vIt is the middle of winter when you go to the store to buy some balloons for a birthday party. After you get to your car with the balloons, you remember you forgot to get a birthday card so you leave the balloons in the car and go back into the store. When you get back to your car the balloons you just bought are now almost flat. Which statement BEST explains what happened?

Explanation:

sorry i do know

The balloons were filled in a warm room with warm air at a certain volume. When they are brought into the car, which was at a much lower temperature, the air inside the balloons cooled down so much that the volume shrunk in the process. This is in accordance to Charles's law where a decrease in the temperature of the gas causes a reduction in its volume.

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: )
