QUESTION
Atoms of different elements either lose, gain or share electrons in order to attain a structure like that of a
noble gas/element. Carbon with atomic number and relative atomic mass 6 and 12 respectively shares
electrons from its outermost shell in order to be stable.
(ii)
(iii)
Explain the meaning of the terms below;
Noble element
Atomic number
Relative atomic mass
With the aid of a labelled diagram, show the structure of a carbon atom.
What scientific term is used to refer to the sharing of electrons between/among atoms in order
for them to attain stability?

7. using your knowledge of colligative properties explain whether sodium chloride or calcium chloride would be a more effective substance to melt the ice on a slick sidewalk. use 3 – 4 sentences in your explanation. 8. when a 2.5 mol of sugar (c12h22o11) are added to a certain amount of water the boiling point is raised by 1 celsius degree. if 2.5 mol of aluminum nitrate is added to the same amount of water, by how much will the boiling point be changed? show all calculations leading to your answer or use 3 – 4 sentences to explain your answer. 9. if 5.40 kcal of heat is added to 1.00 kg of water at 100⁰c, how much steam at 100⁰c is produced? show all calculations leading to an answer. 10. the freezing of water at 0⁰c can be represented as follows: h2o (l) ↔ h2o(s) the density of liquid water is 1.00 g/cm3. the density of ice is 0.92 g/cm3. in 3 – 4 sentences explain why applying pressure causes ice to melt.
