Helium only has two valence electrons and is a stable atom. How is this possible when atoms

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andru [333]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Helium (He) is similar in that it, too, only has room for two electrons in its only valence shell. Hydrogen and helium have only one electron shell. The first shell has only one s orbital and no p orbital, so it holds only two electrons. Therefore, these elements are most stable when they have two electrons.

An ideal gas sample is confined to 3.0 L and kept at 27 °C. If the temperature is raised to 77 °C and the initial pressure was 1
Nadusha1986 [10]

The gas is confined in 3.0 L container ( rigid container) ⇒ the volume remains constant when the temperature is increased from from 27oC to 77oC and therefore V1=V2 .

Which way would CCI2F2 orient in an electric field?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In looking at molecules to determine whether they are polar or not we have to look at two things basically;

i) presence of polar bonds

ii) geometry of the molecule

Now, we know that CCI2F2 is a tetrahedral molecule, but the molecule is not symmetrical. It has four polar bonds that are not all the same hence the molecule is polar.

In an electric field, polar molecules orient themselves in such a way that  the positive ends of the molecule are being attracted to the negative plate while the negative ends of the molecules are attracted to the positive plate.

So the positive ends of CCI2F2  are oriented towards the negative plate of the field while the negative ends of CCI2F2 are oriented towards the positive ends of the field.

Why is it important to collect all data during experiments, rather than make inferences of what will happen?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

It is important to collect all data first, or else your guesses could purely be the opposite of the right answer. If you make inferences of what might happen, your guesses may be purely fictional, and totally off-topic. During experiments, this step is important.
