Atoms of elements that are nonmetals tend to gain electrons and atoms of metallic elements tend to lose electrons. Metals have few electrons in their valence shells.
By losing those electrons, these metals achieve noble gas configuration and satisfy the octet rule.
Nonmetals that have close to 8 electrons in their valence shells readily accept electrons to achieve noble gas configuration.
An example is the reaction between calcium and oxygen. Calcium is a metal and has 2 valence electrons. Oxygen is a nonmetal and has 6 valence electrons.
Calcium gives up its two valence electrons and oxygen accepts them and an ionic bond is established resulting in the formation of anew compound namely calcium oxide.
Answer:
The new volume will be 367mL
Explanation:
Using PV = nRT
V1 = 259mL = 0.000259L
n1 = 0.552moles
At constant temperature and pressure, the value is
P * 0.000259 = 0.552 * RT ------equation 1
= 0.552 / 0.000259
= 2131.274
V2 = ?
n2 = 0.552 + 0.232
n2 = 0.784mole
Using ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT
P * V2 = 0.784 * RT ---------- equation 2
Combining equations 1 and 2 we have;
V2 = 0.784 / 2131.274
V2 = 0.000367L
V2 = 367mL
