The Lewis structure the student drew is incorrect. The total number of electrons in bonds and lone pairs is equal to the total number of valence electrons available, then a valid Lewis structure is produced.

The correct structure is the following:

The structure that was drawn by the student was incorrect because the total number of electrons around Oxygen were incorrect, there were 6 instead of 8, which was against the octet rule. The correct structure should have 8 electrons around each atom.

How many atoms of hydrogen are present in 2.92 g of water?

Wittaler [7]

The molecular weight of water is 18.01528 g/mol.
So in 2.92 grams there are 2.92/18.01528 = 0.1621 mol of particles.

1 mol contains 6,02214 × 10^23 particles by definition.

So the nr of H2O molecules is 0.1621 * 6,02214 × 10^23 = 0,9761 × 10^23.

Every molecule has 2 H atoms, so you have to double that.

2* 0,9761 × 10^23 = 1.952 × 10^23.

In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons to fill up energy levels. True or False

Nadusha1986 [10]

TRUE

Explanation:

Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability. By sharing their outer most electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability. So, it is true.

A container with two gases, helium and argon, is 30.0% helium. Calculate the partial pressure of helium and

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

helium=1,2atm

argon=2,8atm

Explanation:

partial is pressure exerted by each gas in a system since 30% is helium it means 70% is argon

argon =70%x4

helium=30%4
