Response
Question 1: Completing the Table for Oxygen (O) and Hydrogen (H)
Step 1: Oxygen (O) Details
  • # of p⁺ (protons): Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, so \(\#\text{ of } p^+ = 8\).
  • Atom e⁻ Config. (Electron Configuration): The electron configuration of O is \(1s^2 2s^2 2p^4\).
  • Ionization Energy: Oxygen has a relatively high ionization energy (approx. 1314 kJ/mol, but for the table, we can note it's higher than H).
  • Electronegativity: Oxygen has an electronegativity of 3.44 (Pauling scale).
  • Atomic Lewis e⁻ dot: Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, so the Lewis dot is \(\cdot \underset{\cdot \cdot}{\overset{\cdot \cdot}{O}} \cdot\) (but the given diagram has a circle, we can represent the valence electrons as 6 dots around O).
Step 2: Hydrogen (H) Details
  • # of p⁺ (protons): Hydrogen has an atomic number of 1, so \(\#\text{ of } p^+ = 1\).
  • Atom e⁻ Config. (Electron Configuration): The electron configuration of H is \(1s^1\).
  • Ionization Energy: Hydrogen has an ionization energy of approx. 1312 kJ/mol.
  • Electronegativity: Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.20 (Pauling scale).
  • Atomic Lewis e⁻ dot: Hydrogen has 1 valence electron, so the Lewis dot is \(\text{H} \cdot\) (matches the given diagram).
Step 3: Δ (Difference) Calculations
  • Δ Ionization E. between O & H: \(|1314 - 1312| = 2\) kJ/mol (approximate values).
  • Δ Electronegativity between O & H: \(|3.44 - 2.20| = 1.24\).
Step 4: Combined Lewis e⁻ Dot
  • Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, Hydrogen has 1. When combined (as OH, though unstable), the Lewis dot would show O with its 6 dots and H with its 1 dot, e.g., \(\cdot \underset{\cdot \cdot}{\overset{\cdot \cdot}{O}} - \text{H}\) (a single bond, sharing one electron from H with O).
Question 2: Stable Electron Configuration?
Brief Explanations
  • Oxygen: Needs 2 more electrons to fill its 2p subshell (to get \(2p^6\), a stable octet).
  • Hydrogen: Needs 1 more electron to fill its 1s subshell (to get \(1s^2\), a stable duet).
  • In the combined Lewis dot (as drawn), O has 6 + 1 (from H) = 7 valence electrons (not an octet), and H has 1 + 1 (from O) = 2? Wait, no—if they share, H would have 2 (stable), but O would have 7 (not stable). So no, not all atoms have a stable configuration. O lacks an octet (has 7 valence electrons in the shared case), and if not shared, O has 6, H has 1—both unstable.
Brief Explanations
  • Oxygen: Can gain 2 electrons (forming \(O^{2-}\)) to get a stable octet (\(1s^2 2s^2 2p^6\)).
  • Hydrogen: Can gain 1 electron (forming \(H^-\)) to get a stable duet (\(1s^2\)), or lose its 1 electron (forming \(H^+\)) to have no electrons (but \(H^+\) is stable as a proton).
  • Alternatively, they can form a covalent bond and share electrons, but O would need another H (to form \(H_2O\)) to get 2 shared electrons (total 8 valence electrons: 6 + 2 from 2 H atoms).

Answer:

No. Oxygen needs an octet (8 valence electrons) and has 6 (or 7 in the shared case), while Hydrogen needs a duet (2 valence electrons) and has 1 (or 2 in the shared case, but O is still unstable).
