The atoms combine to form compounds to attain stability in nature. The combination of atoms takes place by sharing of electrons between the atoms or complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Generally, atoms combine to complete their octet, that is to possess eight electrons in their outer most shell (noble gas configurations) except hydrogen which can attain stability by two electrons in its outer most shell.
Since germanium has 4 electrons in its outer most shell so it needs 4 more electrons to complete its octet and attains the stability. Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outer most shell and it needs only 1 electron to attain stability so, each germanium will combine with 4 hydrogen atoms and thus forming
molecule which is stable in nature.
Hence,
is the formula of the hydride formed by germanium.
The primary function of chloroplast is to conduct photosynthesis, which is the process plants use to convert light energy into chemical energy that can be released to fuel the organisms' activities.

Given
Reaction
2H₂ + O₂ ⇒ 2H₂0 + energy
Required
Two changes would make this reaction reactant-favored
Solution
The formation of H₂O is an exothermic reaction (releases heat)
If the system temperature is raised, then the equilibrium reaction will reduce the temperature by shifting the reaction in the direction that requires heat (endotherms). Conversely, if the temperature is lowered, then the equilibrium shifts to a reaction that releases heat (exothermic)
While on the change in pressure, then the addition of pressure, the reaction will shift towards a smaller reaction coefficient
in the above reaction: the number of coefficients on the left is 3 (2 + 1) while the right is 2
As the temperature rises, the equilibrium will shift towards the endothermic reaction, so the reaction shifts to the left towards H₂ + O₂( reactant-favored)
And reducing the pressure, then the reaction shifts to the left H₂ + O₂( reactant-favored)⇒the number of coefficients is greater
Answer:
-
Explanation:
Water molecules pull the sodium and chloride ions apart, breaking the ionic bond that held them together. After the salt compounds are pulled apart, the sodium and chloride atoms are surrounded by water molecules, as this diagram shows. Once this happens, the salt is dissolved, resulting in a homogeneous solution.
