When an atom is trying to obtain stability, what part(s) of the atom change(s)?

This is a characteristic of the elements in the periodic table that shows a pattern. it may increase or decrease across or down the table.

Kc = 0.040 for the system below at 450oc. if a reaction is initiated with 0.40 mole of cl2 and 0.40 mole of pcl3 in a 2.0 liter container, what is the equilibrium concentration of cl2 in the same system? pcl5(g) ⇄ pcl3(g) + cl2(g)

How many liters of oxygen gas, at standardtemperature and pressure, will react with 35.8 grams ofiron metal? 4 fe (s) + 3 o2 (g) → 2 fe2o3 (s)
