Oliga [24]1 year ago

Maximum number of covalent bonds that an oxygen atom can make with hydrogen is 2.

  • the ground state electronic configuration of oxygen is 2s² 2p⁴ that means it has 6 electrons in its valence shell and require two electrons are required to complete its octate.
  • Two bonds are created when an electron donor atom shares the two needed electrons with oxygen. The ability of two oxygen atoms to share valence electrons results in the creation of a double bond between the two atoms.
  • There are no longer any empty orbitals in the octet of oxygen after it is complete. As a result, it is unable to accept more electrons or create more bonds.

Therefore, Oxygen can only generate two bonds because it needs two additional electrons to complete its octet, after which it will run out of empty orbitals in which to receive additional electrons and create additional bonds.

What would be the advantage of using a net ionic equation to represent a redox reaction
wolverine [178]
The net ionic equation is shorter to use and already leaves out the electrons that transferred from the reducing agent to the oxidizing agent. Also, in some occasions the aqueous ions H+ and (or) OH- ions that help balance the net ionic charge are no longer shown in the net ionic equation.

Concentrated nitric acid used in laboratory work is 68% nitric acid by mass in aqueous solution. What should be the molarity of
dsp73
The first thing we need to do here is to recognize the unit of molarity and the units of the given percentage of nitric acid.

Molarity is mol HNO3 / L of solution. This is our aim

The given percentage is 0.68 g HNO3/ g solution

multiplying this with density to convert g solution into mL solution and dividing with the molecular weight of HNO3 (63 g/mol) to convert g HNO3 to mol. Therefore we obtain

0.016 mol/ mL or 16.23 mol/ L (M)
