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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alja [10]3 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.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Let's say we were Subtracting 3-2=? To Find the Answer we would Subtract  2 from 3 which is 1 Simple our answer is 1  But let's say the Question is 3 - 1= ? to find this answer we would subtract 1 from 3 which is 2 Let's say you were subtracting 3-3=? to do this we take 3 away from 3 now 3 is 0 so our answer is 0 so there are 3 different problems we can make with 3 we could make more but I'm just telling the basics Hope I Helped Bye :)

If the mass of the object below is 28g, what is the density of the object below. Units are in cm below. Please round your answer
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

d = 0.93 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of object = 28 g

Volume of object = 3cm×2cm×5cm

density of object = ?

Solution:

Volume of object = 3cm × 2cm ×5cm

Volume of object = 30 cm³

Density of object:

d = m/v

by putting values,

d = 28 g/ 30 cm³

d = 0.93 g/cm³
