Answer:
7 valence electrons
Explanation:
An atom of a group 17 element such as chlorine has seven valence electrons. It is “eager” to gain an extra electron to fill its outer energy level and gain stability.
<span>Propane is C3H8
The balanced equation is:
C3H8 + 5 O2 --> 3 CO2 + 4 H2O
From the balanced equation you can see that for each mole of C3H8 you obtain 4 moles of H2O.
moles H2O = 5.0 moles C3H8(4 moles H2O/1 mole C3H8) = 20 moles H2O formed
Use Avogadro's number to find the number of molecules.
molecules H2O = 20 moles H2O(6.02 x 10^23 molecules/1 mole) = 1.20 x 10^25 H2O molecules</span><span>

They are at equilibrium naturally. They do not easily get attacked by acids and are virtually impossible to oxidize due to their stable nature.
