Answer:

O, S, Se, Te, Po

Explanation:

Oxygen, sulphur, selenium, tellurium and polonium are all members of group sixteen. The elements in group sixteen all possess six electrons in their outermost shell. Recall that an atom is said to stable if it contains eight electrons in its outermost shell. This is also referred to as the octet rule. Hence atoms of elements obey the octet rule when they combine to form compounds with eight electrons present on the outermost shell of each atom.

Having six electrons on their outermost shell implies that they need to gain two electrons by bonding to other atoms of other elements. Two examples will suffice here.

Water is formed when an oxygen atom shares an electron with each hydrogen atoms.

Hydrogen sulphide is formed when sulphur share two electrons with two hydrogen atoms. Hence the answer.

Answer:

O, S, Se, Te, Po

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, when chemical bonds are formed, the valence electrons are the bridge to make it possible, nevertheless, the octet is the limit for the formation of bonds, that is, an element must not exceed 8 shared or gained electrons. In such a way, elements able to gain to electrons to attain the octet are those from the VIA group: O, S, Se, Te, Po, as they have six valence electrons, so two more electrons are suitable for attaining the octet.

Best regards.

What are the advantages of using digital signals over analog signals?
Studentka2010 [4]

in digital signals, codes are used while in analogue signals do not use signals.

<h3>What are signals?</h3>

Signals are defined as the instructions which are transferred to another source in other to deliver a message.

There are two types of signals which include the digital and analogue signals.

The digital signals uses codes which is a secret way of sending messages while analogue doesn't use codes.

What is the relationship between density and viscosity?
PolarNik [594]

Answer:There is no relationship between the viscosity and density of a fluid. While viscosity is the thickness or thinness of a fluid, density refers to the space between its particles. However, both properties are affected by temperature. When a fluid is heated, its particles move far apart, and it also becomes less viscous.

Which of the following is an acceptable IUPAC name?(A) 3,6-dimethylheptane (B) 2-ethyl-3-methylheptane (C) 5-methyl-3-ethylhepta
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

D) 4-ethyl-4-methylheptane

Explanation:

The rules for naming of alkanes with substituents.

1. The carbon chain with the maximum number of carbon atoms must be selected as a parent chain.

2.Numbering should be done in such a way that each substituent gets the least number.

3. Substituents whose name comes before the another substituents's name in the English alphabet is written first.

4. Substituents are written first with their location in the chain and the name of the parent chain is done. Numbers are separated from numbers by comma and numbers are separated from letters by using hyphen.

Considering (a) 3,6-dimethylheptane

<u>Violation of Rule - 2 mentioned above</u>

The numbering of the parent chain is not done in a right way. Numbering must be done such that each substituent gets the least number. So, The correct name is 2,5-dimethylheptane

Considering (b) 2-ethyl-3-methylheptane

<u>Violation of Rule - 1 mentioned above.</u>

The carbon chain with the maximum number of carbon atoms must be selected as a parent chain. The parent chain selected is of 7 carbon atoms but the parent chain is of 8 carbon atoms. So, The correct name is 3,4-dimethyloctane

Considering (c) 5-methyl-3-ethylheptane

<u>Violation of Rule - 3 mentioned above.</u>

'e' comes before 'm' . So, ethyl- is written first than methyl- . So, The correct name is 3,6-dimethyloctane

Considering (d) 4-ethyl-4-methylheptane

<u>This is a IUPAC name and following all the rules mentioned above.</u>
