To measure weight of a item
A) Na2S
b) AlF3
c) O2
d) C6H12O6
You must verify that the number of atoms of each type is equal on both sides of the chemical equation: same number of C, same number of H and same number of O on both sides.
<span>A. C4H6 + 5.5O2 ---> 4CO2 + 3H2O
element reactant side product side
C 4 4
H 6 3*2 = 6
O 5.5 * 2 = 11 4*2 + 3 = 11
Then, this equation is balanced.
</span>Do the same with the other equations if you want to verify that they are not balanced.
Answer: option A.
I think it’s The second option sorry if I’m wrong
Answer:
Yes. Example: <u>Sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) molecule</u>
Explanation:
According to the octet rule, elements tend to form chemical bonds in order to have <u>8 electrons in their valence shell</u> and gain the stable s²p⁶ electronic configuration.
However, this rule is generally followed by main group elements only.
Exception: <u>SF₆ molecule</u>
In this molecule, six fluorine atoms are attached to the central sulfur atom by single covalent bonds.
<u>Each fluorine atom has 8 electrons in their valence shells</u>. Thus, it <u>follows the octet rule.</u>
Whereas, there are <u>12 electrons around the central sulfur atom</u> in the SF₆ molecule. Therefore, <u>sulfur does not follow the octet rule.</u>
<u>Therefore, the SF₆ molecule is known as a </u><u>hypervalent molecule</u><u> or expanded-valence molecule.</u>
