The combination of an atom with other atom is bonding. Or break apart from other substance is breaking of interaction.

The bonding or interaction (inter-atomic) are due orbitals and electrons present in these orbitals

The atom consists of

a) a central nucleus which has proton and neutrons: they do not take part in chemical reactions

b) the part other than nucleus which has shells, sub shells and orbitals

These orbitals have electrons.

So the outer part of nucleus takes part in any combination with other substance

An iron pipe has a density of 7.86 g/mL and a volume of 324.4 mL. What is the mass of the iron pipe?

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

$Mass=2549.784 \ g$

Explanation:

The equation for mass is:

$Mass = Density * Volume$

We plug in the given values into the equation:

$Mass = 7.86 \ g/mL * 324.4 \ mL$

$Mass=2549.784 \ g$

Create the Lewis structure of CF4. NOTE: do only the step asked for in each part and then click Check–don't work ahead to solve

Naya [18.7K]

To create the Lewis structure we need to take into account the octet rule: atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.

C belongs to Group 4A in the periodic table so it has 4 valence electrons. It needs to share 4 pairs of electrons to complete the octet.

F belongs to Group 7A in the periodic table so it has 7 valence electrons. Each F needs to share 1 pair of electrons to complete the octet.

As a consequence, in CF₄, C will form a single bond with each F and all the octets will be complete.
