Answer:
atoms tend to react in order to gain 8 valence electrons
Explanation:
The octet rule describes the tendency of atoms of elements to react in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell. This is because having eight valence electrons confers stability to the atoms of these elements in the compounds they form.
The octet rule only does not apply to the transition elements or the inner transition elements as only the s and p electrons are involved. the electronic configuration in atoms having an octet is s²p⁶.
For example, sodium atom has one valence electron in its valence shell but a complete octet in the inner shell; it will react with chlorine atom which has seven valence electrons to form a stable compound, sodium chloride by donating its one valence electron in order to have an octet. Similarly, the chlorine atom will then have an octet by accepting the one electron from sodium atom.
Answer:
OCO
Another way of writing CO₂
Explanation:
A reaction equation has <u>reactants on the left</u> and <u>products on the right</u>.
The reactants are carbon and oxygen. The product is carbon dioxide.
C + O₂ → CO₂
You might see the equation both ways.
C + O₂ → OCO
C + O₂ in the products would mean no reaction has occurred. The problem can <u>solid carbon can burn in oxygen</u>, so a reaction will occur. For no reaction, you would put "NR" in the products.
<u>OCO is the structural way of writing CO₂.</u> Both have one carbon atom (C) and two oxygen atoms (O).
C + 2O is not possible. Oxygen, if alone, has to be at least O₂ because it's a <u>diatomic molecule</u>.
An ionic compound consists of a metal AND a non-metal.
<em>Option A:</em>
Oxygen and fluorine are non-metals.
<em>Option B:</em>
Sodium and aluminium are non-metals.
<em>Option C:</em>
Calcium is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal.
<em>Option D:</em>
Nitrogen and sulfur are non-metals.
Thus, the answer is C.
Answer: The number of grams of 
in 1620 mL is 1.44 g
Explanation:
According to ideal gas equation:
P = pressure of gas = 1 atm (at STP)
V = Volume of gas = 1620 ml = 1.62 L (1L=1000ml)
n = number of moles = ?
R = gas constant =
T =temperature =
Mass of hydrogen =
The number of grams of in 1620 mL is 1.44 g
