If 15 g of sodium react completely with 46 g of chlorine, what amount of sodium chloride is obtained? What law have you applied?

c (diamond),

sio2 (quartz)

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
