Explanation:
Hydrogen does not obey the octet rule. Boron does not always
obey the octet rule and in fact forms Lewis acids such as BF3 which
only has 6 electrons.
Answer:
2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons
Explanation:
An atom of a certain element reacts with the atoms of other elements in order to fullfill its outermost shell (called valence shell).
We notice the following:
- The elements in Group 1 (which are metals) have only 1 electron in their valence shell
- The elements in Group 17 (which are non-metals) have 1 vacancy (lack of electron) in their valence shell
This means that in order for both an atom of group 1 and an atom of group 17 to fullfill the valence shell, they have to:
- The atom in group 1 has to give away its only electron of the valence shell
- The atom in group 17 has to gain one electron in order to fullfill the shell
Therefore, the correct option is
2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons
Answer:
kL, dL, mL, pL
Explanation:
pL stands for picoliters. This is equal to 1 × 10⁻¹² (0.000000000001) liters.
mL stands for milliliters. This is equal to 1 × 10⁻³ (0.001) liters.
dL stands for deciliters. This is equal to 1 × 10⁻¹ (0.1) liters.
kL stands for kiloliters. This is equal to 1 × 10³ (1000) liters.
A force of attraction that holds atom together
<span>When atoms react they form a chemical bond which is defined as a force of attraction that holds atom together. A force of attraction is defined as a kind of force that draws two or more objects together regardless of distance. There are two major categories of forces of attraction, one is intramolecular and intermolecular. Intramolecular forces is the presence of forces in atoms internally. While intermolecular is the force by which the force that is existent in two or more elements. </span>
