Answer:
It is reactive because it has to gain an electron to have a full outermost energy level.
Explanation:
The electron configuration of oxygen is 1s2,2s2 2p4.
Oxygen is in group six in the periodic table so it has six electrons in its valence shell. This means that it needs to gain two electrons to obey the octet rule and have a full outer shell of electrons (eight).
Answer:
The behavior of molecules in different phases of matter represents a balance between the kinetic energies of the molecules and the attractive forces between them. All molecules are attracted to each other. The molecules are in the solid-state. At higher temperatures, the kinetic energy of the molecules is higher.
Answer:
4.42x10⁻¹⁹ J/molecule
Explanation:
At a double bond, there's sigma and a pi bond, and at a single bond, there's only a sigma bond. Thus, if the energy to break both sigma and pi is 614 kJ/mol, and the energy to break only the sigma bond is 348 kJ/mol, the energy to break only the pi bond is:
E = 614 - 348 = 266 kJ/mol
Knowing that 1 kJ = 1000 J, E = 266,000 J/mol
By Avogadro's number, 1 mol = 6.02x10²³ molecules, thus:
E = 266,000 J/mol * 1mol/6.02x10²³ molecules
E = 4.42x10⁻¹⁹ J/molecule
