Answer:

d. 8

Explanation:

The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell. When atoms have fewer than eight electrons, they tend to react and form more stable compounds.

If a compound contains a poly atomic ion then what type of compound is it A. Convalent Compound B. Ionic Compound
den301095 [7]

Answer:

B. Ionic Compound

Explanation:

An ionic compound is that compound which contains a positively charged ion called CATION and a negatively charged ion called ANION. The cation loses or transfers electrons to the anion, hence, making the former (cation) positive and the latter (anion) negative.

A polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one type of atom e.g OH-, NO3²-, CO3²- etc. A polyatomic ion usually has an overall charge formed from the charges of the individual atoms that makes it up. For example, in OH-, the overall charge is -1.

Since a polyatomic ion can have an overall positive or negative charge, it must enter a reaction with another ion that complements it i.e. a negative polyatomic ion will react with a positive ion to neutralize its charge. Hence, this forms an IONIC COMPOUND. This is why most compounds with polyatomic ions are IONIC COMPOUNDS.

For example, CaCO3 is an ionic compound formed when Ca²+ (cation) reacts with the polyatomic anion: CO3²-

Which of these subatomic particles adds the most mass to an atom?
vivado [14]
The answer for the first question is A. Proton is the subatomic particles which adds most of the mass of an atom as well as the neutron since they have the same mass. Photon, on the other hand, is not one of the subatomic particles.

Given 6193 mL of a gas at 62.3 °C. What is its volume at 38.1 °C?
Luden [163]

Answer:

5746.0 mL.

Explanation:

We can use the general law of ideal gas:<em> PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

If n and P are constant, and have two different values of V and T:

<em>V₁T₂ = V₂T₁</em>

<em></em>

V₁ = 6193.0 mL, T₁ = 62.3°C + 273 = 335.3 K.

V₂ = ??? mL, T₂ = 38.1°C + 273 = 311.1 K.

<em>∴ V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁ </em>= (6193.0 mL)(311.1 K)/(335.3 K) = <em>5746.0 mL.</em>

How to balance <br> Mg + O2 &gt; MgO
katovenus [111]
<span>Mg + O2 > MgO. In reactant side, 2 O atoms and 1 Mg are present. In product side, 1 Mg and O atoms are present. Put 2 in product side to balance O atoms and 2 at Mg in reactant side to balance Mg atoms. Therefore the balanced equation becomes, 2Mg + O2 ----> 2MgO. Hope it helps.</span>
