Answer:

When a chlorine atom gains an electron, its outermost principal energy level achieves an octet. In this case, the ion has the same outermost shell as the original atom, but now that shell has eight electrons in it. Once again, the octet rule has been satisfied.

In a previous problem, the empirical formula of a compound of phosphorus and oxygen was found to be p2o5. experimentation shows
agasfer [191]
The empirical formula for the compound is - P₂O₅
the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound.
molecular formula is the actual ratio of components in a compound.
we have to first find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula 
molecular mass - 283.89 g/mol
mass of empirical formula - 283.8 g
number of empirical units - 283.89 g/mol / 283.8 g
number of empirical units - 1.000 
therefore empirical formula = molecular formula 
molecular formula - P₂O₅

What is the mass of a sample of iron if that sample lost 2300J of heat energy when it cooled from 80 oC to 30°C? The specific he
irakobra [83]
102 grams.
Equation:
Quantify of heat = mass x specific heat x difference in temperature
We have: quantity of heat : 2300J
specific heat: .449 J/g
difference in t: 80 - 30 = 50
Solve for mass: 2300 = mass x 0.449 x 50
mass = 102.449

Hello.

The answer is: False

The current theory of the formation of our solar system is that the planets formed more or less in their present orbits and they were made balls of gas but they were never comets captured by the sun.
