What is the most likely charge on an ion formed by an element with a valence electron configuration of ns2np4

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

2-

Explanation:

For an element to be stable, it must follow the octet rule: an atom will gain, lose or share electrons until its valence shell is complete with 8 electrons.

An element with the valence electron configuration ns²np⁴ has 6 (2+4) electrons in its valence shell. Thus, in order to fulfill the octet, it will gain 2 electrons. As a consequence, it will form an anion with charge 2-.

What do the conclusions tell about the experiment?
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

When you perform a experiment to test your hypothesis (your educated guess on what you think will happen) you complete trials to find data that is reliable and valid so you are only getting the best possible results. After you complete the experiment you write your conclusion which is when you take the data and you say if the data supported your hypothesis, if you did guess correctly at the beginning of the experiment. Which means the answer is option C "the conclusions tell why the data support or reject the hypothesis."

Hope this helps.
