Answer:
C. two atoms of oxygen.
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Silicon has 14 electrons
Silicon is part of Group IV, all the elements there have 4 valence electrons.
It can form a compound when 4 valence electrons bind with the 4 valence elctrons of silicon
A. four atoms of calcium.
Calcium has 2 valence elctrons. 4 atoms of calcium <u>cannot bind</u> on 1 atom of silicon since there are only 4 valence electrons.
B. one atom of chlorine.
1 atom of chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can bind with an atom with 1 valence electron. Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, they will <u>not bind.</u>
Silicon can bind with 4 atoms of chlorine to form SiCl4
C. two atoms of oxygen.
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, this means oxygen can bind with an element with 2 valence electrons.
Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, it <u>can bind</u> with 2 atoms of oxygen to form SiO2 (silicon dioxide).
D. three atoms of hydrogen.
Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. 1 hydrogen atom can bind with an element that has 7 valence electrons.
Three atoms of hydrogen can bind with an element that has 5 valence electrons.
Silicon <u>will not</u> bind with 3 atoms of hydrogen ( but can bind with 4 atoms of hydrogen)
They have a full valence shell (8 electrons in the outer shell) so they are the most stable elements on the periodic table. Therefore, they do not need to react to other elements to gain or lose elections to become stable.
It has: 2 atoms of sodium (Na) 1 atom of Carbon 3 atoms of Oxygen bound together with ionic and polar-covalent bonds
At the end of the reaction, the catalyst is UNCHANGED.

Answer:
A) Ca(s) + C(s) + 3/2 O₂(g) → CaCO₃(s)
Explanation:
Standard enthalpy of formation of a chemical is defined as the change in enthalpy durin the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements in their standard states.
The consituent elements of calcium carbonate, CaCO₃, in their standard states (States you will find this pure elements in nature), are:
Ca(s), C(s) and O₂(g)
That means, the equation that represents standard enthalpy of CaCO₃ is:
<h3>A) Ca(s) + C(s) + 3/2 O₂(g) → CaCO₃(s)</h3><h3 />
<em>Is the equation that has ΔH° = -1207kJ/mol</em>
