How many moles are present in 1.25x1023 molecules of salt (NaCl)?

0.21 mole of NaCl

Explanation:

From the question,

using Avogadro's Constant,

1 mole of every compound contains 6.02×10²³ molecules of that compound.

I.e

1 mole of NaCl ⇒ 6.02×10²³ molecules of NaCl

x moles of NaCl ⇒ 1.25××10²³ molecules of NaCl

Solving for x,

x moles of NaCl = (1 mole of NaCl)×(1.25×10²³ molecules of NaCl)/(6.02×10²³ molecules of NaCl)

x moles of NaCl = (1×1.25×10²³)/6.02×10²³

x = 0.208 mole of NaCl

x ≈ 0.21 mole of NaCl

False

Explanation:

Non- metals tend to gain electrons easily, metals tend to lose electrons easily

For example, oxygen, a non-gas, when it is an ion, has the option to lose 6 electrons to become like helium, or gain 2 electrons to become like the noble gas neon. However, it becomes like neon for 2 reasons.

A. As a general rule, atoms lose/gain the LEAST amount of electrons.

B. Oxygen is a nonmetal, therefore, to become like a Noble Gas, it would gain, as non-metals usually would, 2 electrons.
