The nuclei of atoms become unstable when the repelling forces of the protons cannot be balanced by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. It then re-arranges itself randomly to a more stable configuration by emitting any of a series of particles. During radioactive decay, an atom does not collapse.
Since an atom is mostly empty space - that is it’s nucleus is relatively distant from the electron shells so, in the presence of extreme forces such as gravity inthe collapse of a large star, the inward pressures on the atom overcome the natural balance of the atomic structure and the ‘empty space’ disappears as nuclei are mashed together by the intense pressures and a neutron star is formed. Under even more external pressure, even the neutron star can collapse to form a black hole.

Kindly check the attached images below to see the step by step explanation to the question above.
Balanced equation is
HBr + NaOH ----> NaBr + H2O
Using molar masses
80.912 g HBr reacts with 39.997 g of Naoh to give 18.007 g water
so 1 gram of NaOH reacts with 2.023 g of HBR
and 5.7 reacts with 11.531 g HBr so we have excess HBr in this reaction
Mass of water produced = (5.7 * 18.007 / 39.997 = 2.6 g to 2 sig figs
Any element in group 18 has eight valence electrons (except for helium, which has a total of just two electrons). Examples include neon (Ne), argon (Ar), and krypton (Kr). Oxygen, like all the other elements in group 16, has six valence electrons.
