Answer: True

Explanation:

Carbon has four valence electrons, so it can achieve a full outer energy level by forming four covalent bonds. When it bonds only with hydrogen, it forms compounds called hydrocarbons. Carbon can form single, double, or triple covalent bonds with other carbon atoms

Answer:

The answer to your question is true.

Explanation:

Carbons atoms have 4 valence electrons so they can form a great variety of bonds, like single bonds, double bonds and triple bonds.

single bond = C - C

double bonds = C = C

triple bonds = C ≡ C

How many number of moles are present in 200. g of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)

nikdorinn [45]

You can solve this problem through dimensional analysis.

First, find the molar mass of NaHCO3.

Na = 22.99 g

H = 1.008 g

C = 12.01 g

O (3) = 16 (3) g

Now, add them all together, you end with with the molar mass of NaHCO3.

22.99 + 1.008 + 12.01 + 16(3) = 84.008 g NaHCO3. This number means that for every mole of NaHCO3, there is 84.008 g NaHCO3. In simpler terms, 1 mole NaHCO3 = 84.008 g NaHCO3.

After finding the molar mass of sodium bicarbonate, now you can use dimensional analysis to solve for the number of moles present in 200. g of sodium bicarbonate.

$200. g NaHCO_3 * \frac{1 mole NaHCO_3}{84.008 g NaHCO_3}$

Cross out the repeating units which are g NaHCO3, and the remaining unit is mole NaHCO3

200. * 1 = 200

200/ 84.008 = 2.38

Notice how there are only 3 sig figs in the answer. This is because the given problem only gave three sig figs.

Your final answer is 2.38 mol NaHCO3.

A neutral atom in the ground state of Sulfur has its outer most valence electron in which orbital? f d

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: The outermost valence electron enters the p orbital.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in outer most orbital of an atom.

Sulfur is the 16th element of the periodic table having 16 electrons.

Electronic configuration of sulfur atom is $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4$

The number of valence electrons are 2 + 4 = 6

These 6 electrons enter s-orbital and p-orbital but the outermost valence electron will enter the p-orbital.

Hence, the outermost valence electron enters p orbital.

Write an equilibrium equation that shows bisulfate acting as a weak acid in water.

NemiM [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Bisulphate ion is a weak acid as it can form hydronium ion in water .

HSO₄⁻ + H₂O ⇄ SO₄⁻² + H₃O⁺

The equilibrium constant of this reaction is very small , hence bisulphate ion is very weak acid.

How do you know if a compound will dissociate or ionize in water?

Ivenika [448]

when an ionic or covalent compound is dissolved in water they break apart into ions through process called dissociation ..the ions get attracted by the water molecules and hence they carry polar charges ..and if there is a conduction of electricity. .then we get to know that a compound is dissociated ..

Please Help Quick!!! Lewis Structure of PO3 3-

nevsk [136]

1. Find its coordination figure/coordination number of central atom (CF)

Ev = Vallence electron of central atom

Σe = electrons donated from substituents

Terminal O gives 0 electrons, hence Σe = 3 x 0

charge = charge of the compound

2. Find EP (electron pairs) and LP (lone pairs)

LP = CF - EP

3. Draw the skeleton with octet substituents (top right figure)

4. Find formal charge for each atoms (Qf)

5. Write formal charge near atom in skeleton

6. Enjoy
