Oxygen has 8 electrons. On the outer ring, it has 6 valance electrons. It need 2 more valance electrons to be stable.

G(1)=0 g(n) =g(n-1)+n g(2)=

Aliun [14]

G(2)=2

For this, you can plug in 2 everywhere you see an n. So the equation will read:
g(2)=g(2-1)+2 -> g(2)=g(1)+2. Since we are given g(1)=0, we can plug in 0 where we see g(1). The equation is now. g(2)=0+2. So, g(2)=2.

A ______ in medicine is a form of scientific argumentation in which evidence is used to rule out claims and support the best con

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: Scientific reasoning

Explanation:

A scientific reasoning can be defined as the justification which connects the evidence with that of the claim and it rules out all those claims that are not supported by any evidence. It explains the fact that how evidence can support a claim and scientifically acceptable conclusion can be drawn. An argument is always based on one or more claims which can either be true or evidentially proved.

Calculate the percent ionic, the percent covalent, and the bond length (in picometers) of a chemical bond between phosphorus and

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

4 percent ionic, 96 percent covalent, 222 pm

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Phosphorus:

Atomic radius = 109 pm

Covalent radius = 106 pm

Ionic radius = 212 pm

Electronegativity of phosphorus = 2.19

Selenium:

Atomic radius = 122 pm

Covalent radius = 116 pm

Ionic radius = 198 pm

Electronegativity of selenium= 2.55

The percentage ionic character of the chemical bond between phosphorus and selenium is given by the relation;

Using Pauling's alternative electronegativity difference method, we have;

$\% \, Ionic \ Character = \left [18\times (\bigtriangleup E.N.)^{1.4} \right ] \%$

Where:

Δ E.N. = Change in electronegativity = 2.55 - 2.19 = 0.36

Therefore;

$\% \, Ionic \ Character = \left [18\times (0.36)^{1.4} \right ] \% = 4.3 \%$

Hence the percentage ionic character = 4.3% ≈ 4%

the percentage covalent character = (100 - 4.3)% = 95.7% ≈ 96%

The bond length for the covalent bond is found adding the covalent radii of both atoms as follows;

The bond length for the covalent bond = 106 pm + 116 pm = 222 pm.

The correct option is therefore, 4 percent ionic, 96 percent covalent, 222 pm.

james needs 4.20 moles of nabr for an experiment. how many grams of nabr must he measure out to have 4.20 moles?

kondor19780726 [428]

75.7 grams.
Convert moles to grams using this:

Moles • grams/1 mole = grams

(Grams is over 1 mole)
