Answer: The correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.
Explanation:
Hello! Let's solve this!
We will analyze each of the options:
A. The group number of the element provides a clue to the number of valence electrons: it is correct, since it provides the number of valence electrons.
B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable: this is not correct, since elements with eight electrons in the valence shell cannot react because they already have the last complete shell. Therefore, they are chemically stable.
C. The points must be placed one at a time on each side of the chemical symbol: it is correct, because that is the way to make the point diagram.
D. An atom is chemically stable if all the points are paired: this is correct since this verifies that the point diagram has been done well.
We conclude that the correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.
Hope this helps..... Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! :D
In order for carbon to be stable and have 8 electrons, it must make 4 total covalent bonds.
In prefer for oxygen to be stable and have 8 electrons, it must make 2 covalent bonds.
So, we can deduce that CO2 looks like this:
O=C=O
This molecule has two double bonds.

Radius of Xenon = 1.3Ă—10â’8 cm
Volume = 100 ml = 0.1 L
Pressure P = 1.2 atm = 121.59 Kpa
Temperature = 281 K
R = Gas Constant = 8.31 J mol^-1 K^-1
Now find the number of atoms
PV = nRT => n = PV / RT
n = (121.59 x 0.1) / (8.31 x 281) = / 2335.11 = 0.0052
Number of atoms in a mole is same as Avogadro constant A, which is 6.02 x
10^23 particles.
n = number of atoms= 0.0052
N = number of particles
Avogadro constant A = 6.02 x 10^23
n = N/A => N = n x A = 0.0052 x 6.02 x 106^23 = 3.13 x 10^20
Volume of Xe atom which would be a sphere = (4/3) x pi x r^3
Volume = = (4/3) x 3.14 x (1.3Ă—10â’8)^3 = 9.2 x 10^-24
Volume occupied by these particles = n x Volume = 3.13 x 10^20 x 9.2 x
10^-24 = 0.00288
Fraction of volume will be = 0.00288 / 0.1 = 0.0288

Explanation:
A drying tube prevents moisture from contaminating the reactants. The drying tube contains CaCl2 a hygroscopic material whose function is to absorb the moisture so that it does not react with the Grignard reagent. Without the desiccating action of CaCl2, moisture will enter the reaction chamber,contaminating the reactants.
If water reacts with the Grignard reagent, an alkane is formed. The mechanism of this reaction is shown in the image attached. R here represents the alkyl moiety of the Grignard reagent.
