Why do elements form compounds? What elements never form compounds and why?

Chemistry

Alja [10]2 years ago

Answer:

Elements form compounds to satisfy the octet rule. Noble gasses never form compounds because they already satisfy the octet rule.

Explanation:

The octet Rule is the theory that an element will attempt to gain a valence of 8 by binding with another element in it's vicinity. This can happen in a variety of ways, but the main thing to remember is that they will take the "shortest path" to 8(I.e an element will sometimes lose an electron or 2 if it has a valence 1 or 2 to loop back around to 8, while an element with a valence of 6 or 7 will attempt to gain 2 or 1 electrons).

Valence of elements can be counted by group in the image attached.

Group 1 has a valence of 1, Group 2 has a valence of 2, then we move to group 13 which has a valence of 3, group 14 has a valence of 4, group 15 has a valence of 5, group 16 has 6, group 17 has 7, and group 18 is the noble gasses which have 8.

Covert from scientific notation<br> 1.3 x 10¹²=
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

1,300,000,000,000

Explanation:

1.3 x 10^12

We want to convert this from scientific notation.

Tip: in scientific notation the exponent tells you how many place you move the decimal point over. If the exponent is negative you move the decimal point to the left. Ex. For, 4.1 x 10^-8, we would move the decimal point over 8 times to the left to get .00000041. When the exponent is positive we move over to the right. Ex. For, 7.6 x 10^7 we would move the decimal point over 7 times to the right to get 76,000,000

So to convert 1.3 x 10^12 we simply move over the decimal point over 12 times to the right.

1.3 x 10^12 ------> 1,300,000,000,000

Our answer is 1,300,000,000,000
