This structure is correct due to the total number of bonds and electrons

We employ the octet rule, which states that all atoms in a compound are expected to follow, to check the accuracy of any chemical structure. The octet rule is precisely satisfied for each atom in the depicted structure of carbon IV oxide. The valence shell of each atom in the molecule is surrounded by eight electrons. We may thus infer that this structure is accurate given the total number of bonds and electrons since CO2 has sixteen valence electrons.

It possesses a negative charge of 1.602176634 coulombs, the basic unit of electric charge, which is comparable to its negative charge. The rest mass of an electron is 9.1093837015 10^-31 kg, or just 1/1,836 the mass of a proton. An electron is therefore considered to have practically negligible mass in comparison to a proton or neutron, and its matter is not taken into consideration when calculating an atom's mass number.

Consider the model of the nitrogen atom which electron configuration matches the model

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

1s², 2s², 2p³

Explanation:

The atomic number of Nitrogen is seven. So it contains seven protons and seven electrons in neutral form. Also, the electronic configuration cited above contains seven electrons among which two electrons are present in first shell and five electrons are present in valence shell respectively.

Does every rock go through the rock cycle, from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic each time around???

Alex17521 [72]

No it does not ALWAYS go through all the stages because each rock forms differently at different rates. Igneous rock can weather to sediement rock, or melt to magma, however this does not necessarily mean it does this every time. It all depends on the temperature, wind, and pressure/heat.

Larger molecules experience larger dispersion forces due to more distance of valance of electrons from the nucleus.

<h2>Cause of stronger dispersion force</h2>

Larger and heavier atoms and molecules have stronger dispersion forces than smaller and lighter ones because in a larger atom or molecule, the valence electrons are farther from the nuclei than in a smaller atom or molecule.

They are less tightly held to the nuclear charge present in the nucleus and can easily form temporary dipoles so we can conclude that larger molecules experience larger dispersion forces due to more distance of valance of electrons from the nucleus.
