Elements present in group 18 are known as noble gases. The outermost shell of these elements are completely filled.

18 is the answer

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an element has incompletely filled valence or outermost shell then that atom is most likely to undergo a chemical reaction in order to attain stability.

For example, sodium has atomic number 11 and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 1. So, to attain stability sodium will readily loose 1 electron. Hence, it will become reactive in nature to attain stability.

Whereas argon has atomic number 18 and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 8. Therefore, its valence shell is completely filled so, it will not react easily.

Hence, we can conclude that family of group 18 on the periodic table is least likely to enter into chemical reactions.

Why is the atomic mass of iron, 55.845 amu, most similar to the mass of iron-56, yet less than 56 amu? The atomic mass is the si
sattari [20]

Answer:

Iron‑56 is the most abundant isotope, so the atomic mass of iron is most similar to the mass of iron‑56.

Explanation:

The atomic abundance of the isotopes of Iron is:

⁵⁴Fe: 5.82%

⁵⁶Fe: 91.66%

⁵⁷Fe: 2.19%

⁵⁸Fe: 0.33%

<em>Where the Iron-56 is the most abundant isotope of Iron atom</em>

<em />

As atomic mass is defined as the sum of the masses of the ions multiplied by its abundance, and the Iron-56 is the most abundance isotope, the atomic mass of Fe most be similar to the ⁵⁶Fe mass because is the most abundant isotope.

Right option is:

<h3>Iron‑56 is the most abundant isotope, so the atomic mass of iron is most similar to the mass of iron‑56.</h3>

What is the empirical formula of a substance that contains 0.117 mol of carbon, 0.233 mol of hydrogen, and 0.117 mol of oxygen?
Rzqust [24]

Empirical formula of a compound gives the proportions of the elements in that compound but it does not define the actual arrangement and number of atoms.

Let the empirical formula of compound be C_{x}H_{y}O_{z}.

The ratio of number of moles of C, H and O can be calculated as follows:

C:H:O=0.117:0.233:0.117

Simplifying the ratio,

C:H:O=\frac{0.117}{0.117}:\frac{0.233}{0.117}:\frac{0.117}{0.117}=1:1.99:1=1:2:1

Thus, the value of x, y and z will be 1, 2 and 1 respectively.

Therefore, the empirical formula will be  CH_{2}O.

A heat energy of 645 J is applied to a sample of glass with a mass of 28.4 g. Its temperature increases from –11.6 ∞C to 15.5 ∞C
Anika [276]
The heat that is required to raise the temperature of an object is calculated through the equation,
                        heat = mass x specific heat x (T2 - T1)
Specific heat is therefore calculated through the equation below,
                                specific heat = heat / (mass x (T2 - T1))
Substituting,
                                specific heat = 645 J / ((28.4 g)(15.5 - - 11.6))
The value of specific heat from above equation is 0.838 J/g°C.

If you gently shake a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher, you will feel the presence of liquid within the extinguisher What condit
scoundrel [369]

When we wish to convert a gas to liquid we have to either

a) decrease temperature

b) increase pressure

In case of fire extinguisher the CO2 is found to be in liquid state, this is as the CO2 is pressurized at high pressure which keeps CO2 in liquid state

the ideal pressure and temperature conditions when CO2 gas can be converted to CO2 gas

Pressure = 5 - 73 atm

Temperature = -57  to 31 degree Celsius
