Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Oxygen has six electrons in its outermost shell. This means that its octet can be completed when it shares two electrons with another oxygen atom.

In a covalent bond, each bonding atom contributes one electron to the bond. This means that four electrons are shared between two oxygen atoms. Each atom contributes a total of two electrons which are shared. This molecule of oxygen satisfies the octet rule rather than a single atom of oxygen.

An image of the oxygen molecule is attached to this answer.

This system of two oxygen atoms joined together in a covalent bond is called an oxygen molecule(O2).

If you had excess chlorine, how many moles of of aluminum chloride could be produced from 19.0 g of aluminum?
SIZIF [17.4K]
The chemical reaction would be written as follows:

2Al + 3Cl2 = 2AlCl3

We are given the amount of aluminum to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point of the calculations. We do as follows:

19.0 g Al ( 1 mol / 29.98 g ) ( 2 mol AlCl3 / 2 mol Al ) = 0.63 mol AlCl3
