What is the valency of tetrachloride?
i think 4 is the valency of tetrachloride
How many electrons does a potassium atom need to donate to another atom to satisfy the octet rule?
It depends which 'other atom' it is
What do you mean by 1 atom carbon and 1 gram of carbon?
one gram of carbon* Avogdo's number =number of atom (many atom) one atom of carbon mean carbon have a 6 electron and 12 molar mass
In AlCl3.NH3 nitrogen an electronegative atom donates a lone pair to electropositive aluminum to complete aluminum's octet. How is that possible?
It is possible because of dative/ coordinate bonding. Basically, because the aluminium atom in AlCl3 is electron deficient and the nitrogen atom in NH3 has a lone pair of electrons, N donates one pair of lone electrons to Al for sharing in order for Al to obtain a stable octet configuration. Hence a dative/ coordinate bond is formed.
Why fluorine exist as a diatomic molecule?
Each fluorine atom has 7 electrons in its outer shell, but a setup of 8 outer shell electrons (called an octet) is stable. To get this octet a fluorine atom will form a single covalent bond with another fluorine atom. Each atom give one electron to be shared between the two.
What kind of atoms are bonded to carbon atoms in the molecule?
Atom which have lone pair to donate their electron to complete their octet.
Can a Neutral unbonded atom complete valence octet?
if it is a noble gas it already has an octet, otherwise, it would need to gain or use electrons to complete an octet and would no longer be neutral or unbounded.
How many electrons must a chlorine atom gain to complete its octet?
One.
Why does carbon does not gain or loose 4 electron to complete its octet?
by sharing its electrons
What does a fluorine atom need?
Fluorine need one electron. It needs one electron to complete its octet.
How many sodium atoms are needed to provide electrons necessary to complete valence octet of oxygen atom?
2
What does the atom of an element belonging to the noble gas family have?
A complete octet of electrons (8) in the outer-most, or valence, shell.
What is the valency of tetrachloride?
i think 4 is the valency of tetrachloride
How many electrons are in a complete octet why is having a complete octet important?
eight. it is important to obtain octet so that elements become stable.
When and how carbon completes its octet?
carbon is a special eleme having 4 electron in its outer shell so to complete its octect it needs to share its electron in a covalent bond
How many electrons would an atom of magnesium have to lose to have a stable octe?
It'll have to lose two to have a stable octet.
Why do atoms gain loose or share electrons?
Atom loose or gain electron to make its octet complete. It is done to achieve inert state.
