Answer:
atoms tend to react in order to gain 8 valence electrons
Explanation:
The octet rule describes the tendency of atoms of elements to react in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell. This is because having eight valence electrons confers stability to the atoms of these elements in the compounds they form.
The octet rule only does not apply to the transition elements or the inner transition elements as only the s and p electrons are involved. the electronic configuration in atoms having an octet is s²p⁶.
For example, sodium atom has one valence electron in its valence shell but a complete octet in the inner shell; it will react with chlorine atom which has seven valence electrons to form a stable compound, sodium chloride by donating its one valence electron in order to have an octet. Similarly, the chlorine atom will then have an octet by accepting the one electron from sodium atom.
Answer: C) Tetrahedral
Explanation:
The number of electron pairs is 4 that means the hybridization will be 
but as there are three bonding domains and one nonbonding domain, thus electronic geometry is tetrahedral and the molecular geometry will be trigonal pyramidal.
Linear electron geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 2 and the hybridization will be 
.
Trigonal planar geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 3 and the hybridization will be .
Trigonal bipyramidal geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 5 and the hybridization will be 
.
Octahedral geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 6 and the hybridization will be 
.
The answers here is B) Before, the substance was a gas, later it was a liquid.
Gas particles move freely and away from each other. However, liquid particles move around each other.
Hope this helps! :)(
There are two hydrogen and two oxygen molecules because the number next to the atomic number is how many there are.
Convection is the transfer of heat by liquid.
