Answer:

8 electrons (e-)

Explanation:

In the atom of every elements, there are three sub-atomic particles namely: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The protons are the positively charged particles, the electrons are negatively charged while the neutrons are neutrally charged.

In an uncharged or neutral atom i.e. charge 0, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons because they cancel each other out. When a difference occurs in the number of these particles, the atom becomes charged i.e. an ion. According to this question, oxygen atom (O) contains 8 positively charged protons, this means that it also contains 8 negatively charged electrons in its atom.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

It is a sigma bond

Explanation:

Chlorine has an electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5. This means that the outermost n=3 level has seven electrons. Hence one more electron is needed for the octet of outermost electrons to be achieved. As a result of this, chlorine enters into covalent bonding with another chlorine atom to form Cl2.

The outermost 3p electrons of the two chlorine atoms are now shared to form a p-p sigma bond (a single bond). Hence, the Cl2 molecule contains a sigma(single) bond between two chlorine atoms. Hence the answer written above.

Calculate the standard cell potential at 25 ∘c for the reaction x(s)+2y+(aq)→x2+(aq)+2y(s) where δh∘ = -793 kj and δs∘ = -319 j/
QveST [7]
First we will calculate free energy change:
ΔG₀ = ΔH₀ - (T * ΔS₀)
        = - 793 kJ - (298 * - 0.319 kJ/K) = - 698 kJ
We know the relation between free energy change and cell potential is:
ΔG₀ = - n F E⁰ where
F = Faraday's constant = 96485 C/mol
n = 2 (given by equation that the electrons involved is 2)
ΔG₀ = - 2 x 96485 x E⁰
- 698 kJ = - 2 x 96485 x E⁰
E⁰ = (698 x 1000) / (2 x 96485) = 3.62 volts
