1. 8 (oct means that eight, good way to remember this!)
2. hydrogen has ONE valence electron!

hope this helps :)

Answer:

The octet rule means that atoms need a total of 8 valence electrons to fill their valence shell. Hydrogen only needs two to fill its valence shell.

Explanation:

All atoms except for hydrogen can hold a total of 8 valence electrons in their outer energy levels (2 in the s level, 6 in the p level). Hydrogen only has two electrons total, so it does not require more than the s level and two electrons to have a full valence.

What is the ratio of effusion rates for the lightest gas, h2, to the heaviest known gas, uf6?
andriy [413]

The ratio of effusion rates for the lightest gas H₂ to the heaviest known gas UF₆ is 13.21 to 1

<h3>What is effusion?</h3>

Effusion is a process by which a gas escapes from its container through a tiny hole into evacuated space.

Rate of effusion ∝ 1/√Ц, (where Ц is molar mass)

Rate H₂ = 1/√ЦH₂

Rate UF₆ = 1/√ЦUF₆

Therefore, Rate H₂/ Rate UF₆ = √ЦH₂/√ЦUF₆

ЦH₂= 2.016 g/mol

ЦUF₆= 352.04 g/mol

Rate H₂ / Rate UF₆ = √352.04/√2.016 = 18.76/1.42

Rate H₂ / Rate UF₆ = 13.21

Therefore, H₂ is lower mass than UF₆. Thus H₂ gas will effuse 13 times more faster than UF₆ because the most probable speed of H₂ molecule is higher; therefore, more molecules escapes per unit time.

How do scientists believe that chloroplasts got into photosynthetic cells? ​
Lera25 [3.4K]

The development of chloroplast is thought to occur through endosymbiosis.

According to the endosymbiosis, some of the organelles found in modern eukaryotic cells, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, were previously prokaryotic microorganisms. A non-photosynthetic creature acquired one photosynthetic cell, and the chloroplast was subsequently created.

An organelle known as a chloroplast is crucial to the process of photosynthesis in plants. It contains pigments like chlorophyll and other  pigments that are in charge of capturing sunlight. Since each chloroplast has two membranes, other organelles such as mitochondria are referred to as double-membrane organelles. It is believed that cyanobacterial endosymbiosis played a role in the genesis of the chloroplast. Prokaryotic organisms like cyanobacteria have the capacity to prepare their food through the process of photosynthesis.

A 112. 6 g mass of unknown material is submersed in 102 ml of water to yield a final volume of 126 ml. What is the apparent dens
skad [1K]

The density of the unknown material is 0.213 ml/g

<h3>Apparent density of the unknown material</h3>

The apparent density of the unknown material is calculated as follows;

Volume of the unknown substance = 126 ml - 102 ml = 24 ml

Density of the unknown substance = mass/volume

Density of the unknown substance =  24 ml / 112.6 g

Density of the unknown substance = 0.213 ml/g

Thus, the density of the unknown material is 0.213 ml/g
