Question
The “octet rule” in chemistry helps predict the types of bonds that
atoms will form. In general, an atom will be most stable if it fills its
outer shell of 8 electrons. Atoms with fewer than 4 valence electrons
tend to donate electrons and those with more than 4 valence electrons
tend to accept additional electrons; those with exactly 4 can do both.
Using this rule, determine what category each of the following
elements falls into: N, S, C, P, O, H, Ca, Fe, and Mg. (You will need
to work out the valence of the atoms.)

Solids, liquids or gases all influence the rate of reaction the same because they are all in the physical state. Solid state reactants react faster if the particle sizes are larger because reactions occur at the boundary surface with direct contact. Gaseous-state reactions are faster than liquid-state or solid-state reactions because collisions between reactants are more frequent.arrow_forward
