Once an atom does not have a full valence shell (the outermost shell), it will be unstable/reactive. Unstable atoms can either give away valence electrons or receive electrons into their valence shell when they react. Non-metal atoms react by: * 10 points
Ejecting/removing protons and neutrons.
Receiving electrons from other atoms into their valence shell.
Giving away valence electrons.
Destroying their valence electrons.​

For a research project, a student decided to test the effect of the lead(ii) ion (pb2+) on the ability of salmon eggs to hatch. this ion was obtainable from the water‐soluble salt, lead(ii) nitrate, which the student decided to make by the following reaction. pbo(s) + 2 hno3(aq) → pb(no3)2(aq) + h2o losses of product for various reasons were expected, and a yield of 86.0% was expected. in order to have 5.00 g of product at this yield, how many grams of pbo should be reacted? (assume that sufficient nitric acid, hno3, would be used.)
