Why is eight the maximum number of valence electrons for any representative element? i know some elements can have more than 8, but that’s not the question, and i don’t know how to answer otherwise.

don’t answer just to get the point unless you know the answer.

you in advance.

Nitric acid can be formed in two steps from the atmospheric gases nitrogen and oxygen, plus hydrogen prepared by reforming natural gas. in the first step, nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia: (g) (g) (g) in the second step, ammonia and oxygen react to form nitric acid and water: (g) (g) (g) (g) calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of nitric acid from nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen from these reactions. round your answer to the nearest .

Under what conditions will a gas be most likely to exhibit the ideal gas properties predicted by the ideal gas law? 1)high pressures and high temperature, because particles are forced closer together with higher kinetic energy, so intermolecular forces of attraction are weaker 2)high pressure and low temperature, because particles are forced closer together and moving slower, so the volume of the particles is less significant 3) low pressure and high temperature, because particles are spread farther apart and moving faster, so the intermolecular forces of attraction are weaker 4)low pressure and low temperature, because particles are spread farther apart with lower kinetic energy, so the volume of the particles is less significant

Describe the process that was used in this lab to create magnesium oxide, specifically identifying the type of chemical reaction. explain why the product had a higher mass than the reactant, and how this relates to conservation of matter.
