An atom X has 2 electrons in its outer orbit. What will it do to form a stable ion?

Chemistry
1 answer:
matrenka [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

In a neutral molecule, the sum of the bonding valance electrons must be equal. So the products of the negative element and its charges and the positive element and its charge must be equal.

Explanation:

C1×N1 = C2×N2

If we have a 3 valance electrons , the 'A' charge will be either +3 or -5 for a full octet and valance electron in 'B' atoms will mostly result in acquisition of additional electrons (2) for an octet and relative charge of -2.

Balancing the two,

3 × A = -2 × B

To be equal, A = 2 and B = 3

Therefore, A²B³

Why is it better to use deionized water in chemistry experiments
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Laboratories use both distilled water and deionized water as controls in experiments. Deionization removes only non-charged organic matter from the water.

Explanation:

Distilled water removes even more impurities than deionization does, if the water undergoes a filtering process before boiling and distillation.
