Hello!
Like many other elements in chemistry, when an atom's valence shell is filled the element becomes stable. Through the octet rule we know that when the very last valence shell becomes filled, the atom is stable and therefore it is highly unlikely for the element to form bonds with that of another.
I hope this helped!
Since the barium ion will be isoelectronic to the nearest noble gas, which is xenon, the electronic configuration for Ba2+ is: [Xe]
In france grapes are 1.83 euros per kilogram. What is the cost of grapes in dollars per pound if the exchange rate is 1.40 dollars per euro
1.83 euros x 1.40 = 2.56 dollars
1 pound = 0.454 kilogram
1.83 euros per kilogram = 2.56 x 0.454 = 1.16 dollars per pound
