Describe the octet rule in terms of noble-gas configurations and potential energy?

∙ 10y ago
"Noble gas configuration" means that in writing out an electron configuration for an atom, rather than writing out the occupation of each and every orbital specifically, you instead lump all of the core electrons together and designate it with the symbol of the corresponding noble gas on the Periodic Table (in brackets). For example, the noble gas configuration of oxygen is [He]2s22p4

∙ 14y agoThe octet rule is a simple rule of thumb that states that atoms tend to combine in such a way that they each have eight electrons in their valence shells, giving them the same electron configuration as a noble gas. The rule is applicable to the main-group elements. In simple terms, molecules or ions tend to be most stable when the outermost electron shells of their constituent atoms contain eight electrons .

∙ 11y agoThe octet noble gas configuration is an outer electron shell that contains 8 electrons, which is a stable arrangement, that most noble gases have (helium however, has only 2 outer electrons, because it is too small to have a second electron shell, as the other noble gases do). Octet simply means a group of 8.

Is chemical energy kinetic energy or potential energy?
It is a form of potential energy.
Does nuclear energy have kinetic or potential energy?
Nuclear energy is a kind of potential energy.
What energy has to do with potential and kinetic energy?
Kinetic Energy+Potential Energy=Mechanical Energy (KE+PE=ME)
Is solar energy potential energy?
yes sunlight is a form of potential energy
An object's energy due to its relative position?
This is called potential energy. The most common form of potential energy is an object suspended above the ground. Its height gives it potential energy, which is defined as mgh, where m is the mass, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height.
Describe chemical potential energy?
energy stored by a chemical bond
Mechanical energy is a term that is used to describe potential or kinetic energ y?
both potential and kinetic energy
Why nuclear energy a form of potential energy?
Potential energy is the energy of position. Because of the strong nuclear forces, certain configurations have more energy than others. Because the energy is related to forces (conservative forces, to be precise), this is a kind of potential energy - comparable to energy stored in a spring, or in the gravitational field of Earth, when you raise an object.
Describe the energy of a cat sitting in a window does it have potential energy because of its distance from the ground?
yes
Give and describe the different forms of energy?
potential,kinetic,mechanical
How can you describe elastic energy?
Elastic energy is really potential energy that is derived from the stretching of an item such as a spring. The energy potential is based on the force used stretch the spring and the distance the spring is stretched.
Describe how the chemical energy in ATP is converted into electric potential energy?
dont care dont know
An eagle flies from its perch in a tree to the ground describe the energy transformation?
Mechanical energy. It has both potential and kinetic energy.
Describe potential energy?
Potential energy is a fundamental concept in physics and plays a crucial role in understanding the behavior of physical systems and the conservation of energy. When the conditions or positions of objects change, potential energy can be converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy or thermal energy, as objects move or undergo changes in their state.
Is fossil fuels kinetic or potential energy?
I would actually describe the energy as chemical, as the energy is being used to hold the chemical bonds of the hydrocarbons together. But it is certainly not kinetic, so give these two choices the answer is potential. It is potential energy waiting for a chemical reaction.
Describe the energy conversions that take place in the pendulum?
In a pendulum, the energy transformations involve potential energy being converted to kinetic energy as the pendulum swings back and forth. At the highest point of the swing, the pendulum has maximum potential energy, which is then converted to maximum kinetic energy at the lowest point of the swing. This process continues as the pendulum oscillates, with energy being continually converted between potential and kinetic forms.
Describe the types of energy generated when you hit a nail with a hammer?
when you raise the hammer at the top of your upswing the hammer has potential energy when you lower the hammer to hit a nail , the hammer has potential energy.
