the normal modes of vibration. The normal modes have different excitation energies so the Raman spectrum will consist of more than one line. The number of normal modes is easily deduced; if the number of nuclei in the molecule is N, then the total number of degrees of freedom (i.e., the number of coordinates required to specify the positions of all of the nuclei) is 3N. Of these, three account for translation of the molecule as a whole and three more for its rotation. So the third is 314 nm
