- The elements oxygen and sulfur have similar chemical properties because they both have six electrons in their outermost electron shells. Indeed, both elements form molecules with two hydrogen atoms, water (H2O) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Surprisingly, at room temperature, water is a liquid, yet H2S is a gas, despite sulfur being much larger and heavier than oxygen.

- The “octet rule” in chemistry helps predict the types of bonds thatatoms will form. In general, an atom will be most stable if it fills itsouter shell of 8 electrons.

- Selenium is generally considered a toxic element. (It is the active component of loco weed.) However, there is growing evidence that selenium is also an essential trace element. Because glutathione peroxidase activity is crucial to the protection of red blood cells against oxidative stress, a selenium deficiency can damage red blood cells. Although sulfur is in the same chemical family as selenium, it cannot be substituted. Can you explain why?

Solid state reactants react faster if the particle sizes are larger because reactions occur at the boundary surface with direct contact. Gaseous-state reactions are faster than liquid-state or solid-state reactions because collisions between reactants are more frequent.arrow_forwardHow do electrons in different orbitals of the same electron shell compare with respect to energy?arrow_forward
