How many bonding electrons are in the Lewis structure of PCl₃?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Blababa [14]1 year ago
3 0

Answer:

B.) 6

Explanation:

Attached below is the Lewis structure of PCl₃ . Since phosphorus (P) has 5 valence electrons and chlorine (Cl) has 7 valence electrons, there should be 26 valence electrons (5 + 7(3) = 26) in the Lewis structure.

Bonding electrons are the electrons present in the chemical bonds between two atoms.

There are 2 electrons shared in every single bond. Within PCl₃, there are 3 single bonds. As such, there are 6 bonding electrons in the Lewis structure of PCl₃.

(b) what is the distance (in meters) between the centers of adjacent atoms?
We assume the atoms as cube, so we use the volume of the cube to calculate the distance of the atoms.

A person with a body temperature of 37°C holds an ice cube with a temperature of 0°C in a room where the air temperature is 20.°
Arlecino [84]
The answer is (2). Heat always flows down the temperature gradient, from high temperature to low temperature. Therefore, since the person is the warmest, heat flows from the person to both the ice and the air. Additionally, since the air is warmer than the ice, heat flows from the air to the ice.

I need help with this question ​
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

2.25×10¯³ mm.

Explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained the following information:

Diameter in micrometer = 2.25 μm

Diameter in millimetre (mm) =?

Next we shall convert 2.25 μm to metre (m). This can be obtained as follow:

1 μm = 1×10¯⁶ m

Therefore,

2.25 μm = 2.25 μm / 1 μm × 1×10¯⁶ m

2.25 μm = 2.25×10¯⁶ m

Finally, we shall convert 2.25×10¯⁶ m to millimetre (mm) as follow:

1 m = 1000 mm

Therefore,

2.25×10¯⁶ m = 2.25×10¯⁶ m /1 m × 1000 mm

2.25×10¯⁶ m = 2.25×10¯³ mm

Therefore, 2.25 μm is equivalent to 2.25×10¯³ mm.

Answer:

1)Na2O

let the valency of Na is x

2(x)+(2)=0

2x+2=0

2x=-2

x=-1

2)ZnO

let the valency of Zn is x

x+2=0

x=-2

3)Al2O3

let the valency of Al is x

2(x)+3(2)=0

2x+6=0

2x=-6

x=-3
