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).

Answer:

Explanation:

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.

C. The number of Valence electrons,
Every atom tries to follow the Octet rule i.e To have 8 electrons in its Valence shell.
Every atom tries to accomodate 8 electrons in its Valence shell to stabilize themselves, Metals usually have 1-3 eletrons in their Valence shell which they donate to non metals so their Valnce shell has 8 electroons, (The previous will now be the Valence shell and it will be full)
Similarly Non metals have 4-7 electrons, they accept electrons from metals so they can have 8 electrons in their Valence shell.
Noble gases already have 8 electrons in their Valance shell, so they do not react and stable.

Hope it helps :)

For a cell whose potential is -0.46 v with 3 moles of electrons exchanged, what is DG?
Feliz [49]
ΔG = -nEF

ΔG = Gibbs free energy change
n = moles of electrones participated in
E = Electrode potential
F = Faraday constant

By substituting,
ΔG = -(3 mol) x 96485 A S/ mol x (-0.46) V
      = + 133149.3 J
      = + 133 kJ

Hence the answer is "b".

Since ΔG is a positive value, the reaction is non spontaneous reaction.
