Answer:

neon

Explanation:

The octet rule states that atoms of elements are stable when they possess 8 electrons on their outermost shell.

Hence, atoms of elements participate in chemical reactions in order to attain this octet structure (eight electrons in the outermost shell).

Neon is a noble gas and already has eight electrons in its outermost shell. Hence, neon is least likely to obey the octet rule.

What is the percent yield of O2 if 10.2 g of O2 is produced from the decomposition of 17.0 g of H2O?
yawa3891 [41]

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

2H2O = 2H2 + O2

<span>We are given the amount of water used in the decomposition reaction. This will be our starting point.</span>

<span>17.0 g H2O</span> (1 mol  H2O/ 18.02 g H2O) (1 mol O2/2 mol <span>H2O</span>) ( 32.00 g O2/1mol O2) = 15.09 g O2

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100

<span>Percent yield =10.2 g / 15.09  g x 100</span>

Percent yield = 67.58%
