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.

1. Ionization energy is the energy needed to remove an electron from an atom. We can use the periodic table to predict ionizatio

just olya [345]

Ionization energy increases from left to right because the left wants to lose elctrons and the right wants to gain electron

As you go a group it is easier lose lose because the electrons are farther away from the nucleus and there is less attraction from the positive charges.

It should be 3p3. the p level can hold 6 electrons

Rubidium group 1, 1 valence electrons very reactive

Mg2,2 very reactive

Al 3, 3 reactive

Why do molecules of oxygen have to have an even number of atoms?

Ann [662]

Answer:this is all i found out

Oxygen is known as a diatomic molecule. Oxygen atom has atomic number as 8 so it has its K shell completely filled with 2 electrons. While it has only 6 electrons in L shell which requires 8 electrons to get inert gas configuration. So oxygen atom shares 2 electrons with another oxygen atom to form a diatomic molecule.
