Chemistry

Answer:

> Octet, in chemistry, the eight-electron arrangement in the outer electron shell of the noble-gas atoms. This structure is held responsible for the relative inertness of the noble gases and the chemical behaviour of certain other elements.

> Referring to the octet rule, atoms attempt to get a noble gas electron configuration, which is eight valence electrons. Sodium has one valence electron, so giving it up would result in the same electron configuration as neon. Chlorine has seven valence electrons, so if it takes one it will have eight (an octet).

Why is there a pop sound when a burning splint is extinguished in a test tube filled with hydrogen gas?
AveGali [126]
Hydrogen is actually a combustible gas. But when you try to burn it, it explodes. However when you produce hydrogen in a laboratory, which is relatively less, and put a burning splint, it also explodes, but  in a reduced form - a <span>POP </span><span>sound. The very small explosion (doesn't feel like one, does it?) extinguishes the flame.</span>
