You didn't include much information as to what you were referring too, however I answered a similar question recently to a friend so I'm hoping this is the same question in complete as to yours, if not I apologize.

a.) 2Na(s) + Cl2(g) -----> 2NaCl(s)
Na --> Na+1 is oxidized
Cl2 --> Cl- is reduced

b.) 2HNO3(aq) + 6HI(aq) ----> 2NO(g) + 3I2(s) + 4H2O(l)
N+5 --> N+2 is reduced
I-1 --> I2 is oxidized

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of $NH_3$ is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $NH_3$

As we know that hydrogen has '1' valence electron and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $NH_3$ = 5 + 3(1) = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.

Formula for formal charge :

$\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}$

$\text{Formal charge on N}=5-2-\frac{6}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on }H_1=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on }H_2=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on }H_3=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0$

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure of $NH_3$ is shown below.

What effect does reusing or recycling municipal waste have on environmental resources? Group of answer choices increased use of

Effectus [21]

Answer:

preservation of raw materials

Explanation:

Reusing and recycling is the process by which the used products are used again or recycled in different form to use it again. Excessive use of the raw materials can lead to their extinction. Recycling the materials helps in decreasing the pollution in the environment. It also helps in reduction in the emission of the harmful gases. When municipal wastes are reused or recycled, the raw materials are preserved. These are the process involved in sustainable use of resources.
