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.
Answer:
A base.
Explanation:
Basic solutions give OH- ions.
Explanation:
We are given: entropy of Fe2O3 = 90J/K.mol
: entropy of C = 5.7J/K.mol
: entropy of Fe = 27.2J/K.mol
: entropy of CO = 198J/K.mol
Answer:
The correct answer is C.
