Why does oxygen exist as a diatonic molecule and not simply the O atom

Chemistry

Brrunno [24]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Oxygen exists as a diatomic molecule in nature when it is not combined with any other element. It forms O2 molecule because it is stable when it is uncombined. It has the lowest energy level when uncombined. ... By achieving octet configuration, the diatomic elements become more stable compared to the single atom.

Answer: B. 1:2

Explanation: Beryllium and chlorine forms a binary ionic compound. Ionic compound is formed when a metal loses its electrons to a receiving non metal. Beryllium (metal) has two valence electrons while chlorine (nonmetal) has seven valence electrons, and so a beryllium atom has to give out its two valence electrons to attain a duplet stable structure while a chlorine atom will gain one electron to attain its stable octet structure. In the reaction between beryllium and chlorine, two atoms of chlorine have to accept the two electrons from one beryllium atom to attain their stable octet structure.

The formula of the compound formed is BeCl2.

The piece of iron that miguel measured had a mass of 51.1 g and a volume of 6.63 cm 3 . what did miguel calculate to be the dens
likoan [24]
Given:
Mass, m = 51.1 g
Volume, V = 6.63 cm³

By definition, 
Density = Mass/Volume
              = (51.1 g)/(6.63 cm³)
              = 7.7074 g/cm³

In SI units,
Density = (7.7074 g/cm³)*(10⁻³ kg/g)*(10² cm/m)³
              = 7707.4 kg/m³

Answer: 7.707 g/cm³ or 7707.4 kg/m³
