Answer:
(iv) (A) is false, but (R) is true.
Explanation:
It is not true that carbon has a strong tendency to either lose or gain electrons to attain noble gas configuration. Carbon is a member of group 14, it is the first member of the group and carbon is purely a non metal. Only metals metals can loose electrons to attain the noble gas configuration. Moreover, carbon does not participate in ionic bonding so it does not gain electrons to attain the noble gas configuration.
However, carbon participates in covalent bonding where it is covalently bonded to four other chemical species using its four outermost electrons. Carbon forms covalent bonds in which four electrons are shared with other chemical species.
D is the correct answer......
hope it help, please thank me if it did.....
To count the number of valence electrons we look at the electronic configuration and add the electrons form the electronic shell with the highest principal quantum number.
Rb: [Kr] 5s¹ - 1 valence electron
Xe: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁶ - 8 valence electrons
Sb: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p³ - 5 valence electrons
I: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁵ - 7 valence electrons
In: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p¹ - 3 valence electrons
Rank from most to fewest valence electrons:
Xe > I > Sb > In > Rb
Answer: Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and warms the Earth's surface. ... As more greenhouse gases are emitted into the atmosphere, heat that would normally be radiated into space is trapped within the Earth's atmosphere, causing the Earth's temperature to increase.
Explanation: This keeps well life on earth so the answer is (3)
