Answer:

Neon is the tenth element of the periodic table and the second of the noble gases. The element is incredibly non-reactive because of its electron configuration. It has a "happy" electron orbital that is filled with eight electrons.

Oxygen's high reactivity is due to its biradical electron configuration. As shown in a molecular orbital drawing of O2, the two unpaired electrons make the molecule highly susceptible to bond formation. Oxygen has two allotropes (dioxygen, O2, and ozone, O3), both excellent oxidizing agents (Table P2).

Which statement most completely describes the role of the cell in a single celled organism
Gwar [14]

<span>Many life forms consist of a single cell. As well as simple bacteria, there are more complex organisms, known as protoctists. Unlike bacteria, they have complex internal structures, such as nuclei containing organized strands of genetic material called chromosomes. Most are single-celled, but some form colonies, with each cell, usually remaining self-sufficient.
</span>
Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms whose cells lack a nucleus. A nucleus is a dense are in a cell that contains nucleic acids the chemical instructions that direct the cell's activities.

Salad oil floats on water. Water has a density of 1.0 g/cm3. What can you say about the density of the salad oil?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Density of the oil is lesser than that of the water

Explanation:

The density of water is given as 1.0g/cm³.

  Salad oil is found to float on water, this implies that the density of this salad oil is lesser than that of the water.

  • When the density of a substance is greater than another, it will sink. If the density of the salad oil is greater than that of water, then it will sink and not float.
  • Since the oil floats on water, the density of the oil is lesser than that of the water.

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

A carbocation is an example of a(an) ____. Does a carbocation accept a pair of electrons, or does it donate a pair of electrons?
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Option A. The carbocation accepts a pair of electrons.

Explanation:

A carbocation is defined as a positively charged carbon, which is bound to 3 substituents. Since it has no electrons  nonbonding, it only has six electrons in its valence shell. With only six electrons in its valence shell, a carbocation is a powerful electrophile (and Lewis acid) and can react with any nucleophile that is found.

Carbocations are proposed as intermediates in many  organic reactions. They also work like free radicals, which are electron-deficient species.

Same as free radicals, the carbocations are stabilized by alkyl substituents.
