The outer shell electrons are only involved in the bonding process since they are the only 'incomplete' shell and it needs to be fulfilled by another element.

PLEASE HURRY! What is the name of this alkane?

belka [17]

Answer:

C. 1-ethyl, 3-methylcyclohexane

(Photo for proof at the bottom.)

Explanation:

The 1-ethyl is because you start numbering from the longest branch, towards the next closest branch. Prefix "eth-" means two, there are 2 carbons in the longest branch. 3-methyl is because the next branch is at number 3, and prefix "meth-" means 1, there is 1 carbon in that chain. "Cyclo" in cyclohexane means the skeletal model is shaped like a ring, and the "hexane" means there are 6 carbons in the ring. Prefix "hex" means 6.

What is the most likely charge on an ion formed by an element with a valence electron configuration of ns2np4

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

For an element to be stable, it must follow the octet rule: an atom will gain, lose or share electrons until its valence shell is complete with 8 electrons.

An element with the valence electron configuration ns²np⁴ has 6 (2+4) electrons in its valence shell. Thus, in order to fulfill the octet, it will gain 2 electrons. As a consequence, it will form an anion with charge 2-.
