Answer:
When the two atoms move towards each other a compound is formed by sharing electron pairs supplied by each of the atoms to enable them have the stable 8 (octet) valency electrons in their outermost shell
Explanation:
The electronic configuration of the given element can be written as follows;
1s²2s²2p⁴
The given electronic configuration is equivalent to that of oxygen, therefore, we have;
The number of electrons in the valence shell = 2 + 4 = 6 electrons
Therefore, each atom requires 2 electrons to complete its 8 (octet) electrons in the outermost shell
When the two atoms move towards each other, they react and combine to form a compound by sharing 4 electrons, 2 from each atom, such that each atom can have an extra 2 electrons in its outermost orbit in the newly formed compound and the stable octet configuration is attained by each of the atoms in the newly formed compound.

Explanation:
6. When insulating materials rub against each other, they may become electrically charged .
7. Charging by conduction involves the contact of a charged object to a neutral object.
8. Grounding is the process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial size.
9. Grounding is the process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial size.
Answer:
This is a coal combustion process and we will assume
Inlet coal amount = 100kg
It means that there are
15kg of H2O, 2kg of Sulphur and 83kg of Carbon
Now to find the mole fraction of SO2(g) in the exhaust?
Molar mass of S = 32kg/kmol
Initial moles n of S = 2/32 = 0.0625kmols
Reaction: S + O₂ = SO₂
That is 1 mole of S reacts with 1 mole of O₂ to give 1 mole of SO₂
Then, it means for 0.0625 kmoles of S, we will have 0.0625 kmole of SO2 coming out of the exhaust
The mole fraction of SO2(g) in the exhaust=0.0625kmols
