MArishka [77]3 years ago

Formal Charge is calculated as, Lewis structure is attached below,

Formal Charge  =  [# of valence electrons] - [electrons in lone pairs + 1/2 the                                     number of bonding electrons]

# of valence electrons of Cl  = 7

electrons in lone pairs  =  4

number of bonding electrons  =  6

Formal Charge  =  [7] - [4 + 6/2]

Formal Charge  =  [7] - [4 + 3]

Formal Charge  =  [7] - [7]

Formal Charge  =  0

Result:
           Formal charge on Cl in ClF₃ is zero.

Which statement about relative motion is not true?
AURORKA [14]

Explanation:

laws of physics which apply when you are at rest on the earth also apply when you are in any reference frame which is moving at a constant velocity with respect to the earth. For example, you can toss and catch a ball in a moving bus if the motion is in a straight line at constant speed.

Which chemical element represents the most abundant “atoms of an element” found in air?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

The order of elements by volume-fraction (which is approximately molecular mole-fraction) in the atmosphere is nitrogen (78.1%), oxygen (20.9%), argon (0.96%), followed by (in uncertain order) carbon and hydrogen because water vapor and carbon dioxide, which represent most of these two elements in the air, are variable.

I copied and pasted but I hope this information is helpful :)
