Atoms, the main constituents of matter, consist of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons within a nucleus which are surrounded by a sea of electrons that sit in distinct shells. The electrons on the outer shell are known as valence electrons. The valence can be descibed as the smaller number of electrons an atom has to borrow or to lend, the greater the activity.
The answer is B.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The overall charge on ClO3− is shown on the image attached to this answer. If we calculate the formal charges on each atom in the structure, we will notice that one oxygen atom has a formal charge of -1 while all other atoms have a formal charge of zero.
This gives the compound an overall charge of -1 as shown in the image attached to this answer. This is the correct Lewis structure for the compound ClO3− .
Answer:
0.03697 mol Al₂(SO₄)₃
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>
- Reading a Periodic Table
- Using Dimensional Analysis
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
12.65 g Al₂(SO₄)₃
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>
Molar Mass of Al - 26.98 g/mol
Molar Mass of S - 32.07 g/mol
Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol
Molar Mass of Al₂(SO₄)₃ - 2(26.98) + 3(32.07) + 12(16.00) = 342.17 g/mol
<u>Step 3: Convert</u>
<u />
= 0.03697 mol Al₂(SO₄)₃
<u>Step 4: Check</u>
<em>We are given 4 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>
We already have 4 sig figs in the final answer, so no need to round.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The person would gain weight because the undigested food would sit in the person's body. The person would not lose or gain weight, but it would take longer for the body to use the food that was eaten.
