It depends on how many electrons are already in the outer shell.
If it is a large amount (if it is almost to the maximum), then it will want to borrow from another atom.
But if it is close to empty then it will want to give away so it will go back to the inner ring with will be full.
Hope this helps, good luck!

Answer:
1) The limiting reactant is N₂ because it is present with the lower no. of moles than H₂.
2) The amount (in grams) of excess reactant H₂ = 4.39 g.
Explanation:
- Firstly, we should write the balanced equation of the reaction:
<em>N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃.</em>
<em>1) To determine the limiting reactant of the reaction:</em>
- From the stichiometry of the balanced equation, 1.0 mole of N₂ reacts with 3.0 moles of H₂ to produce 2.0 moles of NH₃.
- This means that <em>N₂ reacts with H₂ with a ratio of (1:3).</em>
- We need to calculate the no. of moles (n) of N₂ (5.23 g) and H₂ (5.52 g) using the relation:<em> n = mass / molar mass.</em>
The no. of moles of N₂ in (5.23 g) = mass / molar mass = (5.23 g) / (28.00 g/mol) = 0.1868 mol.
The no. of moles of H₂ (5.52 g) = mass / molar mass = (5.52 g) / (2.015 g/mol) = 2.74 mol.
- From the stichiometry, N₂ reacts with H₂ with a ratio of (1:3).
The ratio of the reactants of N₂ (5.23 g, 0.1868 mol) to H₂ (5.52 g, 2.74 mol) is (1:14.67).
∴ The limiting reactant is N₂ because it is present with the lower no. of moles than H₂.
0.1868 mol of N₂ react completely with 0.5604 mol of H₂ and the remaining of H₂ is in excess.
<em>2) To determine the amount (in grams) of excess reactant of the reaction:</em>
- As showed in the part 1, The limiting reactant is N₂ because it is present with the lower no. of moles than H₂.
- Also, 0.1868 mol of N₂ react completely with 0.5604 mol of H₂ and the remaining of H₂ is in excess.
- The no. of moles are in excess of H₂ = 2.74 mol - 0.5604 mol (reacted with N₂) = 2.1796 mol.
- ∴ The amount (in grams) of excess reactant H₂ = n (excess moles) x molar mass = (2.1796 mol)((2.015 g/mol) = 4.39 g.
Answer:
D. Gases were released to the atmosphere
Explanation:
In accordance to the law of conservation of mass, the total amount of reactants must equate the total amount of products at the end of the reaction because matter can not be lost or created. However, certain changes like gas evolution, formation of precipitate etc. indicates the occurrence of a chemical reaction.
In a chemical reaction, the total mass of the product(s) would be less than the total weight of the reactant(s) because GASES, which constituted part of the mass of the reaction, WERE RELEASED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. However, if the mass of the gas released can be accounted for, the amount of reactants and products must balance.
