There are 10 hydrogen atoms that bind and there are 2 pairs of free electrons in the non-binding O atom
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Aldehydes are alkane-derived compounds containing carbonyl groups (-CO-) where one bond binds to an alkyl group while another binds to a hydrogen atom.
The general structure is R-CHO with the molecular formula :

Naming is generally the same as the alkane by replacing the suffix with -al
Butanal or butyraldehyde is an aldehyde which has 4 C atoms
Inside the structure there are 3 atoms involved in bonding:
- 1. Atom C with 4 valence electrons, requires 4 electrons to reach the octet
- 2. Atom O with 6 valence electrons, requires 2 electrons to reach the octet
- 3. Atom H with 1 valence electron, requires 1 electron to reach a duplet
In describing Lewis's structure the steps that can be taken are:
- 1. Count the number of valence electrons from atoms in a molecule
- 2. Give each bond a pair of electrons
- 3. The remaining electrons are given to the atomic terminal so that an octet is reached
- 4. The remaining electrons that still exist in the central atom
- 5. If the central atom is not yet octet, free electrons are drawn to the central atom to form double bonds
In the Butanal structure (C₄H₈O) there is 1 double bond of the functional group (-CHO) between the C atom and the O atom

Answer:
All of them!
Explanation:
Since Mg, Li, Ca, and Cs are all in groups 1 and 2 of the periodic table, they are alkali/alkaline earth metals and will all lose electrons during ionic bonding.
Answer:
Noble gas, any of the seven chemical elements that make up Group 18 (VIIIa) of the periodic table. The elements are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), radon (Rn), and oganesson (Og).
Explanation:
I pretty much covered it in my answer!
Pls Brainliest! It would mean a lot! ;)
Solar: rays from the sun shine on solar pannels creating energy which is a renewable energy.
Water: water stored at a dam flows through turbines creating energy which is a renewable energy
Fossil fuels: fossil fuels are extracted from the ground the burned to create energy and this is a nonrenewable resource.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
2 electrons
Explanation:
There are five 3d orbitals, each of which can hold up to 2 electrons, for 10 total electrons. An orbital is described by the principle quantum number, n, the angular momentum quantum number, l, and the magnetic quantum number, ml.
