a.
To determine:
The minimum number of electrons carbon must share to become isoelectronic with noble gas.
Introduction:
Ions that have equal number of electrons are known as isoelectronic species.
To become isoelectronic with noble gas, elements have to complete their octet either by gain or lose of electrons from their outermost shell.

- What are bus? How are ions formed from atoms? Do isolated atoms form ions spontaneously? To what do the termscationandanionrefer? In terms of subatomic particles, how is an ion related to the atom from which it is formed? Does the nucleus of an atom change when the atom is converted into an ion? How can the periodic table be used to predict what ion an element’s atoms will form?arrow_forward1. Hydrogen is a Group I element and each hydrogen will contribute I valence electron. Carbon is a Group (Roman numeral) element and each carbon will contribute ___ (number) electrons. Every oxygen atom in a compound will contribute valence electrons. Chloromethane has the molecular formula . Its skeleton is and the number of valence electrons may be determined as follows. There are three hydrogen atoms, each of which contributes 1 valence electron; the single carbon contributes 4 electrons; and the single chlorine atom contributes 7 electrons, making a total of 14 . A convenient tabular form of this calculation isarrow_forwardWhat is the difference between sulfuric acid and hydrosulfuric acid?arrow_forward

- The noble elements are the most reactive of the elements listed on the periodic table. O True O Falsearrow_forwardAs seen in the table, compounds containing an integer ratio of elements depend on how many cations combine with how many anions to form a stable compound. For example, in table 1, to form a NaCl compound, first Na ionizes from the Na+ cation which is having +1 positive charge, which will lose 1 electron, it is having +1 charge, this electron then goes to Cl and it will change to Cl- anion by gaining the electron, so here 1:1 ratio charge which means 1 Na+ combines with 1 Cl-1 to form NaCl. So here integer ratio is 1:1 for this sodium chloride compound. As listed in table 2, Mg(OH)2, the integer ratio is 1:2 which means, Mg is a neutral atom that loses 2 electrons and forms an Mg+2 cation, which combines with OH which gains 1 electron to form OH- anion, So here Mg2+ can combine with 2 OH- anion, so they both combine to form Mg(OH)2 which has integer ratio as 1:2 . Thus, atom forms as ions by losing or gaining electrons and combines together in whole number ratio to form stable…arrow_forwardNitesharrow_forward
