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).

A sample of gas has a volume of 215 cm3 at 23.5 degrees Celsius and 84.6kPa what volume will the gas occupy at stp
miss Akunina [59]

The volume of the gas that occupy at STP is 165. 28 cm^3

calculation

by use of combined gas law that is P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2, where

P1=84.6 kpa

T1=23.5 +273=296.5 K

V1=215 cm^3

At STP T= 273 K and P= 101.325 Kpa

therefore p2 = 101.325 Kpa and T2 = 272 K V2=?

by making V2 the subject of the formula V2 =T2P1V1/P2T1

V2 = 273 K x 84.6 Kpa x 215 cm^3/ 101,.325 Kpa x296.5 K =165.28 cm^3
