Group 6 elements like Oxygen like to take on the extra two electrons to become a 2- anion and take on the noble gas configuration. so the O^2-, which looks like O=O, will have two oxygens sharing two electrons.... answer is O^2-
Answer:
Explanation:
Use the periodic table to identify the noble gas that would be included in the noble-gas notation for each of the following elements.
Si:
Fr:
Hg:
V:
Answer:
Explanation:
To neutralize a chemical to a pH of 7 before discarding, one would require a significant amount of acids or bases. Our best guess is that the solution in itself is either an acid or a base. Neutralization with the right amount of a proper reagent can bring the pH of the solution to a neutral 7.
If the solution has a pH originally greater than 7, add a corresponding amount of acid to it. This will reduce the concentration and bring it to a neutral point. Provided one is dealing with a solution of pH less than 7, simply add a base to to bring the solution to neutrality.
