Answer:

0,0,0,0

Explanation:

The formal charge formula:

Formal charge= Valence electrons - lone pair electrons - 0.5 shared electrons

So:

Hydrogen: 1 elec. of valence and shares two electrons with the O

Formal charge= 1 - 0 - 0.5*2=0

Oxygen: 6 elec. of valence, 2 lone pairs and shares two electrons with the H and two with the F

Formal charge= 6 - 4 - 0.5*4=0

Fluorine: 7 elec. of valence, 6 lone pairs and shares two electrons with the O

Formal charge= 7 - 6 - 0.5*2=0

Oxygen: 6 elec. of valence, 3 lone pairs

Formal charge= 6 - 6 - 0.5*0=0

Note: the dative bond between F and the second O doesn't count as shared electrons.

Orlov [11]

The best description of the process to draw the segment is B. b place a compass at one endpoint of the segment and trace an arc. do the same from the other endpoint. draw a line through the intersections of the arcs.

<h3>What is a segment bisector?</h3>

It should be noted that a segment bisector simply means a line to segment which cuts another line segment at the center but dividing the lines into two equal halves.

In this case, based on the information given, the best description of the process to draw the segment is to place a compass at one endpoint of the segment and trace an arc, do the same from the other endpoint. draw a line through the intersections of the arcs.

In conclusion, the correct option is B.

The compound sodium carbonate is a strong electrolyte. Write the reaction when solid sodium carbonate is put into water:
Ludmilka [50]

The compound sodium carbonate is a strong electrolyte because it completely dissociates when placed in water into its component ions. The equation of the reaction can be expressed as:

Na_2CO_3_{(s)} ---> 2 Na^+_{(aq)} + CO_3^{(2+)}_{(aq)}

The dissociation leads to the formation of sodium and carbonate ions with the latter held together by its internal covalent bond.

This is unlike weak electrolytes that do not dissociate completely in water or aqueous solutions. Only a small fraction of the solute exists as ions in the solution.
