This is because oxygen (2.8.6) requires two electrons on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2.8.8). Hydrogen (1) on the other hand requires one electron on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2). Therefore in a covalent bond, it requires two hydrogen and one oxygen to share electrons and achieve stable configuration.
Answer:
A. 2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂
Explanation:
When sodium is reacted with water, a single replacement reaction occurs. The product of the reaction is typically sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
Reactants:
Sodium + water
Product:
Sodium hydroxide + hydrogen gas
So;
2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂
Answer: C
Explanation: Pesticides protect our crops, but some studies show that they cause consumers to gain weight:)
