why is it possible for sulfur to have more than 8 valance electrons(exception of October rule) but oxygen can not even though they are in the same group?​

1. suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 ml of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [ch2(cn)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. the solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 ml, and in water is 13.3 g/100 ml. what weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-ml portions of ether and (b) one 300-ml portion of ether? suggestion: for each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. in part (a), the concentration in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30 x)/300; the ratio of these quantities is equal to k 20/13.3.

Which of these conditions most likely produces an unstable isotope?

Which ocean zone has the most abundant primary producer and why a) the abyssopelagic zone ,du to the absence of light and cold water temperatureb) the bathypelagic zone, due to the absence of light and cold water temperaturec) the mesopelagic zone ,due to uts high light availability and warm water temperature d) the epipelagic zone, due to its high light availability and warm water temperature
