Can anyone explain to me the octet rule in detail with examples my teacher didn't do the greatest job of making us understand.

In chemistry, the octet rule explains how atoms of different elements combine to form molecules. In a chemical formula, the octet rule strongly governs the number of atoms for each element in a molecule; for example, calcium fluoride is CaF2 because two fluorine atoms and one calcium satisfy the rule. Hope this helps

Gain enough kinetic energy to get past each other. Ad you heat up a substance, the temperature increases as does the kinetic energy of the particles. At a point the temperature of the substance will stop increasing. The energy is now being used to increase the potential and move the particles further apart.

Answer:

active transport

Explanation:

Active transport -

It refers to the movement of the molecules from a region of lower concentration towards a region of higher concentration via a membrane , is referred to as active transport.

The process of active transport need to have some cellular energy .

Hence,

The concentration of potassium is maintained in the red blood cells via the process of active transport.

Consider a mixture of soil and water and compare it to a colloid, such as milk. Which property best differentiates these two mix

mezya [45]

There are many differentiates between them. Like if you standing these two mixture, the soil and water will separate while milk will not. And colloid have tyndall effect while soil and water doesn't have.

Suppose a mercury thermometer contains 3.250g of mercury and has a capillary that is 0.180mm in diameter.. How far does the merc

Helga [31]

1) You need to get volume of both temperatures by using first attached formula V= Mass/Density $V_1 = (3.250 g)/(13.596 g/(cm^3)) = .2390 cm^3
At 25 degrees C (V_2e have:

V_2 = (3.250 g)/(13.534 g/(cm^3)) = .2401 cm^3$

2) Using the second formula you get the height of 0 degree
$h = V/(pi * r^2)


h_1 =(.2390 cm^3)/(pi*(.009 cm)^2) = 939.2 cm$

(radius in cm is $(0.180 mm) / 2 * (1 cm)/(10 mm) or .009 cm$

3) Then with h1 you can easily get the height of 25 degrees
$h_2 =(.2401 cm^3)/(pi*(.009 cm)^2) = 943.5 cm$

Subtract 943.5 cm - 939.2 cm, and obtain a rise in mercury height of 4.3 cm
