Answer: C)Anion, it would gain 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule.
Explanation:
Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.
The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and thus the electronic configuration of oxygen with 8 electrons is
The cation is formed by loss of electrons and anions are formed by gain of electrons.
In order to complete its octet and get stable, it gains 2 electrons and thus would form an anion.
Answer:
chlorine has higher ionization than carbon
Explanation:
Chlorine is only one row below carbon, but it is three columns to the right in this case the IP of chlorine would be predicted to be greater than the IP of carbon.
The answer is motion, this is what I would go with because when you are dealing with gases it puts motion in the term of particles.
Answer : The approximate relation Celsius = 1/2 Fahrenheit is a better approximation at higher temperatures
Explanation :
The formula for Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion is
At lower temperature the value that needs to be subtracted (32) is large enough as a result the approximation "celsius = 1/2 fahrenheit " does not seem valid.
For example, 50 F is 10°C.
This is almost 1/5 of Fahrenheit temperature.
But at higher temperatures , the value becomes insignificant and also the ratio 5/9 tend to be equal to 0.5.
For example, 2000 F is 1093°C
This is almost half of Fahrenheit temperature.
Therefore , the approximate relation Celsius = 1/2 Fahrenheit is a better approximation at higher temperatures
