Nitrogen, phosphorus, and arsenic can replace the generic "X" symbol as they have five valence electrons in their outer shell.

<h3>What is a dot notation?</h3>
  • A Lewis electron-dot symbol or dot notation is a way of representing the valence electrons of an atom using dots around the symbol of the element.
  • The dots are equivalent to the valence electrons in an atom
  • These dots are arranged on the left and right and above and below the symbol
  • No more than two dots are arranged on a side
<h3>What are the valence electrons?</h3>
  • Valence electrons are the electrons that are positioned in the outermost shell of an atom
  • They are the farthest from the nucleus and hence least tightly held electrons by the nucleus
  • Valence electrons of an atom participate in the bond and reaction and hence, they determine the reactivity of an element.

Thus, nitrogen, phosphorus, and arsenic replace the X symbol as they 5 valence electrons in their outermost shell and produce a valid dot notation.

If water were a non-polar<br> Molecule
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Water would not be able to transport nutrients -‐-‐ in plants, or in our bodies -‐-‐ nor to dissolve and transport waste products out of our bodies. ... Cohesiveness, adhesiveness, and surface tension: would decrease because without the +/-‐ polarity, water would not form hydrogen bonds between H20 molecules.

Calculate e°cell for a silver-aluminum cell in which the cell reaction is al(s) + 3ag+(aq) → al3+(aq) + 3ag(s) –2.46 v 0.86 v –0
tekilochka [14]
When E° cell is an electrochemical cell which comprises of two half cells.
 
So,

when we have the balanced equation of this half cell :

Al3+(aq) + 3e- → Al(s)   and E°1 = -1.66 V 

and we have  also this balanced equation of this half cell :

Ag+(aq)  + e- → Ag(s)  and E°2 = 0.8 V 

so, we can get E° in Al(s) + 3Ag (aq) → Al3+(aq) + 3Ag(s)

when E° = E°2 - E°1

∴E° =0.8 - (-1.66)

      = 2.46 V

∴ the correct answer is 2.46 V
