From own experience, I know that OsO4 is colorless, but Cr2O3 is actually a solid green from what I have seen. but I guess it could appear yellow-greenish.

Answer is: OsO₄ (osmium tetroxide or osmium(VIII) oxide).

Osmium(VIII) is colourless, but most samples appear yellow, because of the presence of the impurity OsO₂ (osmium(IV) oxide), which is yellow-brown in colour.

Cr₂O₃ (chromium(III) oxide) is light to dark green compound. It is used as a pigment. In this chemical compound chromium has oxidation number +3.

Fudgin [204]

The electron configuration filling patterns of some elements in group 6b(6) and group 1b(11) reflect the increasing stability of half-filled and completely filled sublevels.

<h2>What is electronic configuration?</h2>

The distribution of electrons in an element's atomic orbitals is described by the element's electron configuration. Atomic subshells that contain electrons are placed in a series, and the number of electrons that each one of them holds is indicated in superscript for all atomic electron configurations. For instance, sodium's electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s1.

Almost all of the elements write their electronic configurations in the same style. When the energies of two subshells differ, an electron from the lower energy subshell occasionally goes to the higher energy subshell.

This is due to two factors:

Symmetrical distribution: As is well known, stability is a result of symmetry. Because of the symmetrical distribution of electrons, orbitals where the sub-shell is exactly half-full or totally filled are more stable.

Energy exchange: The electrons in degenerate orbitals have a parallel spin and are prone to shifting positions. The energy released during this process is simply referred to as exchange energy. The greatest number of exchanges occurs when the orbitals are half- or fully-filled. Its stability is therefore at its highest.

Based on their positions in the periodic table, which two elements would most readily combine to make a stable compound? A. hydr
Gekata [30.6K]

D. Sodium and Chlorine


Sodium has 1 electron and Chlorine has 7 electrons. For a compound to be stable, they must have 8 electrons. NaCl = 8 electrons


Fun Fact- You eat NaCl everyday. It's table salt which you put in food.

Burning a candle melts the wax, but also burns the wick. Explain how burning a candle involves both physical and chemical change
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Burning of the candle is both physical and chemical change. Burning of the candle melts the wax and hence physical state of wax has changed from solid to liquid.  

Again the wax combines with the atmospheric oxygen and changes to carbon dioxide, heat and light.  

Thus both the changes are accompanied by the burning of the candle.

Explanation:

hope this helps!
