Answer:
Refer to your periodic table. Lewis dot structures are based off the number of valence electrons an atom has.
Looking at the compounds, we can see that Gallium has three valence electrons in its outer shell and oxygen has six. Oxygen and Gallium are going to share electrons with one another, making a V shape in their diagram.
One Oxygen would make a double bond with a Gallium, leaving one valence electron to another oxygen. That oxygen takes that Final electron. It now has 7 in its outer shell. The remaining Gallium and Oxygen do the same double bond as the one before, leaving the 7 valence electron oxygen with one more electron.
Answer:
H =2; I = 2; J = 2
Explanation:
Carbon is element 6 in the Periodic Table.
Start at element 1 (H) and count from left to right until you reach element 6 (C).
You get the electron configuration
C: 1s² 2s²2p².
Thus,
H =2; I = 2; J = 2
Answer:
carbon dioxide
Explanation:
Carbon burns in oxygen to form carbon dioxide. Since hydrocarbon fuels only contain two elements, we always obtain the same two products when they burn. In the equation below methane (CH 4) is being burned. The oxygen will combine with the carbon and the hydrogen in the methane molecule to produce carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water (H 2O).
Carbon, as graphite, burns to form gaseous carbon (IV) oxide (carbon dioxide), CO2. ... When the air or oxygen supply is restricted, incomplete combustion to carbon monoxide, CO, occurs. 2C(s) + O2(g) → 2CO(g) This reaction is important. When one mole of carbon is exposed to some energy in the presence of one mole of oxygen gas, one mole of carbon dioxide gas is produced. This reaction is a combustion reaction.
