Draw the Lewis structure for the ammonia molecule. Be sure to include all resonance structures that satisfy the octet rule.

Chemistry

Answer:

Attached Lewis structure

Explanation:

To draw the Lewis structure, we need to consider the octet rule: atoms will gain lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons. Hydrogen is an exception because it is completed with 2 electrons (duet). N and H are nonmetals so they form covalent bonds, that is, they share electrons.

  • N has 5 valence electrons, so it has to share 3 pairs of electrons.
  • Each H has 1 valence electron, so it has to share 1 pair of electrons.

The Lewis structure is attached and there are no resonance structures since there are no pi electrons.

Answer:

Chemical science arises in the seventeenth century from the studies of alchemy popular among many of the scientists of the time. The basic principles of chemistry are considered to be collected for the first time in the work of the British scientist Robert Boyle: The Skeptical Chemist (1661).

CH3(CH2)50CH3<br><br> How many atoms
ahrayia [7]

24

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest indivisible particle of any matter. Atoms are distinct and distinguishable from one another and are called elements:

                             CH₃(CH₂)₅0CH₃

 There are 3 different kinds of atoms in the compound above called  

elements

                               Carbon

                               Hydrogen

                               Oxygen

 In the compound the subscripts gives the number of atoms:

                                C - 7

                                H - 16

                                0 - 1

    Number of atoms in the compound is 24.

What is the chemical formula for zinc phosphate?
solong [7]
First, we have to find the chemical formula for zinc ion and phosphate ion.

Zinc ion is a cation, and its formula is Zn^2+,
This is because zinc atom requires 2 outer shell electrons to be removed in order to become stable.

On the other hand, phosphate ion is a anion, and its formula is PO4^3-.

In order to find the chemical formula of this ionic bond, we need to make sure their charges are balanced.

To do this, take 2+ and 3-, their least common multiple is 6, so in order to turn both charges into 6+ and 6-, we need to determine how many of that ion is needed.

So to make 2+ to 6+, we need 3 zinc ions ( +2 x 3 = 6).
And to make 3- to 6-, we need 2 phosphate ions (-3 x 2 = - 6).

Now we can just combine the chemical formulas with the number of that ion needed (you can ignore the charge)
Therefore, your answer should be Zn3(PO4)2.

A 2.144-g sample of phosgene, a compound used as a chemical warfare agent during World War I, contains 0.260 g of carbon, 0.347
Greeley [361]
First convert each mass to moles by dividing by the molar mass.

0.347g Oxygen = 0.022 moles
0.260g Carbon = 0.022 moles
1.537g Chlorine = 0.043 moles

Divide each by smallest mole vale (0.022)

Oxygen = 0.022/0.022 = 1
Carbon = 0.022/0.022 = 1
Chlorine = 0.043/0.022 = 2

Therefore the empirical formula is COCl2
