The structure of Methanol (CH₃OH) is shown below. This structure contains
2 lone pair of electrons on oxygen (highlighted red). Electronic configuration of oxygen is,
Oxygen = 8 = 1s², 2s², 2px², 2py¹, 2pz¹
There are six electrons in valence shell of oxygen, among these six electrons two electrons are unpaired and involved in forming covalent bond with hydrogen and carbon, while remaining 4 electrons in pair (i.e. 2s², 2px²) exists as lone pairs.
Answer:
the compound formed between nitrogen and magnesium is Magnesium Nitride
Answer:The formulas of ionic compounds are:
a)
b)
c)
d)
Explanation:
Formulas for the an ionic compounds is determine by:
Criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.
(a) Copper bromide :Given that it contains ion.
(b) Manganese oxide : Given that it contains ion.
(c)Mercury iodide :Given that it contains
(d) Magnesium phosphate :Given that it contains
