explain how one and two letters chemical symbols are used to identify elements whose names begin with the same letter, for examp

le hydrogen and helium.

The symbol of helium is He and this distinguishes it from the symbol for hydrogen.

<h3>What are chemical symbols?</h3>

Chemical symbol are the means by which we designate elements on paper. The symbols could be one letter or two letter as the case may be. There is no chemical symbol that has more than two letters that are used to designate the element.

We know that hydrogen has the symbol H. There is to way that another element will also have the symbol H as that would be tantamount to confusion. As a result of that, the symbol of helium is He and this distinguishes it from the symbol for hydrogen.

Draw the best Lewis structure for NH3 by filling in the bonds, lone pairs, and formal charges. (Assign bonds, lone pairs, radica
kiruha [24]

Answer :  The Lewis-dot structure of NH_3 is shown below.

Explanation :

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

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, NH_3

As we know that hydrogen has '1' valence electron and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in NH_3 = 5 + 3(1) = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.

Formula for formal charge :

\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}

\text{Formal charge on N}=5-2-\frac{6}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_1=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_2=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_3=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure of NH_3 is shown below.
