Answer: C)Anion, it would gain 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule.
Explanation:
Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.
The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and thus the electronic configuration of oxygen with 8 electrons is

The cation is formed by loss of electrons and anions are formed by gain of electrons.
In order to complete its octet and get stable, it gains 2 electrons and thus would form an anion.

The volume of oxygen required to burn 12.00 L ethane is calculated as follows
find the moles of C2H6 used
At STP 1 mole is always = 22.4 L, what about 12.00 L
= ( 12.00L x 1 moles) 22.4 L = 0.536 moles
write the reacting equation
2C2H6+ 7O2 = 4CO2 + 6H2O
by use of mole ratio between C2H6 :O2 which is 2:7 the moles of O2
= 0.536 x7/2= 1.876 moles
again at STP 1mole = 22.4 L what about 1.876 moles
= 22.4 L x 1.876 moles/ 1 mole = 42.02 L
Answer:
Partial pressure of CO₂ is 406.9 mmHg
Explanation:
To solve the question we should apply the concept of the mole fraction.
Mole fraction = Moles of gas / Total moles
We have the total moles of the mixture, if we have the moles for each gas inside. (3.63 moles of O₂, 1.49 moles of N₂ and 4.49 moles of CO₂)
Total moles = 3.63 mol O₂ + 1.49 mol N₂ + 4.49 mol CO₂ = 9.61 moles
To determiine the partial pressure of CO₂ we apply
Mole fraction of CO₂ → mol of CO₂ / Total moles = P. pressure CO₂ / Total P
Partial pressure of CO₂ = (mol of CO₂ / Total moles) . Total pressure
We replace values: (4.49 moles / 9.61 moles) . 871 mmHg = 406.9 mmHg
Answer:
44
Explanation:
protons and electrons have the same number:)
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
