Given what we know, we can confirm that when forming an expanded octet, selenium hexafluo ride will hold 6 pairs of shared electrons around its center selenium atom.

<h3>What is an expanded octet?</h3>
  • An expanded octet is when an atom can hold more than 8 valence electrons in its outer shell.
  • This is possible for those elements in period four of the periodic table.
  • Elements that are capable of this form what we call hypervalent compounds.

Therefore, given that during an expanded octet formation, the central atom is capable of holding more than 8 valence electrons in its outer shell, the central atom of a selenium hexafluo ride compound will have 12 electrons being shared, which results in 6 pairs, making C the correct answer.

If the volume of the original sample in Part A ( P1 = 242 torr , V1 = 27.0 L ) changes to 80.0 L , without a change in the tempe
Brrunno [24]

The new pressure is 81.675 torr

Since temperature and moles are held constant, we use Boyle's Law:

A gas law known as Boyle's law asserts that a gas's pressure is inversely proportional to its volume when it is held at a fixed temperature and of a given mass.

To put it another way, as long as the temperature and volume of the gas remain constant, the pressure and volume of the gas are inversely proportional to one another.

The Anglo-Irish chemist Robert Boyle proposed Boyle's law in the year 1662.

P1V1=P2V2. Simply plug in your values. The units can remain in torr. Converting to atmospheres is not needed.

(242 torr)(27.0 L)=P2(80.0 L)

P2=[(242)(27)]/80 = 81.675 torr

Hence The new pressure is 81.675 torr

tatyana61 [14]
The option that would best contrast the real and the model atoms is letter "D. model of an atom is not as small as an actual atom". The size of an atom is said to be no more than 0.1 to 0.5 nanometers. The models are used to proper illustrate the atom's physical attributes. That is why, it needs to be bigger in size.
