A lab group was calculating the speed of a radio car. They measured the distance traveled to be 6 meters and the time to be 3.5 seconds. Then they divided the distance by the time to find the speed. The actual speed was 2.2 m/s. What was their percent error?

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: )
