Answer:Graphite has a giant covalent structure in which: each carbon atom is joined to three other carbon atoms by covalent bonds.
<span>Ca^(2+). Calcium is an alkaline earth metal with an atomic number of 20. Its electronic configuration is (2, 8, 8, 2). From the electronic configuration it would be observed that calcium has two valence electrons. Calcium shares these two electrons with non metals like sulphur in an ionic bond to obtain an outer shell which is full octet. Let me use Sulphur. When calcium gives out its two valence electrons its electronic configuration becomes (2, 8, 8) thereby obtaining a stable out shell and the calcium ion becomes Ca^(2+). The sulphur also obtains a stable octet because it has 6 valence electron initially.</span>
Answer:
This tells us that for every 2 moles of potassium chlorate that are decomposed, then 3 moles of oxygen gas is produced.
