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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alja [10]2 years ago
7 0

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.

OLga [1]
Each of the organic compounds mentioned has a general formula so that we can identify the classification of a certain substance. The compound CH₃CH₂OH is an alcohol because it follows the general formula R-OH, where R is a hydrocarbon chain. In this case, the hydrocarbon chain is ethane. When a hydroxyl functional group is attached, it becomes an alcohol whose name is ethanol.

How many grams of sodium acetate are in solution in the third beaker?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

46g of sodium acetate.

Explanation:

The data is: <em>Precipitation from a supersaturated sodium acetate solution. The solution on the left was formed by dissolving 156g of the salt in 100 mL of water at 100°C and then slowly cooling it to 20°C. Because the solubility of sodium acetate in water at 20°C is 46g per 100mL of water, the solution is supersaturated. Addition of a sodium acetate crystal causes the excess solute to crystallize from solution.</em>

The third solution is the result of the equilibrium in the solution at 20°C. As the maximum quantity that water can dissolve of sodium acetate at this temperature is 46g per 100mL and the solution has 100mL <em>there are 46g of sodium acetate in solution. </em>The other sodium acetate precipitate because of decreasing of temperature.

I hope it helps!

Why do atoms share electrons in covalent bonds??
ra1l [238]
Atoms in covalent bonds do combine so as to be stable. As covalent bond consist non metals e.g O2 in this example each atom has vacance of 2 orbitals/ electrons so shairing electrons result their stability
