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.

2. In a well-known movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, there is a famous scene in which the hero tries to outwit the designers of a trap by replacing a gold statue with a bag of sand of about the same volume.
a) Knowing that the density of gold is 19.3 g/mL and sand is 3.1 g/mL, does this seem like a scientifically reasonable plan? Why or why not?
b) In the movie, the hero grabs the gold statue with one hand and appears to handle it quite easily. Given that the volume of the statue appears to be about 1 L, find the mass of the statue.
Answer:
I cant answer B, but I can answer A, and I don't think it is a scientifically reasonable plan.
Explanation:
The bag of sand weighs less than the gold statue, and yes the bag of sand seems like it would keep the trap from activating, but you would scientifically have to put something that was the same weight as the gold statue on the pedestal that the statue is on.

The transition metals (with the exception of Zn, Cd and Hg) are very much hard and have low volatility. Why Zn ,Cd and Hg has low melting points. (a) These have all their electrons paired. (b) These have maximum number of unpaired electrons. (c) These have very strong metallic bonding. (d) These have more metal-metal bonding.
Answer:
Zn ,Cd and Hg has low melting points because - These have all their electrons paired.
Explanation:
These have all their electrons paired -: All the electrons in the d-subshell are combined with Zn , Cd and Hg. The metallic bonds present in them are, therefore, weak. This is why they have low points of melting and bolting. therefore , this statement is true. These have maximum number of unpaired electrons. Since , these transition metals have all electrons paired , so this statement is incorrect.These have very strong metallic bonding -: Zn, Cd and Hg d-orbital are completely filled. They have poor metallic bonding and less compact packing due to their fully filled d-orbitals, so all of them are volatile in nature. Therefore, this statement is also not valid .These have more metal-metal bonding. -: Since , their metallic bond is weak , so this statement is not true .Hence , the correct option is A (These have all their electrons paired).

3. In an exercise to teach students how to use and analytical balance, the instructor
gives a student a quarter which has been pre-weighed as 5.6026 g. The weight that the
student obtains for the same quarter is 5.6013 g. What is the percent error in the
students reading?
Answer:
The percent error is 0.023%.
Explanation:
Pre-weighed of a quarter is 5.6026 g.
The weight that the student obtains for the same quarter is 5.6013 g.
We need to find the percent error in the students reading. It is given by the formula as follows :
[tex]\%=\dfrac{|\text{original value-calculated value}|}{\text{original value}}\times 100[/tex]
Putting all the values, we get :
[tex]\%=\dfrac{5.6026 -5.6013 }{5.6026 }\times 100\\\\\%=0.023\%[/tex]
So, the percent error is 0.023%.

Considering the principles of KMT, which scenario would result in an increase of particles effective collisions at STP None of the above None of the above In a balloon In a balloon A container with large volume A container with large volume A container with small volume
Answer:
A container with small volume
Explanation:
The question is obviously incomplete because the image attachments are missing.
However, it is necessary to note that, the effective collisions depends on the volume of the gas.
The lesser the gas volume, the greater the effective collision between particles at STP.
Hence from the KMT, the scenario having the least volume of gas will have the greatest magnitude of effective collisions.

Where exactly is an orbital? I understand they are a volume where we expect to find electrons 90% of the time but I don't understand where their shapes are and fit on an atom, and the different forms of orbitals confuse me a little. Can someone explain me where they are with the help of an image? Pardon me if my question isn't very clear
Answer:
95% of the time (or any other percentage you choose), the electron will be found within a fairly easily defined region of space quite close to the nucleus. Such a region of space is called an orbital. You can think of an orbital as being the region of space in which the electron lives

choose the letter that best describes the behavior of a substance during a phase change:
/A/ neither absorbs or releases energy
/B/ always absorbs energy
/C/ always releases energy
/D/ either absorbs or releases energy
Answer:
/D/ either absorbs or releases energy
Explanation:
During a phase change energy is either absorbed or released.
A phase change is a reversible process which occurs when a substance changes is its state from one form to another.
Phase changes are used to delineate physical changes.
A phase diagram provides a graphic representation of the change. The diagram can be 2 dimensional or 3 dimensional.Lizzie is pushing Alex on a scooter. Lizzie is pushing with 75 N of force to the left,

During evaporation, what causes certain liquid molecules to become vapor molecules? A. Decreased fluidity A. Increased viscosity A. Decreased kinetic energy A. Increased kinetic energy.
Answer:
The answer is A. Decreased Fluidity
Explanation:
Taking the test on preformance matters
In evaporation, particles of liquids take energy in the form of sunlight from the surrounding and then convert into vapor phase. Increased kinetic energy causes certain liquid molecules to become vapor molecules.
What is evaporation?Evaporation is a physical process in which the water in liquid state converts to gaseous state at the temperature below its boiling point. Evaporation happens before the boiling process.
Evaporation causes cooling effect in the surrounding. During summer when water is kept in earthen pot water cools, this is because of the evaporation process.
Evaporation is affected by temperature. As the temperature increases, kinetic energy of liquid molecules also increases and hence the rate of evaporation increases.
Therefore, increased kinetic energy causes certain liquid molecules to become vapor molecules.
