Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : Lewis-dot structure shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule. It also shows the number of paired and unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

The given molecule is, Acetylene

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in acetylene, $C_2H_2$ = 2(4) +2(1) = 10

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 10 number of bonding electrons and 0 number of non-bonding electrons.

The Lewis-dot structure of acetylene is shown below.

What is the empirical formula for a compound if a sample contains 3.72 g of P and 21.28 g of Cl

fenix001 [56]

M(P)=3.72 g
M(P)=31 g/mol

m(Cl)=21.28 g
M(Cl)=35.5 g/mol

n(P)=m(P)/M(P)
n(P)=3.72/31=0.12 mol

n(Cl)=m(Cl)/M(Cl)
n(Cl)=21.28/35.5=0.60 mol

P : Cl = 0.12 : 0.60 = 1 : 5

PCl₅ - is the empirical formula

How many molecules are in 2.00 moles of h2o

Sedaia [141]

1 mole = 6.022×10^23 atoms. 1 water molecule = 2 Hydrogen atoms + 1 oxygen atom. So, 1 mole H2O = 1.2044×10^24 hydrogen atoms. Therefore 2 mole H2O will have 2.4088×10^24 hydrogen atoms.

The “fatal flaw” in Rutherford’s model of the atom was the idea that if the electrons were ________.

Wittaler [7]

The correct option is A. Rutherford model of the atom consider an atom to be made up of a central nucleus with electrons orbiting around it. The nucleus is considered to be tiny, heavy and its positively charged while the electrons are negatively charged. The shortcoming of this model is that it was not able to explain how the positive nucleus was not able to attract the negative electrons and pull them inside the nucleus.
