Answer:
To gain stability
Explanation:
If the outermost shell is not completely filled with electrons, the element has one of the three options: gaining electrons, losing electrons or sharing electrons. By gaining or losing electrons, ionic compounds are produced. Sharing of electrons results in the formation of covalent compounds.
Answer:
The Supreme Court of Appeal
Explanation:
The Supreme Court of Appeal is based in Bloemfontein in the Free State. Except for the Constitutional Court, it is the highest court in South Africa and it only deals with cases sent to it from the High Court.
There are 8 atoms in 2Ca(CIO2)2
B. Increase the volume (in other words, decrease the pressure).
A is wrong because as temperature decreases, the reaction will shift to the left as the system is endothermic (positive delta H).
C. is wrong because as O2 gas is added, the reaction will shift to the left in order to relieve the stress on the system.
D. is wrong because a catalyst will increase the rate of the reaction by decreasing the activation energy. It doesn't affect equilibrium.
B is correct because the left side has two moles of gas while the right side has three moles of gas. Thus, when pressure is decreased (volume is increased--they are inversely related), the system will shift in the direction with more moles of gas.
