How does oxygen obey the octet rule

Chemistry

marusya05 [52]2 years ago

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

An oxygen atom, in free state has 8 electrons, 2 in the first shell, and 6 in the second. It can only achieve stability if the valency of the valence shell is 0. In order for this, it combines with another atom with the same valency, such as magnesium or another oxygen atom to obey the octet rule. Hope it helps.

Refer to the following illustration. How many hydrogen atoms could bond with oxygen?
WITCHER [35]
2. 

The reason why is because there are 2 available electron spots on the orbital for the oxygen atom. Hydrogen atoms have one proton and one electron, thus, in order to fill the oxygen atom orbital to a full outer shell, a maximum of 2 atoms could bond with the oxygen atoms. 

6 electrons (oxygen)+ 1 electron (hydrogen)+ 1 electron (hydrogen)= 8

B. A redox reaction occurs in an electrochemical cell, where silver (Ag) is oxidized and nickel (Ni)
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

i) Oxidation half-reaction:

2Ag(s) ----> 2Ag^+(aq) + 2e

Reduction half-reaction:

Ni^2+(aq) + 2e ----> Ni(s)

ii) Ag is the anode while Ni is the cathode

iii) E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode

E°cell = (-0.25) - (0.80)

E°cell = -1.05 V

iv) This is an electrolytic cell since the cell reaction is non spontaneous.
